Tennis - 2020- As Wimbledon-that-Wasn't draws to a close, we look forward to ... maybe ... tennis in August?

[Raahh]

Or just more wheelie bin challenges?

getting a Struffing has to be my favourite recurring phase on the tennis threads

Jane it never gets old

Just checked in on Watson's match- she lost the first set 6-1, but has just won the second.

I have to say, I am finding it hard to stop my concentration from wandering. The lack of atmosphere really does make a difference. I wonder how that will affect the bigger names? (some of the lower ranked players will be used to playing challengers with smaller crowds).

Not necessarily non existent crowds though!

From my search history, is is clear tennis is back.

I have googled 'time in New York' about half a dozen times already. memory of a fish

I should put the time zones on a post-it and stick it to my laptop.

Struff is through.

And I have just switched to the Felix AA match, which has ended- that had commentary it seems.

Not seen any tennis yet - I’ve been banished from the front room as cricket is on soon to be followed by an evening of boxing

Just trying to log into Prime on my laptop - when I saw that Struff was playing I immediately thought is someone getting a Struffing today . I’m surprised he doesn’t go further in tournaments as he always seems to be Struffing someone

Maybe the commentators forgot they were meant to be there- the Mladenovic match has commentary now- it didn't earlier.

He's made a pretty solid career for himself Fuzzy has Struff, from beating some big names in the early rounds.

Oh- I've got music too now.

'Since you've been gone'- Kelly Clarkson. .

I’m not having much luck with Amazon Prime

Paire/Coric is on very soon. That could be fun- I hope there is commentary though- I know we complain about the butterfly fancier and some of his equally annoying mates, but the combination of no crowd and no commentary was deafening.

Fizzy mine keeps going on and off. It doesn't bode well for the US open at this rate!

Norrie is about to start against Opelka- who is wearing the ubiquitous uniform of the very tall toddler North Americans- stripy t-shirt, backwards cap. Looks daft.

Oh, he has just turned his cap around. Maybe he heard me.

Arghh! After months of having nothing to watch- now there are lots of matches about to clash. Anderson is playing our favourite bench Kyle.

I do not like Kyle's t-shirt.

Just turned on to see Evans and Goffin win in straight sets.

Now checking Watson. She was a break up in the third set but I think they keep being broken She's now serving at 3-4 down.

Edmund, Norrie and Joe Salisbury are all meant to be on shortly I think. Andy is meant to be on about 7.15pm.....according to Prime

X post

Benoit is looking fabulous.

Collar turned up. Lush beard.

Can't tell at this point if there is commentary.

There's music though.

My Prime is driving me nuts - it’s like watching everything in slow motion!

Might check out Benoit’s magnificent beard if I can do it in the next hour

Heather lost.

I find Kyle's shorts very distracting. It just looks like he's got strange strapping over the right leg. What's wrong with plain turquoise?

I'm already fed up with the stupid baby face on the advertising hoardings.

Murray is 3rd his court- two women's matches first
Oh right yes I see now I was looking at it as in his match was first in that row, but you have to look down the columns to get the order. Which seems wrong to me.

If you know what I mean

I am sad there is no commentary on this match. Benoit as already had a bit of a chunner about something- and we are only in the second game .

YY - the baby on the advertising is creepy!

Wow Benoit’s beard is something else - not sure about the bleached highlights though!

The baby face thing was annoying me as well kazza

I’ve given up for now - there’s too much tennis and flicking between the matches was taking too long. From the bits I saw it did look pretty weird - I didn’t even get to hear any music

Might watch a bit of Murray later.

Murray should be on after Coco Gauff- who is playing now.

They have commentary. S'not fair.

Paire seems to have called the physio. Now everyone has masks on. There is much mumbling.
