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?

match point

oh my

Well damn. Guess he gets a long rest before Wimbledon now.

Great match from Dolgopolov.

Oh! Poor Rafa, he looks really down :( But we'll played Alex.

Wow! Gobstopper played very well. Raga was very nice to sign autographs after his defeat.

Grass court still looks tiny somehow after clay in French

He has still had a lot more match play than he got last year prior to Wimbledon, so that had to be good.

Gutted for him though.

Want Stan to win the tournament now.

Bagel- Rafa is a gent, especially in defeat. Bless him.

Just popping in to offer & sympathy to many of you.

Dogsbollocks played amazingly.

GO, ANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are they interviewing Jose?

Moment of Mummy pride: the baby just yelled at me from the doorway as she left the room so that I would look up and she could wave goodbye. Feeling a bit sniffly.

DH will be glad he gets to see a bit of Andy's match. He might be less glad he gets oven chips and crumbed fish for dinner.

This Lu chap is good.

I'm trying to cook dinner.

I am not in the mood.

The dog keeps sitting on my feet.

Matches start at 12.30. On Eurosport they show the matches from the start.

BBc. programme starts at 1, then they spend up to half an hour yapping away before showing a match in the middle of it.

red button only showed football till then.

why do they have to yap for so much time and usually twaddle anyway (especially Andrew Castle).????

wow, well done dolgopololpolpolpolpolp!

Come on Andy

Stan Nick match was a bit of a damp squib, thought itd be a good one, Nick was on another planet.

In - the 20 minute 'chat' at the beginning really bugs me. Stan was already serving for the match, by the time they turned over to it.

But it's the BBC. They can't hide the fact they are only interested in Murray. Anything else is just filler.

This Lu bloke has is doing ok.

I suppose since I was always bigging up Dogsbollocks before, i should now support him. I do like him.just not when he is beating Rafa

Ahhh, Rafa's press conference.

Well, that was odd.

Zara is really being awful. Sid nearly grew a backbone.

Love Jimmi when he is playing detective.

And that was meant to be on the Doctors thread

Rafa, with Marc Lopez doing better in the doubles. At least it will give him more match practice if he stays in that a bit longer.

Bit odd though, because he played with Deliciano Lopez last week in Stuttgart, who is playing with Mirnyi.

They seem to have stopped All coverage of the Cilic match.

Well that's charming.

Fuckers!

I am v.v.v cross - that was a great match.

I set all, and we can't watch.

Lovely. Maybe Cilic isn't a good enough Slam champion to warrant airtime.

Well, I'm glad Cilic won.

Does anyone have a link to the order of play?

The phone-line engineer is coming this morning so we might end the day with proper Internet. Which would be great as I'm almost out of phone data.
