Grass court tennis/Queens championships thread

[purpleprincess]

Looking forward to a great few weeks of tennis!! Should we be asking MNHQ for some balls!!

So who is going to do well this year? Stan has tough first round match against Kyrios......and Nadal is playing Dolgo I think?

I hope whoever discovered the glory of fermented fruit was feted for the rest of his/her life.

Grouchy

Zena Garrison, there is a blast from the past.

Muller is losing it now- but great effort from him today.

Good hold.

Not everyone is a Murray fan, no, John.

Good rally.

ahh well.

I'm adding three times champion to the BINGO card.

Ah, brilliant. Relieved.

Well, at least I can do other things this weekend.

None of the potential finalists appeal.

Troicki beat Isner.

Bet that was a thrilling match to.

He's 6ft 10, Isner, you know.

6'10" you say? News to me.

I wish they had mentioned it more often, Grouchy- before he lost. So many missed opportunities.

Some of us are pro Murray - I don't understanf the antipathy.

I'd love to see a Murray Simon final - that would be some amazing tennis.

Troicki is quite nice - there's something about him..............

Yeah. I'm team Murray. I couldn't watch him tonight because I was working, but sounds like he had to hit some good form to come through. GO ANDY.

Sorry, I'm very late to this thread and the Feliciano love-in... but a whole day later I'm still thinking about the hair and dreamy eyes Telling my DD about "Deliciano", she was not impressed with my simpering Looking forward even more to Wimbledon.

As you were with the proper tennis.

Tobikko- you are very welcome to lust after Deliciano. He is an excellent candidate

More often than not, the thread (over the course of the year, when most of us can only 'see' scores on websites) gets derailed with lustful thoughts and pictures of dogs. It doesn't detract from the tennis much .

and whilst I concede that Murray did well to win the match today, because Muller, for a good while, played out of his skin- I want Inverdale sacked for likening him to Tigger. Not once, but thrice. And uttering the word 'tiggerisation'.

Sack the bastard.

Ah, I've finally found my home for lusting after tennis players aka appreciating good tennis I do appreciate Rafa's muscles tennis.

The reason the match was so good (I will shut up in a minute) was that prior to the match, it was pretty much expected Muller was, like many left in the draw- all about the serve.

Then he produced some incredible volleys, and passing shots- and ultimately it was the fact Murray's serve held up that lost it for Muller. So-I applaud Gilles Muller, (the 4th most famous person ever from Luxembourg ), for making it much more of a match than it first appeared on paper.

Tobikko you are in good company. his tight shorts are a particularly nice feature

Welcome to the thread

Tobikko - there are even (sometimes) pics of 'nekkid' tennis players on this thread!!

It's a lovely place to chat - lots of teasing but no one gets wound up. We all just enjoy the game.

Am assuming Andy is up second today?

Sorry, how tall is John Isner? Is he a giant? Or a Winnie the pooh character?

I've heard - though I can't be sure because they never mention it - that Isner is 6'10".

Really not sure how talk Isner Is.

We ought to tweet Castle, to see if he could mention it.
