TENNIS thread - We wave goodbye to SW19, and look forward to the hardcourt season.

[Raahh]

Before we run out .

By be Wimbledon

Yes Raahh I blame the grandparents for rubbish records

Shaggy against Thiem next - I might need to go to bed though.

I think Rafa might have wrapped that up a bit quicker, if the rain hadn't happened the second time.

But I'm relieved he won.

I still remember a postcard from my Grandparents which had a flamenco dancer with a proper material flamenco dress on it - I thought it was very exotic and my Grandad playing and sing E viva espana - nice memories

I need to go to bed.

But I am quite interested in the dj's set list.

I mean- Austrian pop stars? Conchita Wurst?? Falco?

He will run out quite soon.

A few years back, my sister bought dd1 a flamenco dress and shoes from one of her many holidays. It was her favourite present that Christmas . She used to wear it to bed . Not the shoes.

Domi looks very serious.

He has admitted he has a truly shit record at this tournament.

I think I’m becoming a bit over invested in the DJs set list too - he might have peaked too early!

ooh- and Cilic got through.

At least there's quite a few Canadian music acts to go at

Gasquet has won against Nishikori in a third set tiebreak - I think I actually saw Keith swear

I’m definitely going to bed now.

Allez Richard! I only saw the start of the third set.

Enjoyed your Spain chat Fizzy and Raahh

Just seen that Stan and Stefanos are out. And Thiem has finally won a match in Montreal .

Gone quiet on the doubles front - now that Murray has lost .

Stan was playing Kazza Khachanov wasn't he? Tough draw for him.

Not sure about Tsitsipas... He hasn't been having great results lately.

Oops meant to delete the Kazza bit as I thought it might be too cheeky

I may have to delete my account and start over so if a very annoying new poster appears it’s only me. I don’t want to name change I think my DM is running the MN tech section or someone who has the same skill set when it comes to IT.

Wish I could see that DJ in action. I imagine he looks like Ray Von from Phoenix Nights

Oh Jane I don't want you to name change either!! (Even though I did)
You'd have to be JaneJeffer1 or something! Anyway can we still call you Jane?!

Jane as a "new" poster you could troll us with love of Kyrgios and AC or something

Actually if you did that surely we'd probably be onto you straight away

Jane, you'll have to drop us hints (or a pm) when you return under a different name.

Jane if you continue discussing butterflies , we will know it's you. .

I would love to meet the DJ. . He has a great gig. I bet he hopes the rain keeps off though. He must have exhausted his playlist.

Not sure if Stef has become a victim of his own hype- the big win over Roger, followed by a tennis lesson from Rafa in Melbourne. He's had some good wins- and some surprising losses. And has aligned himself with Dick .

Hopefully it's just a blip. He can afford a blip , early on.

I'm back bitches MN figured it out.

Welcome back Jane

It's the beard private
It makes it very difficult to tell us apart.
Although obviously, I probably wouldn't be able to beat Stan on a tennis court

kazza I reckon you could beat Stan with one hand tied behind your back - he's such a wimpy

Anyway it should be "Hazza" Khachanov shouldn't it? Which sounds wrong.

Wow. Rafa and Fed have joined the ATP player council
