Tennis: Wimbledon Week 1

[JaneJeffer]

Yes Shapo was brilliant wasn't he. Agree Grouchy - Andy should be v proud of himself. Some fantastic stuff this week.

Oh come on, Rishi, don't make this interview all about Andy! Denis played well, he needs his time.

Exactly Grouchy

Aw bobbins. Sad for ma fellow Scot but this young lad played a belter.

What the fuck kind of question was that?!? Well answered though. Kind hearted and classy Denis.

I will be supporting him from now on. Good kid.

Rishi is shite at the best of times. I can't believe he's still got a job, given the amount of cock ups over the years

magi are you dancing around your sitting room celebrating your boy?

Ah yes Denis seems like a nice chap - I keep forgetting how young he is! Yes don’t make it all about Andy - Denis did really well

Mac

Fizzy I still find it funny when they discuss how young the players are- with Becker of all people, who won at 17, and had won Wimbledon 3 times before he was 22. And the US Open.

.

OOh- dont mention Jamie, Mac. That's a sore point.

Tell it like it is John

Jane he's the only one who dares.

What is John saying? I have turned it off.

He said Andy shouldn't bother with the Olympics amongst other things.

Joe Wicks & Mr Motivator in the same picture. Like worlds have collided

Had Murray match on mute looked like a walk over

great photo

I have to ask, why is Jamie a sore point?

From the horse's mouth @ILoveYou3000

"To not be selected as part of the team feels like a rejection and you feel slighted by it. To not make one of the top four spots for the doubles team is obviously hard, especially after the career I've had.
"The selectors obviously felt there was better teams to go with. I don't necessarily agree with that but that's just the way it is. You just have to live with that.
"I've played three times before, had good experiences off the court, not so much on the court. It's disappointing."

Thank you Jane

Yes.

And am really quite glad to see the end of "plucky Brits". I get so fucked off with the hype. It's tennis, not Olympics/Euros/World Cup. Nationality should not matter.

(I know we have Norrie tomorrow, last of the 'Brit Boys' (ffs).

Bon Soir from grumpy magi.

Mac's probably not wrong, but I can understand why Andy wants to do it.

Night grumpy magi

I think Jamie’s got a point - hope it won’t be awkward round the Murray Christmas table this year

magi at least I can't be accused of supporting them just because they're British.

I do like Andy and think he has done well to get so far after his surgery. I'm more sad that Dan is out and I think he was treated very unfairly in the past so I was rooting for him. I can't warm to Norrie so I'm not fussed about him.

Denis played an amazing game. Andy must have been wrecked from that 5 setter against Otte. Denis was generous and modest with his victory, but honestly, can they not get a better interviewer?
