Tennis: at the end of the clay...RG final week

[JaneJeffer]

hello

The women also have all the same expenses as the men for travel, equipment, their team, etc.

It's not the most riveting match but I am a bit headachey today.

Jane true about the teams- all these sports psychologists don't come cheap!
I had a headache this morning- like a hangover, and I haven't had drink for ages - but I've not been well all week, (and it was probably stress from last night's match ).

I need a sport psychologist after last night!

Tell me about it.

The more I have read, the less confident I am that Rafa will be at Wimbledon. There is a Mallorca tournament starting on the 21st- but said he won't play that (doesn't play in the week before a slam), and is not sure when he will get to practice on grass.

It will be sad if he doesn't go.

I don't expect him to get very far at Wimbledon but I'd love him to be there.

DS2 was expecting to get the sitting room telly back for the euros tomorrow and wasn't impressed when I told him Queens is starting

I do love this umpire

The Barry White of umpires.

Jane no, Wimbledon could be a big ask- even though he's defending a semi final finish from 2019. He might want to prioritise the Olympics- if they go ahead. I imagine he would want to go to the US this year, too.

Jane

Well, that was a bit of lackkustre championship point.

It was underwhelming, Sam, you're not wrong.

Yes and the crowd don't seem very enthusiastic.

Well done to both of them.

Another first time winner.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a first time winner too .

Jane no, they were very quiet, really.

Almost as bad as having no crowd .

Amen to that Raahh

Aww, Jana. .

Eurovision woman

Singing?

Do they usually have singing?

Was this the Eurosvision entry?

Better not catch on at Wimbledon, this.
Can you imagine James Newman, in his donkey jacket , on centre court?

I would pay good money to see that Raahh

This would be awful, if you'd just played a 5 set match in 6 hours and just wanted a bath.

regardez moi?? No, merci.

This is unusual....

They should just have umpire Barry White read a shopping list or something... that would be nice

Very French. Was it the voila, voila, voila that gave it away John?

Jane actually- I'm warming to the idea...

He could have a white donkey jacket.
