TENNIS THREAD- it's '"Bienvenidos a Miami"- and then onwards to the clay season (with hopefully no unwanted injuries ) Vamos!

[Raahh]

Bit of Will Smith there to start a new thread.

I wanted to put 'and no anti- vaxxers' but the title was long enough already .

DS1 wants me to find out where he can get Carlos' top but I couldn't see it anywhere. Nike need to up their game when it comes to tennis stuff. I wonder if they ever made a women's version of Rafa's 21 top?

Jane - somewhere though, there is probably a warehouse full of Adidas 'poo shorts'. Going cheap.

Never change Stan

Ha, love the giant cats!

Just seen that Kristijan Schneider who was Borna Coric's coach died from abdominal cancer. He was only 41

Oh Jane that is so sad.

Oh no that is really sad

I think Rafa’s trying to let us down gently about expectations for Madrid.

On his insta page he says despite just arriving from preparation and being difficult he is looking forward to playing - I’m hoping it’s another lost in translation moment

Oh dear it’s sentencing day for (our) Boris today - don’t think he’ll be commentating at Wimbledon this year

DH has entered a Radio 5 competition to win Wimbledon tickets - if they phone you up you have to fill in the missing word to describe an Andy Murray forehand - 7 letters, ending in g, with an a - DH thinks it’s amazing - a few people have had a go already and got it wrong

Oh dear Boris. I hope it is OK for him. He's am idiot but people have done far worse and got away with it.

I read that as Andy Murray's ^forehead' and it made me laugh..

Arguing ( he's good at that)
<runs away>

Arching?

In other news- Iga has had to pull out of Madrid with a shouldder injury , which is a massive blow, and I hopw not too serious, or a problem for RG. She's had such a good run lately, and really proved a worthy successor to Ash at number 1.

Thanks for the suggestions Raahh - Andy Murray’s forehead - DH seems a bit obsessed about the competition - I’m not sure that I really understand it!

that’s a shame for Iga - she’s been pretty unstoppable recently

yes I feel a bit sorry for (our) Boris - I just think he’s a bit of an idiot but they might make an example of him

Two and a half years in prison for Boris

I've just seen Boris has been given a 2 and a half year sentence
Will serve half apparently.
Oh Boris.

Oh no poor Boris

This isn’t going to help with the Boris confusion

I still can’t believe that Boris paid £22,000 per month rent for his Wimbledon house . The All England Club have got to decide if they’re going to take his membership from him - it really is all quite sad

Sorry don’t know why picture is wrong way round!

That cartoon the update has buggered up photos - I've seen lots of complaints

I thought it was just my incompetence Jane - I’ve yet to find anything that’s an improvement on the new site

Good thing he can depend on his personality!

Just remembered Downtown Abbey is in the cinema now.

I liked Liam Broady's comment on Andy's post. They do like to wind each other up
