Bye bye clay. Hello grass.

New thread for next part of the season .

Rafa - I love that!

I love the Daily Mash, that one did make me laugh when I saw it on FB this morning, so I thought I'd share.

Never heard of daily mash before and read it genuinely before realising that presumably it's a spoof of the daily mail....

Not sure what it's a spoof of. A mixture of stuff I think.

at the Daily Mash!

DD2 (3) is watching some of Queen's - she chooses players purely on whether or not they are wearing a hat.

That Daily Mash thing is funny. I can see Ernie really saying something like that :)

Oh no, little Dom has been beaten :( I was hoping to see him.

Andrew Castle is an idiot.

This may have been noted before.

Dimitrov playing Ward now...

Is mumsnet slow today? its taking ages for me to get into a thread. .

btw thought id put Smooth radio this morn thinking AC is at Queens but nooooo, cant get away from him!

This is bit short but one for all you Rafa fans. There are some others on here aren't there???

BTW BBC are showing some classic Wimbledone matches including THAT Rafa/federer final of 2008. It was on last Saturday but is available on the Iplayer. Whilst I like his current shorts better than the long ones he used to wear....the sleevelless top he wore with them that showed off those arms....

I knew there was something that came up on iplayer, that I meant to bookmark. Thank you purple

it was a sad day when Rafa stopped wearing his sleeveless tops

So, Wawrinka v Baghdatis coming up at Queen's - I've always had a soft spot for Marcos. But he is a a player who promised a lot and has never really delivered. He is hairy. I like hairy

Morning all some good matches today at queens and federer playing now and rafa at later at Halle.
Wave to us Juan!

I'm back - only kept up with the tennis via Turkish TV news - so have had to read all your waffle to see what really happened!

Rafa Just because I was away didn't mean I missed this:

Juan. Thank you. You know you're my favourite don't you and that Potato is all your and not that muddledmagi's don't you wink

I've got your card marked now!!

Looking forward to watching some Queens later & going to Eastbourne tennis next week, if it's fine.

Did I mention that Dogsbollocks is going to be there??

Welcome back!

I keep hoping they will show Dogs at Queen's but so far they haven't. And Nadal is on quite late on in the afternoon at Halle- at a time when I have to actually do things for my pesky family.

Stepanek giving Murray a match, i see. Murray is not wearing the grubby socks/shoes combo- but there is a definte Stripe de Limon on his shirt.

Yeah not sure what is going on with that limon stripe?!
Yay stepanek he's taken the first set.
Welcome back magi

The Limon stripe is obviously doing it's job...

Well, not looking good here is it?

in the meantime, Rafa is playing the lovely Dustin Brown, who is very a sleeveless limon top.

Well done Stepanek.

Awaits the Murray camp excuse.

Do you think he will now sack Mauresmo in Shrieky -stylee?

Dustin is such a lovely looking man

Vamos

(of course, if Rafa loses in Halle it is nowhere near the upset that Murray losing at Queens is ).

of course, having been happy to see Murray lose, Nadal is now playing like a limon.

Of course, he has an excuse, since he WON a Grand slam title on Sunday, and must be very tired.
