Happy Wimbledon Eve* everyone!

With thanks to magi*

Thiem is out now

Harris has set point against Roger and has just taken the first set!

On the school run. I've just seen Dom lost. The first 2 sets were so close. Don't know what happened.

And Fed has lost his first set.

X post!

Now watching my other favourite boy Tsonga...

Catching up with some scores.

Dick vs 'tache.....wtf happened with the last two sets? And obviously the wrong result

Jo-Wilfred better beat Tomic!

Happy for Baghdatis.

Shame, James Ward lost 8-6 in the 5th.

Wow, Thiem lost the 4th set to love and is out. And Fed has lost the first set.

Lots of x posts
The website crashed on me half way through posting

Hells Bells. Tsonga won the first set in 18 minutes!! Apparently that's one of the fastest set wins ever!

I like Tsonga a lot more than I like Kyrgios Elderflower - I hope he does well - I’m not a Tomic fan.

I think Sue will cry if Roger loses

I like Tsonga for his play and for his lovely name.... For obvious reasons!! (ds2) 😁

I had to do stuff and missed the end. Disappointing result. I had a bit of panic when the site crashed wondering who I'm going to rave about the tennis to.

Can't believe Domi is gone as well

Me too Jane - I felt all alone

The commentators are furious with Tomic...

Federer won a set in 16 minutes... The commentators are saying that if an official was.watching they would have Tomic up for not best effort!

That was a quick set from Roger.

What’s he doing Elderflower? He can be a bit Kyrgios like can’t he?

Sue sounds very relieved that normal Roger service has resumed.

She does Fizzy

I don't like Tomic. He can be as toxic as Dick, just with less talent. Why are the commentators getting annoyed if he's tanking it, when they don't seem to have much of a problem when Dick does it?

kazza I was about to type the same thing and my mother rang me. Kyrgios deliberately throws a set, and it's 'just what he does'. Tomic does it, and he's the devil personified. Where's his dad these days? .

I've never been a Tomic fan- he is another who gives the Australian players a bad name. Because there are some nice ones .

Good win for Norrie.

Why is Shriekapova on No2 Court when, for example, Muguruza is on Court 3?
Is it because she's "box office" aswell (or are they just trying to contain the noise level?)

Tomic just isn't trying. He's yawning.... 🤔 John Lloyd's just said you get a better game of tennis in the park...

Well done Norrie.

Gahhh!

Lloyd is saying Tomic is being disrespectful- yet I know he would not be saying the same had he watched the Kyrgios match.

It's making my blood pressure rise.

Just switched over to see Harris- he's got nice hair.

At least he can say he took a set off Fed, and should Fed win the tournament, it won't be without dropping a set .

kazza that's what I thought re those court assignments too - shocking imo.

Hope Tsonga wins. We all need more Tsonga in our lives if you ask me!

Did Baghdatis win? That's one positive from the day so far if so.

Gutted about Thiem, that was a tough draw for him. I know he's never his best on grass but if he'd drawn some non-big server he would have had much more chance of progress. That's just a bad match up.

Speaking of big hitters, I see The Berd has just taken to the court against Fritz. Tomas has already said it could be his last Wimbledon, and that's another tough first round. Why are all the wrong people getting the tough match ups???

Fizzy when I saw the second set result from Federer's match, I also thought "normal service has been resumed"

I think tennis commentary has infiltrated our brains
