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?

The other thing I wish they would do is, on that first screen where it shows all the different matches that are in play, to have the current score there so you can see if it's a good time to tune in or not. I just clicked on Gauff-Sakkari and it's only in the second game. So I will come back to it but will watch a bit of something else first.

Or am I just looking for things to complain about?!

The fact Benoit's mask doesn't cover his beard, makes it seem a little pointless to me. . Dh gave his beard a 'covid trim' so it would fit under a mask.

I am also disappointed it a boring medical looking blue mask, and not something snazzy that matches his kit, with a lacoste logo .

Private

So far, Benoit is not doing as well as his BFF, Stan . Coric looks like he might run away with this. Paire might be injured though.

Eek, first set Coric 6-0.

DH has just told me to stop moaning about everything

I agree Spidey - they should give a little score update - every time I click onto a match it’s just finished!

It was funny when Benoit’s mask didn’t cover his beard - I’m not sure if he’s injured or not bothered!

Well, he's retired from the match.

He's an odd fish, with fabulous facial hair and dress sense. But he does blow hot and cold as a player!

Oh poor Benoit - it seems like a lot of effort travelling all that way and then staying in the bubble to then retire in his first match

It means I can watch something with commentary now though.. But it's not going well for Gauff so far. Sakkari is not a bad player- wasn't she (briefly) coached by Petchey?

Yikes. I hope he's ok. Bit of a nightmare being injured in the first match/tournament back.

Am still watching Gauff-Sakkari!

Fizzy doesn't it though?

Now I remember why I don't like commentary (I'm joining in the moaningnow).

Tad biased, the commentary in the Sakkari/Gauff match- especially since Maria is winning! I get she is their new 'star' but come on.

Robbie Koenig is commentating on the Edmund/Anderson match - sometimes no commentary is good!

He did say that the DJ is good but he’s moved to a different court - like a DJ at large

Just had a look in on the Kyle/Kevin match- Nike do hate Kyle, don't they? It's like he's spilt a bottle of ink over his leg.

DJ at Large.

I still haven't worked out what Fed's actual role on the ATP council entails. But it does sound fun. With his side kick Secret Squirrel Rafa.

I think they probably just have coffee together and bitch about Djokovic

Fizzy that's what I like to think they do!

The DJ is near the Gauff match .

The umpire in the Edmunds/Anderson match has brought his own pencil case

I’m assuming they’re now playing a normal tiebreak? I get confused with all the different versions of tennis now

Yes Kyle’s outfit is pretty rubbish - no wonder he always looks fed up! He also seems to be wearing odd shoes! And he’s just lost the first set on a breaker - grrr!

just typed out a long post but then my phone went flat in the middle of it. It was probably pointless wittering anyway.

My iPad keeps telling me I have low bandwidth again

Rude

I'm still watching Sakkari v Gauff. Although it keeps freezing (probably the bandwidth issue).

FFS. Now I have sound, and no picture!

It went off at match point!

Same! It seems to have finished now...
