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

[kazzaD66]

And welcome to Queen's

[JaneJeffer]

I didn't get a sticker either

That flapjack sounds yummy.

[Fizzywinegum]

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

[kazzaD66]

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

[Raahh]

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 '.

[JaneJeffer]

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

[JaneJeffer]

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

[Raahh]

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

[Raahh]

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

[Raahh]

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.

[Raahh]

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

[JaneJeffer]

it's all gone a bit downhill

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

[Raahh]

Jane maybe he did.

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

[kazzaD66]

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

[Fizzywinegum]

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!)

[XiXiXi]

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

[Fizzywinegum]

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?)

[kazzaD66]

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

[kazzaD66]

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

[XiXiXi]

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!

[Fizzywinegum]

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

[kazzaD66]

He was smiley
Good win for Dan

Peter Fleming still has a fine head of hair

Ah, Andy's prat fall

[Fizzywinegum]

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!

[kazzaD66]

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

[kazzaD66]

fizzy Andy went bright red

[JaneJeffer]

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
