Bye bye clay. Hello grass.

New thread for next part of the season .

That was far too long. Don't think I've ever seen any of the ladies quite so drenched in sweat before. Think I'd have changed too.

Yes, I suppose she can't change on court like the men can!

Finally, a time warning. Will she take any notice? I doubt it.

About bloody time (the time warning that is).. but, no, I bet it makes no difference.

Oops. Fell asleep. Yay to a deciding set.

Come On Halepp11

Heather, excluded, I think Halep and Bouchard might be my new favourite players in the women's game at the moment. Maybe we're starting to get a bit more competition in it after the dire state it's been in for the last few years.

Shame for Halep.

It's nice to have fresh talent. I was getting very bored of watching the Williams sisters!!

Well, I went out, and came in expeting it to be over ages ago. I'm really glad to see Halep gave her a match- I like her a lot.

and Rafa yes, there really does seem to be more variety with the women- the number 1 changes almost weekly. There are some great youngsters coming up- and Halep has had a great year, rising up the rankings. I hope to see her do well at Wimbledon too.

Funny about the time warning thing- loads is made of how long Rafa takes between points, and he is often penalised. Princess Shrieky seems to be able to do what she likes . I really don't like her.

Simona is very sweet, and she did really well with her speech, she must have been gutted.

what an unfair way to win. and Shriekys milking it now.

eurosport commentators were saying about her 'sportsmanship' and now the presenters are contradicting, saying she deserved the title, FFS.

cant stand her, I really cant, and im surprised the crowd didn't boo her more.

Considering the number of coaches she has been through in the last few years -Connors lasted 1 match at the US open- Sven shouldn't get too comfortable in Camp Shrieky.

Pah! Grigor didn't get so much as a mention. Or not a named one anyway.

LOL. was thinkinh the same! wondered if they were all team of the week!

did she thank Grigor? didn't hear that. oh gosh shes so false!

Right- i am currently watching on Eurosport. Remind me someone that i saw the advert for Halle. I might just watch Nadal. Only I really like Queen's I would feel bad to miss it.

don't mind who wins the mens doubles, like both teams .

may change nn for next tournament, only one poster 'got' the irony of this one .

Sorry, Mac, I got your nn, I should've said on thread

I can't watch the doubles. Rugby is on so DH has claimed the TV.

He can push off tomorrow when Rafa/Djok are playing

thanks!

BBC are reporting that Murray has announced Mauresmo as his new coach.

I've jut see that- I know it was mentioned the other day that someone had suggested her. I'm not sure whether it's a good move or not.

She was a pretty no-nonsense sort of player, she might be good for him.

Right- before I settle down for the afternoon, I am going to sort out the school uniforms tomorrow. I should have done this weeks ago.

Ds is going to a party, so dh is taking the girls out for a bit, so i might just get a couple of hours peace.

Could be. Still think he'll regret splitting with Lendl.

I don't think Murray had much say in the split from Lendl, I heard Lendl was tired of travelling around and wanted to spend more time at home with his family.

Lendl has done wonders for Murray's mental game, let's hope Mauresmo is good for him too.

Borisssssss.......!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha! These days I see Boris and I think "three"!
