TENNIS THREAD- Grass season is in full swing, stock up on strawberries and Pimms!

[Raahh]

at magi's request here is the first grass thread ( we will probably need more than one!).

Can't believe it time for Queen's again. Hope the weather holds out- bit gloomy in the north west.

( can't link to other thread as on my phone).

See you all later- the only thing I'm not looking forward to is the likelihood it will be Mr Castle in the commentary box.

Cilic is playing very well . I do like watching Cilic. I hope he has another good run at Wimbledon.

Fun bit of archive footage of Mac ranting.

Ah I missed that. Roger has taken the first set tie-break against Ebden.

Aww, they have just given an award to Jimmy (the referee Mac was ranting at)for 40 years service- and he said his dream match would be to see Edberg and McEnroe. Good man. I'm glad he didn't say Murray, just because Inverdale was there.

I just switched back and caught that. He seems a real character.

Bugger. But i'm glad Roger is being pushed a bit. I read that he said the match yesterday was exciting. I bet he didn't really think that- I bet he really wanted to win it easily .

They have just shown a clip of bloody Kyrgios- he reminds me of my 15 year old and his mates- sat there in the interview with his hoodie up. Ignorant sod.

They are giving far too much air time to Kyrgios.

There are two players in this match- I really hope Lopez wipes him off the court.

He's looking lovely today , is Lopez

Vamos Deliciano. He's so pretty!

Roger looks in great shape.

Ha ha cross post

Finally some Feli!

I night have to watch this with the sound off.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could mute the commentary.

AC is an idiot. Why would a Spanish restaurant give you free prosecco. ? You loon.

Federer is through.

Pfft. Ebden had chances in that second set too- as he had a break of serve.

Ahh well.

I may have just re-wound that shot of Feli towelling down

Just checking that the towels are fluffy enough Private?

.

Not content with the waffling AC, the BBC are showing shots of his wife and daughter in the crowd aswell. Did they pay for their seats?

kazza that is a good question...

Well feck it!

I got distracted during the tiebreak by some World Cup shenanigans on the kitchen TV. Bit of ructions with the referee.

Wow some sweet serve and volley there 💕
