Tennis thread: Australian Open finals and beyond!

All tennis chat welcome here

*beginning

Eurovision is cancelled.

This is now very bad.

Oh I forgot you were a big Eurovision fan Raahh - they are reducing the number of Eastenders episodes shown - hope it doesn’t affect Doctors or God forbid Our Girl

Well, Doctors films 4 months ahead- and they have just shut down production, but should have enough episodes for a while. They always have an extended summer break- and this year it would have covered Wimbledon/Euros/Olympics. Most of which are likely to go ahead now, ironically.

The BBC schedules will be ok. They have a decade of Eggheads repeats to fill the airwaves.

And Mrs Brown's berluddy Boys!

I don't think I've ever seen Eggheads.

Led a v sheltered life, me!!

You aren't missing anything , magi.

Mrs Brown . Ugh. I would rather watch a Kyrgios match.

Maybe not. .

I would way rather watch Kyrgios - at least there is a chance of there being someone I like on the other side of the net!

magi

Hmm watching Kyrgios or Mrs Browns Boys - that’s a tough one!

Just been for a walk and listened to the Tennis Podcast - feel better for that. Spidey I thought it was funny that they were saying that some balding tennis players might return after the break with full heads of hair (not sure who they could mean )

I know Fizzy it was such a random thing to mention! Unless they know something we don't!!

To go back completely on what I said earlier when I was in denial I can't see Wimbledon happening this year can anyone else? Not that things may not have improved by July (hopefully), but more how will they be able to get everything ready in time with social distancing/isolation etc between now and then?

Everything is just so surreal right now.

I've just read that the clay season is definitely off.

It's like the equivalent of cancelling the run up to Christmas .

it is. I don't know what to say Raahh.

I did notice the pointed joint statement from the tours and slams (minus RG) about how they need to act unilaterally etc!

No tennis, no Gaelic, no Eurovision, I might have to take up an activity of course it'll have to be a solo occupation. Maybe I'll get DS's keyboard out and learn to play that.

Hope you're all ok.

Well, I hope we'll all continue to caht here - I need places like this atm.

Shall we think about what we are going to call the next thread as we've only got about 10 posts left in this one?

Here we are No Tennis? You can not be serious! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/3853582-no-tennis-you-can-not-be-serious

Brilliant, Jane.

Off there to join up!!

Perfect Jane!

Are you going to race me to fill this one up, Private?

I might even compose next year's Irish Eurovision entry on the keyboard a la Father Ted.

do it Jane! Snazzy blazer and bow tie a must

Come on then magi ...

One more to go!...
