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?

Tim's got a bit of a tan

Was there a screen between Tim and Petch? They looked like they were trying not to giggle at each other.

You have to spoil it Raahh

The prat hadn't even crossed my mind until you mentioned him

I think there is a screen, yes.

This new normal. So complicated.

kazza sorry .

I don’t like the new normal

I see that the AC (air conditioning not you know who!) hoses are out - I still remember Rafa putting it down his shorts one year . I’d quite like my own personal AC unit

Chuckling at towelgate

I remember the Rafa AC incident.

We have air con (down stairs, haven't got around to putting it upstairs), because dsis/bil own their own company. So we acquired 2 old units they had. It would be ok if it was ever switched on (dh is always cold- even when it is 90 bloody degrees).

Yes Andy didn’t seem to understand the new towel rules kazza

I was thinking of my own portable AC unit Raahh (not sure if these exist!)

Andy against Zverev should be interesting - hope it’s not on in the middle of the night

Feeble wave from me - DH collapsed & fell 4 days ago - he had a small stroke & broke his hip. He's in hospital & it was 48+ hours before I could see him again - it's been the toughest time I've ever been through. But, he is sitting up in horsepittle bed & walked this morning, with the physio, and I should have him home again in a week or so. And I saw him today - which was amazing.

P L E A S E keep the tennis commentary going - it's a great relief from life for me atm.

I may be a lone voice (and rather unsporting!) but I'm hoping Sascha continues his crap run of serving......

Oh no! magi
Sending all best wishes to you and your DH

Oh magi that's awful for you. Hope your DH makes a full recovery. Look after yourself as well! and don't worry we will be here talking shite till the cows come home.

kazza you leave my boy Sascha alone!!

"we will be here talking shite till the cows come home."

That will make me very happy.

Bon soir - am off to bed, am exhausted from the relief of having seen him & that he is (relatively) OK.

He was blue lighted to hospital & I could not go with him - was not easy, in fact was fucking tough.

Oh magi so sorry to hear this! Your poor DH and poor you. Hope your DH is soon on the mend. Look after yourself too, hope you get some rest tonight.

I think we can safely say we will be here providing inane witterings (©AC) at any time.

I think Andy will fancy his chances against Sascha - have they ever played before??

My internet startedplaying up last night,so I gave up and fell asleep.

magi so very sorry to hear about your dh. It must have been so scary. I hope you get him home soon .

I am going to check on the overnight results.I did see that Cilic lost, which is a shame.

Private I think Sascha and Andy have played a couple of times- but it was way back in 2016; so I'm not sure we can take much from that.

Andy had never played Tiafoe before. There will probably be a few players that he hasn't played- since really, it's 3 years since he was properly competitive. A few new names have risen up the rankings since then

Oh magi just seen your message - so sorry and hope that your DH continues to improve

Yes I’m sure we’ll be able to continue with the inane ramblings

Oh yes, we do inane ramblings very well indeed.

And this thread is all the better for it Raahh

I love these

Jane.

I can only make out one of them- the other won't open for some reason.

My favourite Norwegian is playing Diego Schwartzman. There is no commentary - which is a problem, as without it, how will I know how short Diego is??!

Kevin Anderson is playing again tonight. I hope he is over his cramp!

Diego is wearing a shirt that looks like he allowed a bunch of pre-schoolers to splodge multicoloured handprints all over it. And neon yellow trainers.

It is some fashion statement.

how will I know how short Diego is??!
Oh no, and I'm dying to hear how tall Sascha is. No one ever mentions it!
