Tennis: Wimbledon Week 1

[JaneJeffer]

I loved Lendl . His grumpiness was part of his charm. Djok is just rude, charmless, graceless and arrogant.

In my opinion. .

Raahh I’m sure you are right, that the 50% relates to total attendance, not just any individual court.
(I may or may not have made that very point to my partner yesterday....)

This lovely thread is also reminding me of how my mother used to close the kitchen down for the fortnight of Wimbledon. As kids we thought it was great foraging for weird and wonderful concoctions of cold food.😀

I find him enormously arrogant Marsha - can only speak for myself though!

Raahh yum re the gooseberries I haven't seen any so far this season.

I think that just about sums it up Raahh

Science it's funny how many of us had the same 'Wimbledon fortnight' experience. .

I am happy to continue the tradition

Private I was planning to visit my mother tomorrow anyway, but I think the gooseberries might sway it. . She likes them very sour. She has always complained the shops always sell squishy ones (when you can find them).

Andy having a fairly easy time of it (for now!

Getting his moneys worth out the new hip !

Bit of channel hopping....

Muguruza is doing well, I'm glad to see.

Rublev/Harris has just started. I've seen Harris play a lot lately, for some reason.

Kenin in a bit of bother, against Brengle, who is wearing very odd leggings.

My Dm commented the other day that cc is not exactly social distanced

What's wrong with djork

Gone to make tea and soak up some sun, did Otte get the correct dude shorts in the end? It's on in the background

My grandparents had a gooseberry bush in their garden - we used to call them goosegogs for some reason!

I’ve not had any for years - I’ll have to hunt some down

Sized shorts not dude shorts

We had a gooseberry bush and rhubarb plus other fruit and veg

I can still remember that summer sharp taste riding on bikes with rhubarb

goosegogs so did we.

We had a gooseberry bush. It always looked half dead, but then would mysteriously perk up.

I wasn’t sure what was happening with Ottes shorts Sun - they look a bit baggy

The menfolk are wanting to watch a double bill of Tour de France - I’m thinking of leaving home

Rhubarb dipped in sugar! Kids don’t know they’re born these days

Can anyone enlighten me as to why the audience are not mask wearing, but some of the staff are?

Otte's gone up a gear in this game.

Oops Andy.

Jelly I'm not sure- but maybe it's because they will move around the grounds more? The spectators may be confined to 'one' area.
But I could be making it up. They might just feel safer.

I think Otte will win this match .

I don't know why the Wimbledon staff wear masks but spectators don't have to because it is a Government covid test event. No masks, no social distancing.

Hate gooseberries, love rhubarb

Hmm guess that kinda makes sense Raah, thank you..

Sorry, spectators have to wear masks moving around but can remove them when seated.
