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

[kazzaD66]

And welcome to Queen's

Ah Heather. I always hope.

I didn't realise Broady was playing Chickenato today. Well done to him.

Some good matches coming up tomorrow as well - what an amazing first day!

Hopefully everyone will be going out to watch the footy tomorrow so I can watch tennis in peace

Morning.
I couldn't seem to manage to stay awake for more than an hour or at a time yesterday (Dh said 'you must be ill, if you are sleeping through the tennis). I'm not feeling brilliant, but hoping for a better day.

Some good matches - the Barty/ Suarez Navarro match which be emotional, I think. I really want Barty to do well this year- but this will be Carla's last Wimbledon, and her match at RG was pretty special for her.
Although I don't really want to watch Kyrgios- I do want to see Humbert dump him in the first round- so Allez! Ugo.
If I make it to the end of the day- Struff/ Medvedev could be interesting. Struff is no stranger to upsets- but I hope Daniil gets through it.

First though- I have to concentrate on staying awake .

Hope you feel better today @Raahh .
Lots of good matches today.
I will be looking out for Evans / Lopez which looks interesting. Dimitrov / Verdasco also looks good value. Won't be watching any sadly although I am WFH so I could put it on in the background. Football will take over from 5.00

It's great to see Dan looking so happy.

Watching Dan and Deliciano.
Such a shame this is a first round match.
I like both players.
I love the way they play but then I'm old fashioned
I keep expecting Dan Maskell to chip in with an "oh I say! What a lovely volley."

Those people better sit down quick on Fergus' watch

Is that grey in Feli's beard?

He is 39 now kazza - no grey on Roger though!

Hopefully done all my running around so can devote the rest of the day to tennis - more good matches today and I’ve still not recovered from yesterday yet!

Hope you are feeling better today Raahh - hopefully Kyrgios will go out in the first round - he can’t have played properly for ages

Maybe that's why Roger doesn't have a beard fizzy
He's a spring chicken! I'd love to be 39 again (or even 49!)

Hope you're feeling better today raahh and can enjoy some tennis.

Wow some people are on the booze early today at Wimbledon!

It's 5 o'clock somewhere jane

Lucky them Jane - although yes it is a bit early to be drinking (apart from Pimms which doesn’t really count)

kazza I double checked Feli’s date of birth after I’d posted and saw that he was born in 1981 - that seems like yesterday to me!

He needs some just for men on his beard!

Well done Dan!

Go Dan!

Ah 1981 when Mac beat Borg - great year

The line judge at the far end looks like Benoit's dad

kazza

Hope those two aren’t pulling a sickie from work!

My lot are going to the pub later to watch footy but I’ve got to drop them off at different places - they’re not getting any tea!

Those interviews are pointless.

Benoit's dad I haven't seen the Santa Claus line judge so far.

I agree Jane - I read somewhere that they’re doing them to avoid doing the interviews inside but I’m assuming they still have to do press conferences inside anyway

Although Andy’s was funny last night - just a bit TMI about his toilet habits

Well done Dan!
The interviews are weird, especially when the crowd can't hear them

Kim looked very embarrassed at that comment but I thought it was great because Andy just seemed so relaxed and happy.

Oh yes Andy interviews are always good value.

Venus is an amazing woman still going strong with all her health issues.
