*TENNIS THREAD CLAY IS ON THE WAY !*

Hello Lovelies.

Marking place.

Watching Dimitrov this afternoon - dressed all in black. Makes me think of Serena describing him as "the guy with the black heart" after he moved on from her to Sharapova. A world away from Rafa on his fishing boat with his long term girlfriend!

I always think the all black look is a bit grubby looking.

I'm not sure I blame him for splitting with Shrieky though. I imagine her to be a very high maintenance girlfriend, and his career was always going to suffer.

I'm missing it live while I pick up dd1 from football. Last I saw, Medvedev was still struggling with his shoulder.

And he wasn't with Serena very long , was he? I

It's all a bit murky, him and Serena. He's been dating Nicole Pussycat Doll this year, afaik!

He's crashing and burning in the second set - whatever they're putting on the other guy's shoulder is like magic fairy dust!

Ooh yes, Nicole , he definitely likes older women.

And Medvedev does seem to be working through the shoulder troubles now.

Oh my goodness. Dan Evans has tested positive for cocaine.

Oh dear. You'd think athletes would be more careful about what they put into their system especially when they can be randomly tested. John Lloyd sounds ver pissed off with him.

Jane John seemed really quite upset- I do think Dan has had a lot of chances, as he said . He's been the 'bad boy' of the GB team, who keeps turning it around a bit. But they do get tested all the time, not just when they are playing, they should know better.

Ahhh, the lovely Lopez.

Lovely Lopez indeed! Not so lovely Inverdale.

I'm just watching the highlights of Lopez/Berdych. Great match.

Missed all the tennis today, but I'm really happy to see Lopez in the final & I'd like him to win it.

I didn't see much yesterday, it was the village fair, and dd1 was in a football tournament.

I like both Cilic (more so when Goran was in his corner ) and Lopez, but would love to see Lopez win these. He looks lovely in his stripy top. He has played brilliantly so far.

Considering all the 'big' names are out- I really think this could be a great final. Aww, Cilic chatting to the girl leading him out.

I do like Cilic- he has a lovely smile.

Vamos Fele. Cilic was very smiley and having a great chat with the ball girl.

DH is watching F1 .. so going to see what I can on iplayer

F1 on in sitting room here too. I'm relegated to kitchen

we only have the one TV ...:)

Well, first set Cilic. Not quite as competitive as I thought. Bit quick, but Marin took his chances.

I'm glad to see so many people there today.

a bit one sided at the moment, for sure

Come on Lopez. It can't end so soon!

Ooh tie break

3 sets is good in a final.

Yaas

So the Foo Fighters finally finished then, about time.
