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

[JaneJeffer]

hello

@JaneJeffer

I miss Mac. Hope he's at Wimbledon.

Jane I was just typing a post about that! I was wondering about it yesterday.

I miss Mac as well Jane - he used to be on the french Open coverage (still holding a grudge about Lendl beating him )

Maybe he can’t travel because of the Covid restrictions but I hope he’ll be at wimbledon

Is Stef going to speak? (Maybe Osaka had a point)

I didn't watch the trophy ceremony. Feel so bad for Stef as it is!

Oh wait, is it still going on?

Yes, there was a sense of inevitability. Unfortunately.

I miss him perving over Rafa

Jane

No artist this year?

Rafa

Are we not getting to hear the speeches then?
I mean, I don't really mind. But , I wonder why? Must be a broadcasting thing.

Tsisipas is desperate to go away and cry in private

I remember the year that the ITV studio at RG was right above a band or something. It was really loud.

Pin yep

Bye Fabrice!

Oh I liked the artist!

Bet John Inverdale is gutted - wondering who else will employ him - hope we see fabrice again (although I bet he’s please to escape from Jim!)

I will probably get Post Slam Blues tomorrow.

I didn't really get chance to dwell after Melbourne, because of the homeschooling stuff.

But we have Queens!

Yes Queens starts tomorrow - some good matches! I’ll be glued to the settee again with DH moaning - happy days

Yes, we have Queen's.

I have a whole bunch of appointments over the next 2 weeks, so hopefully I will see stuff.

Well, I'm glad I stayed in the garden.
Bollocks to that result.
Why couldn't the tournament have been postponed to October again

Hurrah for Queen's. Really looking forward to this coming week. Especially as it will be Cock-free
Although I suppose it will mean the
re-emergence of another cock, the bouffanted butterfly fancier

And congratulations to Sue for her gong in the Birthday Honours List!

OMG just read that Tsisipas found out his grandmother had passed away 5 mns before the final????
Poor boy.

Shall oh that's awful.
Poor Stef.

He posted a great message on Instagram. Very wise and moving.

I've just had chance to read that- he is very wise, and knows what matters.
Must have been a very difficult day.

Aww poor Stef - he was so composed at the start of the match as well

Looks as if Queens is on BBC2 from about 1pm - I think Sinner is playing today - will be interesting to see how some of the newbies cope on grass.

Looking forward to seeing the butterfly fancier (sorry kazza) - he’s got over a year of nonsense to talk about!

Well done to Sue on her gong for services to wheelie bin tennis

Right better get on and do something (I’m just pretending that Djok didn’t win yesterday!)
