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

[kazzaD66]

And welcome to Queen's

I think they only have to wear masks around the grounds Jane - seems weird seeing all those people sitting close together with no masks (especially with the roof closed)

That first game was quick from Djok

The greenness is always dazzling on the first day!

I'm not a regular poster on these threads but Wimbledon is one of my favourite parts of the year, I am very happy today.

Am really hoping for a huge upset today.

I've never liked the Linesmen/womens' outfits. The white trousers and skirts are not very flattering to the larger figure.

Hi @ILoveYou3000

Well done Jack. Keep it up!

Me neither eddie. I complain about them every year

Get in!

Great username ILoveYou3000

Jack has made a great start.

Come on Jack!

They’ve had these lines peoples outfits for a while I think? I agree they’re not very flattering on the fuller figure especially when they’re leaning forward!

Afternoon all!
Just watching 15 minutes of Draper before I visit dad!
Is it me or is the courtside scoreboard brighter than in the past

Come on Jack

And the maddening channel hopping has already begun!

I left the room for one minute and they’d changed the channel

Come on Jack!

Seems very slippery.

And the maddening channel hopping has already begun!

It's a pain in the backside isn't it?

Draper has come to play! He looks like he's not allowing the occasion or his opponent to affect him. I'm impressed with him so far.

@PrivateSpidey thank you!

Well done Jack

Jacks playing really well! His serve is great

Djok seems a bit out of sorts - it does seem a bit slippy

I, too, am delighted Wimbledon is back. DH not so much!

Go Jack!

Yes! Brilliant!

Yes!!

He's only 19 says the man who won Wimbledon at 17.

I'm really struggling to stay awake. It was pretty inevitable that this set would go this way . I don't trust Djok.

Hi Raahh no I don't trust him either. He had an evil smirk at the end of the first set.
