Tennis: Enjoying the last throes of the grass court season

[kazzaD66]

Jane I am sure (although it might have been weather related) they used to be on at the same time as the mens match, rather than on after. So - this would have been on court 1, whilst the singles was on.

Maybe having the roof has changed things- they are confident they can fit it all in, one after the other. But it's a bit risky.

I haven’t been watching Jane - was Dame Maggie there? His lordship’s done his back in so he’s even more grumpy than usual!

They do always mention Rafa’s losses (even when he’s not there ). They kept popping up in those Slam fact things or whatever they were called

Anyway it looks as if Rafa is having a nice time on his yacht in Mallorca with the sun setting behind him - wish I was there!

Hope Djok’s not been practising his dance moves too much if the players ball has been cancelled

I really hope the weather is ok tomorrow.

The last thing we want is the roof to be closed. I am not sure about Matteo's 'grass-court-indoors' record- but we definitely know about Djok's!

Ah maybe Raahh and then they showed them afterwards.

Back in the day there was no way of score checking so you could watch in peaceful oblivion whether it was live or not

I saw the Mallorca pictures, FIzzy it does look lovely.

I'm sure he's having a great time on his yacht. Catching a few fish.

That skyline over SW19 looks amazing.

Oh no Fizzy poor Lord Grantham. Yes Dame Maggie was there looking fantastic. I love that my autocorrect recognises Lord Grantham after I type a few letters

Jane very true. None of this score checking lark.

(I am guilty of score checking matches I am watching live- especially when they are abroad- because there is always a slight delay- that way I know the score a bit in advance ).

Wimbledon annoys me, because I can't do that .

I read spoilers too.

I hate surprises. .

They got about 5 minutes dispensation last time because -guess what- Murray was playing.

This time- they will get to 10-10 in the 5th- at 10.59- and will have to come back tomorrow.

I bet you.

My eyes are going.

I need a banana.

Or dates.

Too many signals

Good hold.

Haven't watched anything since about 4.45pm, so thought I'd just check my phone for the doubles result. Can't believe the men are still playing!

I thought the women's doubles final used to be on afternoon the men's singles, before the mixed

That's what I thought kazza but I know it wasn't the case in 2019 as I missed them and was pissed off! I don't know when it changed.

They could let those people in!

Jane they could- there's plenty of room!

They are having a very good year!

Great match. Well done the Croatians.

That was a good match.
Got to feel sorry for Granollers and the Rafa -Slayer , though .

.

Tidying up his racquets, that's nice.

he'll always be able to boast about that in the pub as Peter said.

Catherine's probably gone home by now.

Only so long you can wear white stilettos.

Teenchy trophies!

Jane well I for one will never forget it..

See- I still remember the days when the Woodies used to get their trophies in the stands. And I'm sure it was on the old number 1 court.
