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

Before we run out .

By be Wimbledon

[JaneJeffer]

kazza like the cabbage white in the poem he will never now, it is too late

[PrivateIsles]

I noticed Boris and his kiss to the camera - loved it

Ah the cabbage white! There was a butterfly in our kitchen today but it was a red one (Red admiral? AC would know)

[GrouchyKiwi]

I love F1 and I love Lewis. It must be hard and weird to be the only representative of your race in such a massive sport (and he's treated that way). I have a lot of time for him.

Sport in general is indeed a weird concept.

I too loved playing netball Raahh. If my body was capable of running about I'd find a team here.

[The80sweregreat]

Grouchy , I'm pleased you like Lewis! Your a rare breed as most people don't.

[Steala]

What a void in my life. I'm reading the thread to feel normal again.

[GrouchyKiwi]

80s I don't understand why people don't like him. He's a brilliant driver/racer, he's articulate, handsome, really lovely with children, and best of all he races hard but fair. No cheating. Maybe they prefer a bad guy.

[JaneJeffer]

To brighten up your day

[Raahh]

Bed head to go with his dad bod

[JaneJeffer]

Ssh don't tell him why.

[Raahh]

That's brilliant , Jane

[PrivateIsles]

that sniffer dog knew what he was doing.

[PrivateIsles]

Love the picture of Stan btw - of course!

[Fizzywinegum]

Hee hee that grass certainly did have extra flavour

Love the Stan picture - what sort of session does he mean? Could be anything knowing Stan

Watched TAW - Clare’s jacket

[GrouchyKiwi]

Haha about the grass!

That's a good picture of Stan.

[JaneJeffer]

I want to go on the sesh with Stan

[Raahh]

I've have just seen a scary picture on FB posted by the ATP of a group of players mocked up to look old.

I can't get a link to work- but it was quite unnerving. . Took me a while to recognise Thiem .

[Raahh]

(Couple of things stand out about the picture- but it fits the ATP's pro Fed agenda- the picture of Fed doesn't look that different, and there's no Rafa.).

[JaneJeffer]

I saw those Raahh. I was quite relieved they left Rafa out of it!

[Raahh]

Jane you are probably right. Can't imagine what they might have done to him!

[JaneJeffer]

Oh no they've done him now! Aargh!

[Raahh]

He came off lightly compared to Cilic!

[JaneJeffer]

[Raahh]

And Kevin!

[Raahh]

[PrivateIsles]

I was just coming over here to post that!!

My eyes!!

It should have been prefixed with: "Don't have nightmares" shudder.
