Tennis: Wimbledon Week 1

[JaneJeffer]

Yes, I think the crowd wear them when they move from the courts.

It's like some schools. Masks in corridors, but they aren't bothering in the classroom.

which is why dd1 is on her 6th isolation, yes I'm bitter

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

used to love that. My grandma had a gooseberry bush too. I tried to grow one but it didn't take

Rublev is playing very well. Some amazing shots from him.

Close first set for Venus against Ons Jabeur.

Andy's in a very negative place right now. It's not good to watch.

Otte seems a tad grumpy. They're well matched for temperament, these two.

I knew I should have got up from the sofa earlier. It’s been over nine hours and it looks like it will be another couple of hours. Even DS1 is now giving me the side eye.

I can’t bring myself to leave the Murray match but I would love to be watching Venus play Ons Jabeur. What a trailblazer she is. And Ive always loved Venus.

Grouchy

I've just switched over and Ons had a fall- she was holding her hip- I hope she's ok. It's getting a bit rubbish all the falls.

Otte and Murray very similar temperament indeed.
Murray needs to find his game again quickly..

I don't think Murray has the power or acceleration to win this. Otte can out hit him.

I just switched over to hear that Andujar has wihdrawn, which makes me even sadder for PHH. He played a great match, and it was so close in the end.

More like that please, Andy.

Is Andy calling for a taxi?

Raahh I saw that too - he was due to play Shapovalov wasn't he? Such a shame for him and PHH as you said.

Private it just seems so unfair on the opponent. I know it happens a lot, but it just seems wrong.

And Ons has won.

I wonder if Venus will be back next year?

Is Andy shouting "belter"?

What is Andy shouting? Builder? Does he mean Tim?

This isn’t an enjoyable watch, is it?

Happy for Jabeur. Venus really is inspirational.

RBA is doing alright, 2 sets up.

Harris has started to give Rublev some issues, but Andrey is still looking very good.
I like Lloyd's hair though. . (When he takes his head band off he looks very different).

I don't like watching Otte.

Sounds like "belter" yes. I'm guessing a scottish word. Any Scots here?

Builder? Belter?

Boulter? She played pretty well, maybe he wants her to take over. .

Good thing he wasn't shouting belter at Basilashvili!

When we say 'that's a belter' we mean it's good. ( I'm a Manc though).

Suppose it depends on the context.

Watch Rublev, Jane it's fabulous.
