TENNIS THREAD -Sliding in the clay, on the journey to Roland Garros !

[Raahh]

Just had a slight panic when I saw the thread was nearly full.

I am now off to check the schedule properly- to see what I'll miss today

My FS has just wandered into the kitchen asking whether his omelette is ready - didn't tell him I've been researching women's tennis rankings

That boy needs to become more self-sufficient

I don't know what an FS is I meant DS!

magi yes I love Kvitova. Really hope she can win another Slam.

FS

Jane that's what I said when he asked about the omelette

Here's the order of play for the Wimbledon Court One event this afternoon.

Gentlemen’s Doubles

Jamie Murray (GBR) & Goran Ivanisevic (CRO) v Lleyton Hewitt (AUS) & Pat Cash (AUS)

Ladies’ Singles

Venus Williams (USA) v Kim Clijsters (BEL)

Mixed Doubles

Martina Navratilova (USA) & Jamie Murray (GBR) v Kim Clijsters (BEL) & John McEnroe (USA)

Private - Teach FS DS to cook. I taught my DS & he's always said it was wonderful & really impressed the women!!

Can't wait to see Martina and Mac.

I love this song

Only Tim would admit to having a selective memory

Just tuned in - Sue mentioning the Goran semi final

I thought that checked headband wasn't allowed any more - maybe they've relaxed the rules a bit for today?!

"Who invited him?"

Why not Private? Did the Chef's association complain or something?

Because they changed the rule from "predominantly white" to completely white - maybe that relented?

Ha Jamie will be no comment on that I reckon!

I suppose it's iconic so they allow it.

I'd love the Murray brothers playing doubles.

Oh dear

AC is made to commentate on this kind of match. It's right up his street.

The court looks great.

AC has mentioned the new seats "soft and squashy"

He kept mentioning them at Queen's last year as well, remember?!

The umpire is a real comedian

Maybe AC has piles Private

Ball boy is good

I’m recording this but did see the bit where Tim was saying who invited him about Goran and claiming he couldn’t remember that match

I love it how we can always rely on AC for useless information

The court did look great - can’t wait for Wimbledon now.

Lleyton still has such power in his serve.

Mac's interviewing - wonder if he'll mention ice baths?!

I might switch to the "real" tennis now
