Tennis: The sun is out, the sky is blue, the grass is green and Wimbledon is calling

And welcome to Queen's

I like to think David would appreciate me talking to my dog.

Or am I thinking of Dr Doolittle? .

Ahh, there's Fergus, with the perfect beard.

Hello all. I am following live text for the cricket (come on NZ!) and the F1 (come on Lewis!) and thus relying on you for tennis updates. I have no idea who I prefer to win of Norrie and Berrettini, knowing pretty much nothing about either of them.

I have put the kitchen telly on for the final set. Why do they let people in just as someone is about to serve?

Good game from Norrie.

Oh poor Cam!

Well done Matteo. You can't help but smile along with him

Yay!
I am actually really pleased for Berrettini. He has been lovely all week, and is very charming.

I am also fascinated by Matteo's hair. How does he manage to get his hair looking so lush, when he's been playing in a cap? No hat-hair for Matteo.

Why have they got to wear masks, when Sue isn't? He's far enough away from her.

I'm a bit disappointed that Rylan isn't there, to present Matteo with a used Fiesta.

They need a taller mic stand.

He does

'The weather was English'

Andrew and Peter have spent a lot of this doubles match, discussing how tall Peter is, in comparison to Opelka .

And now, we have a lesson on bees, with Andrew Cotter.

We're now onto the tallest nations (I'm sure they've done this before) apparently- men are tallest in the Netherlands. I will not be moving there.

.

Mahut and PHH are about to win- which is nice.
I wonder how much longer we will see Mahut play? He is a player I will miss when he retires.

PHH a bit shaky on this service game though, serving for the match.

I might have jinxed them...

Oh dear- 2 double faults.

All square again.

And they've won. Mahut has a lovely smile.

PMSL- Opelka is struggling with the short mic stand.

he's actually quite funny- asked if he would play with Isner, he said that would be the worst pairing ever, and no-one would want to watch it. .

What a lovely way to end the week.

Well done Mahut/Herbert.

Glad to see Eastbourne is on BBC tomorrow. Wouldn't want to get withdrawal symptoms.

I'm hoping Mallorca is on Prime- there are a few big names there, and it will be nice to see some sun

(it will probably rain now!)

Managed to miss all of the tennis this weekend - didn’t really mind who won Queens but I do like Berretitni - I’m not surprised that AC fancies him - he is very charming!

I was reading in the paper today that the LTA tried to persuade Djok to switch nationality to become British early in his career . Can you imagine that?

Not long until Wimbledon now - if it’s Djok and Isner in the final I’m definitely not watching!
