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?

Oh well done, Mr Simon.

Commentators were Peter Fleming and Andrew Cotter.

I have to go out soon. Don't want to :(

Stan's English has improved loads.

I've just had to make RaahhPuppy go outside for a wee.

He doesn't like the rain

Magnus looks as if he'd like to push John off the edge there. And who can blame him?

I'm sure his bladder is excessively grateful Raahh.

yy Why is he perched like that? Clearly no-one wanted to move for him.

I'm worried about Stan and his shorts. What will happen when he has to wear plain white ones? Will it be like Samson losing his hair?

Okay, it's your fault Raahh, but I think we need pic of puppy (even though not tennis related)

Perhaps he can get some underpants made up in the same material and wear them under his whites?

I'm making a list of things to put in my text to Andrew:

1. Can all commentators adopt MN pronunciations of players' names
2. Can you advise Stan as to who will make up some suitable pants for him.

Feel free to add to the list.

Bagel here are some pictures of Ike.

The cone is due to his decision to eat and mop, and the resulting surgery

Juan I'm not sure I can think of anything that isn't insulting.

But checked undies is definitely the way to go.

Did Castle just excuse the rude corporate types for sitting down late, because they pay the bills? See, he's a knob.

not eat and mop, obviously, although if he could mop it would be great.

He's gorgeous, like a schnauzer beard. Ike is a great name.

Yy to eat and mop

bagel.

I just hope he doesn't decide to eat anything else- of a all the things I moved when 'puppy proofing' the mop was the last thing I considered!

Going back to the Magnus Norman interview (yes very strange position JI was in...). Can I just say that I think he's rather lovely - Magnus that is not john! And he has the lovely Swedish accent as well - speaking of which what has happened to Stefan? Is he not with Roger any more?

purple Stefan was definitely at RG. I don't think he goes to all tournaments. and yes, Magnus us lovely.

I learnt Swedish briefly at University .

I was RUBBISH.

Doubles is very strange to watch. And it's fast.

Tall Saffer has a massive serve. I imagine him v Isner would be a little boring, perhaps.

just been to get dds.

Did Castle really just ask who was best on grass- Federer or Stan??

Anderson is playing very well from what I've seen.

And he's serving for the match.

in the absence of Rafa I wanted Stan to win the tournament.

So he had better get a move on.

And Anderson wins!!

bloody hell- suppose he can wash his shorts now.

So now who do I want to win? Maybe Dimitrov, or Dogs.

Not sure either will though.

ANDY TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Followed up by winning Wimbledon!

Plkease don't argue with me - 'cos I am older & meaner than any of you!!
