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!

I can't be arsed to tune back to Amazon. It should be on bbc2 soon though right?!....

Hopefully they can get a couple of commentators of the subs bench in time...

Murray montage alert

Diego is so cute! Poor Marin.

Blimey, Marin is going to be gutted by that. On grass, defending champ, only lost once to Diego before. Hoping Ferreira can help him turn things around.

But yes Diego is lovely.

My eyes! What is Edmund wearing?

Today Kyle has gone for the skeleton version of the nike top. I'm sure he was wearing the floral version yesterday!

Sticking with the bee shorts though, by the look of things.

Ooh, lovely Stefanos is through.

Sue, voice of Doom, can't even be bothered to name the top seeded doubles pair.

Sue admires him

I hate you AC. Box office off.

Although at least Stefanos deserves the description.

I'm sure she does.

I love Vuk

Who is this brat boy?

Vuk could replace AC

I find him funny Jane

Just turned on and missed the end of the Stefanos match, although saw the interview after. Had to lower the volume and leave the room when AC came on, spouting forth. Would rather go and do the dusting.

See Simon beat Anderson.

Once I've flicked the duster around, I'll settle down for Stan vs Mahut. Should hopefully be a good one

So, when describing Mahut. Peter sneeringly says he is 'getting on' at 36/37

How old is Federer again? I thought age wasn't an issue?

Oh, sad about Kevin. I like Kevin. And his tiny dog.

Mahut is always great to watch.
I want Stan to win, but hope it's a good one.

Yes this should be good - love both of them.

Stan has been tweeting bear emojis again. I think he reads this thread

Now Mahut is a player who looks a lot shorter (to me) than he actually is.

He is 6ft 3- but I always think he is a lot shorter than that!

Come and chat Stan, magi has a lot to say to you

Mahut is never 6ft 3" - does he wear platform trainers?
