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?

Oh gosh - must be nearly ten years since Stella now?

Raahh · 15/06/2015 14:30

juan I knowGrin

oh heck, come on Verdasco!

JuanPotatoTwo · 15/06/2015 14:31

Shock Verdasco also has two bottles - maybe it's a Spanish thing?

JuanPotatoTwo · 15/06/2015 14:33

Ooh I bet that hurt his coccyx, I felt that!

JuanPotatoTwo · 15/06/2015 14:37

Well held. Phew.

JuanPotatoTwo · 15/06/2015 14:43

Yay.

Raahh · 15/06/2015 14:45

phew! that's a good hold for Verdasco.

Raahh · 15/06/2015 14:45

He does have a lovely smile.

Raahh · 15/06/2015 14:55

Poor Verdasco. His entire cv, as far as the Brits are concerned seems to boil down to 'played 5 sets against Murray'. Hmm

Raahh · 15/06/2015 14:57

irascible funny to think Hewitt is only 6 months older than Federer.

Raahh · 15/06/2015 14:58

its not irascible!

JuanPotatoTwo · 15/06/2015 15:03

I'm not keen on either of these two. I haven't forgiven Hewitt for beating Pot in the US Open couple of years ago!

Raahh · 15/06/2015 15:12

The crowd obviously saw too my h of RG- sit down!!

Raahh · 15/06/2015 15:15

I didn't catch who the umpire of this is- but every so often he sound like Bruce Forsyth.

JuanPotatoTwo · 15/06/2015 15:18

Is he saying "Nice to see you, to see you nice"?!

DramaAlpaca · 15/06/2015 15:19

After a lot of fiddling around, DH has finally managed to get the TV working in the Spanish house, and wonder of wonders has found BBC! So I am now happily watching Queen's, with a lovely cold cerveza beside me Smile. Tennis will keep me occupied until we have to tidy up, pack & leave for the airport. Luckily I'm not a sun worshipper, so I'm happy to spend my last afternoon here indoors.

magimedi · 15/06/2015 15:31

Want Hewitt to win as have always had a soft spot for him, but it's not a thrilling match.

Deffo want Murray to win the title and Wimbledon!

Don't know how you can resist the sun, Drama - feeling so deprived of any decent heat here - crap summer so far.

Raahh · 15/06/2015 15:38

No, it's not thrilling.

Raahh · 15/06/2015 15:44

juan,it's every time he says love- all right my love.

Raahh · 15/06/2015 16:08

I've got to go out in a bit to collect dd1 from an after school club.
Come on Lleyton!

magimedi · 15/06/2015 16:57

So odd, after the French, to have this quiet, polite crowd!

Afraid to say I think Kevin is going to win.

DramaAlpaca · 15/06/2015 16:59

It is quiet, isn't it?

It's also very green!

JuanPotatoTwo · 15/06/2015 17:32

I don't think Ward will trouble Milos too much.

JuanPotatoTwo · 15/06/2015 17:38

Ooh look at Ward's spotty socks!
