Tennis Thread: the grass court season is here! Who will rule Birmingham? Be the King of Queen's? All your Wimbledon build-up chat this way!...

[PrivateIsles]

Best few weeks of the year starts here!

kazza yes, we will just ignore that one

Yes private and Felix is 6 years younger than Dick, not that you'd know that

I think the percentage of teenagers watching will now go up by 50%.

Yes Felix looks v coordinated even in the Nike stuff. I'm a fan.

I agree the orange top/shoes is a better look than the flowers/skeleton.

To be fair Raahh it is a VERY low bar

kazza

Jeez, enough of Dick, even if you are using him as a bad example.

Is it me or are Stefanos' shorts quite, well, short

Oh, I see Felix does have the bees on his shorts

kazza I will admit to noticing his shorts, due to his tan lines, because he must have been wearing longer ones at some point- the tops of his thighs are quite white.

I was concentrating on the tennis for the most part, honest.

I like the bees. A lot of the women wore the bee version as a dress/top/skirt which looked good.

(I'm assuming it's a natural tan, and not a spray job).

I've had to go out so I'm going to miss the rest of this one

How is Felix going to get all these matches played today?!

I see that Simon has won the first set on a tiebreak vs Mahut.

Wow! Slightly against the run of play. Stefanos always seemed to have the edge, although close.

This tournament is not good for my health. Having Fever Tree signs continually shoved in front of me is making me thirsty for a pre-dinner G&T Too early?

kazza we've just had their grapefruit tonic, it was v v nice.

You can have one to celebrate midsummer kazza

I'm on the school run/ trip to the summer fair.

The scores look like Stef is not having a great time.
But he looked less confident in his second match yesterday.

I'm hoping to win some free alcohol on the bottle tombola.

Over the years the quality of prizes has diminished. One year I won a toy duck. On the bottle tombola.

false advertising Raahh

Tell me about it! I was not happy.

Meanwhile over in Halle, Goffin/Sascha are in go over in a topsy turvy match.

I think that was meant to say 'involved '.

Stupid phone.

Private I do like pink grapefruit. Do you have it as is or with something else?

Jane don't tempt me

Raahh happy alcohol bargain hunting
