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!

That’s funny Lizzie

Can’t believe it’s raining at queens

I’ll have to carry on doing housework - boo!

Happened to be on FB and Deliciano doing the Fever Tree fastest serve (of G&T) popped up. He was slower than last year but he did try one afterwards. Boring Clean-living Djok would be having an apoplectic fit

Read that Dan Evans has said that he would play doubles at Wimbledon with Andy, if he asked him to. Apparently, Dick Kyrgios doesn't want told in case he does well in the singles. Lucky escape for us all, I think, including Andy. Not sure I could have supported him if he played with Dick

Oh well, I'm off to do clean the bathrooms in lieu of any tennis. The delights of housework, eh fizzy

to not told bloody phone

I saw Kyrgios was suggested as a doubles. That would have been a nightmare.

Here's hoping Dick loses on the first round at Wimbledon anyway.

Is there a sadder thing in tennis than umbrellas, covered courts and the voice of doom from Sue?

So many good matches to come - please stop raining.

AC’s hair is looking very flammable . Don’t turn your telly on yet kazza

Just checking in after cleaning the loos and before starting on the basins.

Thanks for the warning fizzy
Where's a box of matches when I need one

Is it still raining? Where's Cliff Richard when you need him?!

he shakes his socks out before loading - what a pro!

I need to show the males in our house that video

Cliff Richard coming on now would be the final straw Private

At least we’re finally getting to see the ward/Simon match

They’d better not put eggheads on if there is any actual play!

I just came on (in between my Doctors viewing) to point out they were showing Ward/Simon.

Fizzy

If play doesn't get going til late surely they won't stop the coverage at 6pm again?

They've given up on showing any tennis?!

Len Goodman??

I mean, at RG, we would at least have got Konta!

I’ve just watched Delpo doing his washing - he can come and live at my house anytime (well he can anyway!). Cook, wash, iron - sounds like my life!

They’ve taken the tennis off altogether now Raahh - Esther Rantzens best holiday ever with Len Goodman

Snap Raahh the bbc obviously want me to do more housework!

Not doing anymore housework today, unless enough washing gets dry to warrant getting the iron out.

I saw the last 10 mins of Ward/Simon. It looked good. Shame James couldn't pull it off after the problems he's had but hopefully he's done enough to receive a Wimbledon wildcard.

The tennis times keep being pushed back - now supposed to start at 4.30pm but I’m not convinced. I’m now doing the ironing.

The annoying thing is that I’m at work for the rest of the week - rubbish!

I wonder if Delpo is any good at cleaning doors. Mine are in a right state thanks to the dog.

Jane if he gets knocked out by Shapo then perhaps he could make himself useful by doing a bit of door cleaning? As long as it's not window cleaning - we know what they're like

So has there been no play at all at Queen's today??? Argh! I can't watch tomorrow either so none of this is any good!

It’s now saying 5.30pm for the matches to start Private - not good. At least my house is clean and my ironing is done but I wanted to watch tennis!

Aah no play! Well I haven’t been able to watch any yet so am just settling down to watch some of Cameron and Kevin. Behind the times, me!
Delpo is clearly a good man - a keeper as they say...

Play now cancelled today, apparently.

I wondered how long it would be before it would be called off

Damn it!

Well at least we've all got some cleaning done I suppose.

Boooo - just got home, was hoping to catch a bit of play!

Queen's tweeted earlier that this is only the third totally washed out day in 18 years. Not much consolation for the ticket holders though!

So Andy's not mucking about is he - he's playing doubles at Eastbourne with Marcelo Melo. I wonder if that's a practice run for Wimbledon - Melo's a really top doubles player isn't he....

Wonder who he'll play with @ Wimbledon?

Hope there will be some tennis later - rain has stopped here after an epic storm last night.

Had a really strange dream last night that I was in the queue for Wimbledon with Shagavalov's Dad (how did I know??) sharing a huge spliff!! Most odd.
