We don't need Jim. We can do our own commentary.

ooh- Marin's on the come back trail!

We don't need Jim. Agreed (as my lovely children say).

On my only trip to Wimbledon, I was behind the Royal Box. Cliff was there. He didn't sing.

(I was only there because my friend's dad worked there- we shared tickets over the day).

Oof. Marin!

Now Jim thinks he is a tv director.

Jim complaining about the cameras now. He's in a right moany mood.

He certainly is .

He's got 6 months worth of commentary to get off his chest.

God help us.

At least Fabrice seems to have stayed awake today.

Lots of coffee for Fabrice.

To keep warm, as much as anything.

Well done, Dom. for Marin though. Tough match for a first round.

Well done Domi.

'Dominant Thiem'

I wonder how long John has been waiting to use that one?

This Serena story

Jane it was very odd. And didn't exactly paint Serena in a good light.

It wasn't the usual gushing Serena anecdote that the Beeb are fond of anyway. You need Martina for that. Or Billie Jean.

Good for Anne .

Another lopsided skirt.

I saw the start of the Serena match, and was shocked that she actually looked half decent. But I suspect thats because the jacket is covering the top half of the dress. The one she wore at the US open annoyed me as she kept messing with the elasticated bit under the bust.

I have had to come out to get dd2 so am missing everything now.

But yes, lop sided skirts are a big look this year.

Just looked at some scores though- what happened to Foggy??!

Ahn had a good first set- but it's all gone pear shaped since.

Ooh, he's not a bee this time. Rafa's sporting a lovely pink mask.

It's so good to see Rafa I could cry!

His opponent is very geometric.
