Bye bye clay. Hello grass.

[JuanPotatoTwo]

New thread for next part of the season .

Well done stepanek
Rafa is in serious trouble in Halle but looks absolutely exhausted, think djokovic had the right idea take a week off and go sunbathe in Ibiza!

Rafa ditched Halle last year- I don't know why he didn't this year. I know the last two years at Wimbledon has been shitand he probably thought he needed some grass practice, but going to Halle after 2 long weeks in Paris is daft. Even Federer didn't win his match easily.

Mama - he should have gone fishing.

RAFA!

you are a Limon.

But obviously tired.

I love Dustin though.

Brown did play very well, though.

i think Stan has a good chance at Queens now- although Berdy is still in. Sad to see Gulbis go out.

C'mon Dogs!

Well, Dogs is through, even though I didn't get to see any of it. Nieminen retired.

Look what I got:

Great pics, Juan! You clearly had a good time

Given the start of the , I thought I'd make a bracket in praise of the one true linked by the colours of the one true tournament

Great pictures Pesky.

I have got a ticket for the Congress Theatre, Eastbourne, for next Thursday for an evening of chat with David Dimbleby AND Martina Natrivailova!

All proceeds to Bally's tennis academy.

I am so excited - have always loved Martina!

And I am so pleased I have spent ££ on this rather than a ticket to Eastbourne tennis as I don't think Dogsbollocks is going to show up.

Mind you, lots of rumours going round that Murray is goingto be a late entry to Eastbourne.

(As is El Pot!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH)

I follow a freelance photographer on twitter as she takes loads of photos on the ATP tour. She shared link to her website. There are some amazing photos on..trust me there is something for everyone on here IYKWIM....and she seems to have a thing for Feliciano Lopez...if that's your

Enjoy

Also quite a few pics of Dustin Brown too with his lovely hair.....

Love the bracelet.

Very jealous of the pictures, and the Eastbourne trips.

Was sad to see the Dogs retired in his match Dropping like flies again, all the one's I want to win.

I've decided I'd like Stepanek to win Queens, just... because

And the Spanish football team tonight, seemed to have been taking lessons on grass from Nadal. .

Double doses of the lovely Dustin today, with his singles and doubles. I hope he's earned himself enough this tournament to M.O.T his campervan

And Raahh you can spell

DD1 has finished her exams and wants her room painted. She'll have to accept help is available mornings and rain breaks only.

Hey muddled, welcome back. Did you have lovely time? Exciting news about your tickets.

I've decided i want Radek to win too. I watched him on the practice courts for ages (and he's not as ugly close up!) and he was just sooo nice to everyone - the other players, the trainers, the spectators etc. I felt bit sorry for him because none of the spectators seemed to know who he was, and I was about to ask him if he minded if I took a pic when Tsonga crossed over the wire out of the practice court into where the spectators were right next to me. By the time I'd recovered he'd gone. But I did get a couple of pics of him from behind - this one looks like two mates down the park! I did ask Dogsbollocks if he minded if I took his pic and he said "of course not" I was thinking of you at the time Raahh.

Forgot to add the pics.

I am loving this match between Stepanek & Lopez. Good, old-fashioned, classic grass court tennis.

And Lopez is very easy on the eye

Reader's getting all excited, bless.

Radek not Reader.

Just back from taking DD2 to her first class party. At a fairly small Wacky Warehouse that I have been to over a dozen parties at over the last 12 years. I survived- there was a tv with tennis on, and subtitles

Well done to Grigor. Would love to see Radek win this match, but it's very close .

What a fabulous afternoon of tennis that was.

I started off wanting Radek to win but then switched as I'd love to see Dimitrov & Lopez, got my wish!

I don't think I've ever seen anyone with such amazing posture as Lopez - he carries himself so well.

I am not feeling too great- usual monthly style headaches. I'm so dosed up with migraleve, I feel like I am floating.

Think I want Dimitrov to win. But I'm not really bothered, so long as it is good. Although I may not stay awake- despite ending up in bed at 7pm last night!

I love the little kids coming our with the players.

And looking forward to the Rally for Bally later. Such a very sad thing to lose Elena so soon after her diagnosis, but hopefully her legacy will live on with her academy.

Hope you feel better soon raahh. I don't mind who wins this one either really.
