Nice to see Halep listened to me. Grin.

Raahh · 28/05/2019 18:35

Ok, enough.

I keep seeing (on the app) and hearing matches described as 'popcorn matches'. Just stop it. It sounds really naff.

I'm getting old and grumpy.

JaneJeffer · 28/05/2019 18:45

That sounds like a Courierism Grin

Well done Simona.

It looks lovely there on Inverdale's guided tour. Nice place to spend an evening.

Raahh · 28/05/2019 18:57

It is very Jim, isn't it?

Monfils is not finishing his match tonight, I don't think.

I'd love to go to RG. Looks lovely. Beige uncomfy looking wooden seats and all Grin.

Have they binned off the jazz players- they always seemed to be underneath where Inverdale was based. Unless they have moved (Inverdale that is- not the jazz players).

Raahh · 28/05/2019 19:21

Although- after a 6-0 first set, it might finish after all!

JaneJeffer · 28/05/2019 19:49

Daniel is doing better in this set. Looks like he's overheating though Grin

I see Mannarino is still playing as well.

Raahh · 28/05/2019 20:04

Mannarino often seems to be one who ends up playing long matches into the evenings!

kazzaD66 · 28/05/2019 20:43

Can't believe Monfils finished his match tonight, although the scoreline suggests he clearly wasn't in the mood to come back tomorrow Smile

JaneJeffer · 28/05/2019 20:49

Sascha and Yorkshire Man Grin

Raahh · 28/05/2019 20:54

Monfils is a funny one.

If he had played earlier, the score line might have been a more Gallic leisurely one. Grin

Fizzywinegum · 28/05/2019 21:40

Looked like a pretty emphatic win for Monfils.

Have Sascha and Yorkshireman been reunited Jane? I bet he has more fun with sascha than he did with serena!

There are some good matches tomorrow - does it seem like most of the top players are playing on the same day? (When I won’t be able to watch Sad). They’re usually a bit more spread out.

JaneJeffer · 28/05/2019 21:47

Sascha said he will go to Yorkshire if he wins RG Grin

Fizzywinegum · 28/05/2019 21:50

Yay (I’m a Yorkshire woman) - he can stay at our house Grin

JaneJeffer · 28/05/2019 21:57

I think you should get in touch and let him know Grin

Fizzywinegum · 28/05/2019 22:03

He might not understand me though Grin

Waddya bet me ITV show Jo Konta instead of Federere or Rafa?

Raahh · 29/05/2019 09:08

Magi wouldn't surprise me if ITV showed anyone other than Rafa.
Even a repeat of Kyle's interview on a loop for an hour. Hmm.

They wouldn't dare not show Federer though. More than their jobs are worth. Grin. I mean, don't you realise, that's the only reason any of the spectators are there? Wink. They changed the seats , just for him (he didn't like green, it's why he stayed away).*

  • I might have made that last bit up.

**Sounds entirely plausible.

Raahh · 29/05/2019 10:02

Ooh, Nishikori is playing Tsonga.

I'm looking forward to that, if only to see his Bertie Bassett top Grin. It could also be potentially a lengthy one- which might also delay Federer for a while.
Dimitrov is playing Cilic- it won't be shown, clashes with Federer. I wish I wish it was. Neither have had a great year, it could be a real fighting match - both have a lot to prove. My money is (just) on Cilic . But only just!

Raahh · 29/05/2019 10:50

I like Sloane Stephens' white version of the bee top.

I'm quite obsessed by the nike outfits now.

Garbine has won her first set quite speedily - so Rafa ought to be playing soon -ish. Hopefully.

JaneJeffer · 29/05/2019 11:22

I'm learning so much useless information from John Inverdale Grin

Raahh · 29/05/2019 11:25

Useless and inverdale definitely belong in the same sentence, Jane Grin

Oh, lovely Carlos.

Raahh · 29/05/2019 11:30

I've decided I'd quite like a bee top. Would be appropriate for Manchester. Grin. Not that I'm remotely sporty. I'm an armchair spectator only.

Maybe I'll get one for walking the dog.

JaneJeffer · 29/05/2019 11:34

You'll look the bees knees walking your dog Grin

They don't seem to think much of this Yannick's chances!

Raahh · 29/05/2019 11:37

And we are off.
