Tennis thread: Wimbledon chat this way!

Happy Wimbledon Eve* everyone!

With thanks to magi*

I wonder if Jonny Mac spends the whole time trying not to cave Andrew Castle's head in with a shovel

I am not impressed with today, I have to say. It started well, with Stan. Coco was amazing. But the rest of those upset results were not good

Well, Stan is now my big hope from that half of the draw. He's now my new Rafa back up .

Oh they are showing Sascha again

Mischa lost as well today - he has had a bad run lately.

Yep Raahh it looks like we'll have to rely on Stan as a back up - come on Stan!!

hobnob he wouldn't be human if he didn't feel like that
I feel like that all the time and I'm not having to sit right next to him in a confined space

Oh, Sascha is in Stella as well. His top isn't as nice as Stef's was though. I think it's the red stripes.

Just catching up with you all. No that was not me in the Bjorg costume on court 2

After the Taitsipas / Fabbiano match - which was the excellent - we managed to get some tickets for centre court and so watched the second 2 sets of Kyle. He did well, but atmosphere was a little staid. So many empty seats which was disappointing.

Tim

He's a wag Jane

I think Sascha looked a bit unwell today. Hope he gets his staff problem sorted soon. I think it's taking its toll on him.

How can the women's number 1 seed, and world number 1, Ash Barty, be scheduled on Court 1- in favour of Serena on CC.

It really isn't right.

Not a fan kazza?

Jane I didn't realise actually about the court case with his ex-agent. I've a feeling it really is affecting him. Even before the match, Mac and Friends were saying that he might be affected by it.

How did Sasha get away with the red stripes?

impossible that's what I was wondering - have that relaxed the rule??

I think they are allowed a certain amount of colour on the kit, along with the logo- so long as it's not advertising anything.

The other year, Fed however had to sort out his shoes because the sole was very obviously 'nike orange' at the time - and it contravened the rules on what they can have on show.

I was more that Stefanos (not that I was looking that closely)seemed to be wearing dark pants under his white shorts.

Players have been told to change in the past for that.

Sascha's must have been ok, because before the Wozniacki match, her opponent had to change due to the logo on her top.

Actually, I do like him Jane . He can be very droll at times and isn't afraid to put AC in place.

Yes Raahh it has to be stressful because he can't sort anything until they get closure. I feel sorry for him.

I think Sascha should go to Yorkshire for a nice break.

Yes, he'd get good welcome in Yorkshire. Someone would probably offer to do his laundry for him.

Fizzy would

He definitely needs a holiday.

He can take Grigor with him- share the chores.

Poor Stefanos is very down too.

Jane - as long as he puts it in the laundry basket - that’s all I ask! (Not that anyone takes any notice of me!)
