Tennis: Wimbledon Week 1

[JaneJeffer]

Matteo!

The subtitles can be a bit random (bit like autocorrect!)

Jibber Jabba!

From what I seen it's a bad omen to have a birthday on the day you're playing at least Wimbledon

Last week one chap dropped out from injury on his birth and someone else goy knocked out on their birthday too. Sorry it's escaped me what their names were

I've just seen that the BBC spent tens of thousands of pounds to change their logo. Well worth it. I mean look at the difference.

Go on & on, Ons. Just love her & thrilled she won. Great match.

So much choice today...........................

Thousands of pounds, donated by the tax payers!
What a joke to change that! And why ??

.. and it looks crapola too !

I think Rafa is one of the few players who has done ok playing on his birthday (at RG- although Djok beat him on his birthday in 2015- which was rude).

Jane that's licence payer's money well spent, that is. .

The license payers should write and complain !!
It is such a waste of money !

I miss Rafa so much

That's taking the mick!

I can imagine the W1A episode where they design that new logo

Watching shapavalov (sp?) here

I'm watching Ash and Barbora. I like them both.

😀 Yes, can you imagine?

Jane I miss him too . (Though not the endless negative commentary)- and he won't be at the Olympics- so I'm not sure when he will next play. Canada? Cincinatti? US Open? I wonder if they will do 'Fake Cincy' again? Although the US seem to think they have beaten Covid, so probably not.

I'm having a bit of a look around the scores- Rublev is a set down. I was hoping he would do well.

I miss Nadal too

To be fair, Jane, the new one looks much better. But how does it cost that much to say "Let's make it all a bit smaller"???

Barty v Krejcikova is turning into a good match.

Yes, I'm watching Ash and Babs. A good match now.

The logo change is just odd,- I mean, did someone really sit in a meeting and say- you know what- I think the logo is a few millimetres too big?

And - as my mother is fond of saying- a man on a galloping horse wouldn't really be able to tell the difference.

It makes me feel like they's got too much money stashed away somewhere.

a man on a galloping horse wouldn't really be able to tell the difference
That's exactly what I thought

@Maireas

Yes, I'm watching Ash and Babs. A good match now.

I'm watching this too

Briefly switched over for the Djokovic Garin match but that looks like it will be a Djokovic walk over and Babs& Ash looks like a much more exciting game

Yeah, by the time they have paid Gary lineker his millions , you would think they wouldn't have much change over to change logos.
Why the need anyway? Baffled 😕

Pfft.

I am not watching Djok, because, well, it's Djok. Of all the matches, he really has got one of the easier ones. (Sorry Cristian). Garin is not a bad player, but his surface is really clay, I think.

Come on Garin. At least try and give him a match.
