Tennis thread: Wimbledon chat this way!

Happy Wimbledon Eve* everyone!

With thanks to magi*

Did Stan ever answer the Instagram questions? One of the questions was a picture of the famous checked shorts with the question “why?”

Fairly straightforward for Stan there!

Glad you arrived Majestic - have a great time.

I don't think he did Fizzy

And Feli has also won.

Quite a winning streak he's putting together...

Keys is through on the women's side - someone else who was playing on an outside court. As is Raonic - a bit harsh on the former finalist...

Private I was thinking the same, about Kevin playing PHH on Court 3.

Now, do I stick to watching Halep, or watch Djok.

Now Halep's opponent has had to get changed due to the logo on her shirt. You'd think she would have known the rules before hand.

Yes I've only just realised he was out there Raahh - just saw the end. And against Andy's doubles partner no less!

I apologise to Kevin for dismissing his chances out of hand before the tournament - thought today would've been much closer than that.

This is why I love Wimbledon, I'm spoilt for choice.

Felix AA is playing.

Pospisil! I had forgotten about him. I liked it when he played doubles with Sock.

PopSock.

Well, I'm pissed off with PHH for dumping Mahut to concentrate on his singles- much good it did him.
At least Mahut found a new partner.
And after the performance he put on, I wouldn't be getting too excited if I was Murray. Might be the last time he gets on a show court .

Lopez, of course, on the other hand played very well.

Maybe that was the idea- pick someone who wasn't likely to go deep into the singles draw. In case they end up playing 2 matches in one day.

Afternoon all! Had a v busy weekend watching 15 DS sailing in the Round the Island Race on Saturday. His boat won 2 trophies and the other school boat won one, so had to nip over to Cowes for the trophy presentation yesterday. They so deserved it - they were on the water for 16 hours (the actual race took 13 hours).

Now trying to catch up with all things tennis

Watched the 2018 review programme last night. As soon as I saw AC's ugly mug appear on screen, I fast forwarded. Even DH, who happened to be in the room at the time, queried what possible useful input the twit could offer?

Also noticed the cabbage white

Glad you got to see some of Stan majestic . Have a fab day!

kazza well done to your ds! That sounds amazing. Good weather for it too.

That sounds brilliant kazza - 13 hours sounds like a real endurance feat! Well done your DS.

I've just seen PHH's loss described as "massive boost to Murray title hopes"

Thanks. We're so proud of them. Crews aged between about 13-16 yrs old. Out of over 1200 boats, only 283 finished!

Blimey, Heather Watson won in straight sets!

Private eh??! Unless PHH plays a lot better than he appeared to do today, they will be lucky to get through a match.

Ugh. I just turned over to see Djok win the set.

Started so well with Phil breaking his serve!

Well done to your DS kazza. You might want to put a bid in for Rafa's yacht.

Raahh I know, it's so weird. I suppose they mean PHH will now be able to concentrate on doubles - bit of a skewed way of looking at it!

Ah Djok. He gave us false hope for one game!

Ernests is in a mammoth tiebreak, 10-11 ATM. He lost the first set 6-1.

Rafa third on court 1 tomorrow..

Argh he lost it, 14-12!

Come on Ernests - thrilling comeback please. We need you to beat Djok in round 3.

Oh, Gulbis!

3rd on tomorrow is good, as I have to go out at 3-4pm, so will hopefully get to watch it. But court 1?

So first, they seed him 3rd, then he gets a shit draw, then he plays his first match on 1.

I see Serena and Fed are on CC. No surprises there then -.

I heard Sue Voice of Doom, saying earlier there should be no complaints anymore, now Court 1 is so amazing.

But I bet my first born, after his loss to Anderson last year on Crt 1, they won't put Fed anywhere other than CC.

Halep doesn't make life easy for herself, does she . She's involved in a topsy turvy match at the moment.

I think Halep had the trainer on Raahh - not sure what happened.

Yeah whatevs Sue - No1 is not the same. Roof or not.

Private exactly. The players know the difference, and there is one.

I tell you, when they put Fed's next 3 matches on 1, then you can tell me there's no difference.

I hope Halep is ok.

Pospisil was doing really well, and now he's on the floor getting his leg looked at .

I see my favourite Norwegian player is playing Isner tomorrow. .

C'mon Casper!
