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

[kazzaD66]

And welcome to Queen's

I didn't get a sticker either

That flapjack sounds yummy.

It was yummy Jane! I’m still gutted that I didn’t get a sticker

Both my DS’s are still waiting for theirs - our GP doesn’t seem to be very forthcoming with appointments - hopefully they’ll get them soon

I know what you mean Raahh - I will still enjoy Wimbledon because I love watching it but it’s more fun when Rafa is there

I've never heard of rhubarb flapjack - sounds delicious! We have a ton of rhubarb growing in our garden every year, so lots of crumbles and fools, plus homemade rhubarb gin

I got a second sticker the other week, even when I didn't want one! It went straight in the bin. I wasn't going to wear it for jury service!

Looking forward to the tennis this afternoon. But really need to get some housework done before then

I'm watching Halle- and Medvedev is in danger of getting a Struffing.

Daniil is not happy and has just smashed a racquet.
He got a code violation- and said 'why? I didn't harm the grass '.

I'm laughing at the guy handing out Cinch fans. The women looked like he was passing her a hand grenade.

The Wimbledon 2013 final still brings a tear to my eye.

And Medvedev is out.
I'm surprised he didn't play Queen's- he had some good results there.

So- now I can turn over and see how Matteo is doing.

Jane- I am really surprised at the choice of sponsor- it just doesn't seem very ^Queen's Club' does it, cinch?
Money talks though.

Has AC not been allowed back to see Sue in the studio, after turning up yesterday like a scruff? .

it's all gone a bit downhill

Maybe Daniil was hoping to get revenge on Stef and that's why he chose Halle.

Jane maybe he did.

Sascha is playing Koepfer later- he did well against Fed last week- wonder how he is on grass?

I do like Dan's kit, especially this blue, although perhaps he should have worn his doubles green shirt, so he is camouflaged

Well so much for resting after my vaccine - I feel ok so far though - mmm rhubarb gin

AC might have been sent home in disgrace - especially now that Sue’s got a gong!

I don’t think the Cinch sponsorship goes with the South Kensington crowd (and I still don’t like the purple!)

Hi! New to the tennis threads, but I've been knocking around these halls for a good while.

Just on the school run and really looking forward to seeing Muzza back in action this afternoon. I've had a shocking day, I hope he sets it back on the right track

Hi XiXiXi - I think Murray is on after Dan Evans which could potentially go to 3 sets although still with serve in the second set

It will be interesting to see how Murray does - he’s not had much luck recently. It will be interesting to see which Benoit turns up today (I think he hates Wimbledon so assume he’s not a grass fan?)

I'm hoping Benoit's beard has got so big, he can't see properly

Fergus is getting a bit fed up with spectators not sitting down on time

Welcome Xi
Hopefully Dan continues to hold his serve and finishes this match soon.
I've probably put the mokkas on it now

I'm here, I've got a coffee in hand and just watching the Evans match.
I didn't catch half as much Roland Garros as I would have liked to so I'm firmly planting myself here for Queens and Wimbledon. I bloody love grass season!

Good win for Dan - he was very smiley (for him!) in his post match interview!

He was smiley
Good win for Dan

Peter Fleming still has a fine head of hair

Ah, Andy's prat fall

Thank goodness he’s left the bra at home

I couldn’t really see Benoit’s beard behind his mask - think he might have had a trim?

OMG - the interviewer’s just asked Andy how he managed to have four children!

Andy's shirt is a bit
It reminds me of the Adidas one that Stefan and Lendl wore in the 80's, without the collar and buttons

fizzy Andy went bright red

I like Andy's top. Is it his own range?
It's got AMC as a logo.
I was looking suspiciously at Peter's hair yesterday

Hi Xi
