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!

Private funny, isn't it? same age as Stan. But no-one goes on about his age, in the same way they do about other players.

No... I wonder why. I guess the toddler look has everyone fooled

Is anyone else getting the Roger Federer Uniqlo advert on this thread or is it just me?

Raahh I have already thought about Sue and the voice of doom and Kyrgios being added to the “list of doom”.

Looking at it objectively Rafa is world number 2 so shouldn’t really have any problems against Kyrgios. Hopefully everything will be Ok. I might need to get my hoody out though.

I can’t believe that Isner is 34 - the toddler look definitely fooled me

I don't get the ad as I have ad blocker.

kazza - I so agree with you re Kyle & I thought it before he lost to Fritz.

What a little tosser he (Kyle) is & how I dislike his cheap imitation of 'toile de jouy' shirt.

I am in suitable old & grumpy mood ready for Wimbledon.

I think the list of who I don't want to win is longer than than who I do want to win. (applies to both the men & women).

Just caught up on the thread. Getting excited for Wimbledon now. Who needs Christmas?

This was Kyrgios' comment when Sascha posted the Laver cup photo on Instagram. Twit.

Twit indeed Jane

I’ve just had a look at the picture - poor Dominic looks terrified!

I think Roger has got his hand on Domi 's knee

imagine being in that restaurant when they a walked in

When they all walked I FFS!! Argh!

I give up

Coincidentally, my photographic offering from the ATP site on FB this morning was of ...Isner - sitting on a court with his 9 month old daughter, who looked distinctly unimpressed.

He claims to be 'very, very dangerous'.

The word I would use John, is boring. But, whatever . .

No Sam we can do without Serena, it's fine.

I still have flashbacks to that semi final. Dangerous it was not.

I see Coric is out. He was in... Roger's section.

I want to steal Anne's wardrobe.

Am looking forward to this match (Kerber-Pliskova). Should be good.

I love Kerber.

That little boy was so cute

Poor Coric. But I see Berrettini will be in that section now and he should do well.

I love her as well Jane. She just seems like a nice, genuine person. But also I love the way she plays - there's just something really watchable about it.

not many left in Fed's section really.

Maybe Berrettini can do a Chickenato. You never know.

Come on Angie!

Hmm, I was expecting Angie to boss this, I must say. Pliskova is playing really well.

Well that was disappointing.

It was, wasn't it? Angie wasn't really in it at all. What a shame, was expecting a battle.
