I thought he said that uncle Toni was coaching Tsitsipas - idiot!

JaneJeffer · 13/06/2022 13:36

I've already tuned out from the commentary Grin

Uncle Toni said Rafa is beginning his Wimbledon preparation today. Yay!

I’m still not liking the purple!

Shut up AC - I’ve forgotten how annoying he is!

Fizzywinegum · 13/06/2022 13:37

Oh that’s good news Jane - fingers crossed for Rafa

JaneJeffer · 13/06/2022 13:39

I don't want to do an MN diagnosis but I think since the Covid break AC seems to get a bit confused and forgetful Confused they didn't have him on much at Wimbledon last year.

I think they could just do with some younger commentators/pundits on the beeb (or at least someone who knows what they’re talking about and gets things right!)

Halle and Queens are also on Prime (although the colour on the Fritz/Draper match was really bright on my TV for some reason)

Fizzywinegum · 13/06/2022 13:53

They’ve got music at the change of ends Shock

They’d better not do that at Wimbledon!

JaneJeffer · 13/06/2022 13:57

Someone must have thought this place is too classy, let's paint it purple and play loud music.

The colour, the music- no, Queen's is not what it wasGrin

Raahh · 13/06/2022 14:19

Peter Fleming is a bit obsessed with the heights of players. I suppose he was always used to being one of the tallest around.

The first player I remember being really tall was Slobodan Zivojinovic- 'Bobo'- he was bout 6ft 6- and they mentioned it 'a lot' Grin

Fizzywinegum · 13/06/2022 14:32

No I’m not impressed with the new Queens! Hmm

I remember Bobo!

Alex de Minaur was described as diminutive earlier and he’s 6 foot! (Most people would be diminutive at the side of Opelka though!)

Fizzywinegum · 13/06/2022 14:56

That was quick! Well done Jack

Fergus had to tell the DJ to hold the music at one point Grin

ChessieFL · 13/06/2022 16:02

I have just caught a bit of the Norrie match, because I have arrived at my hotel and am hiding in my room watching tennis instead of having to go and make small talk with people I don’t know.

I like the purple!

JaneJeffer · 13/06/2022 16:10

Don't blame you Chessie Grin

Just watching what looks like the last couple of games of the Grigor/Cam match. Norrie has ditched the snazzy shorts in his run up to Wimbledon, I see.
Been a topsy -turvy match, this.

Mama1980 · 13/06/2022 18:09

The purple is a bit purple isn't it? Very Wimbledon colours.

Raahh · 13/06/2022 18:33

I am watching the Cilic match- and Marin did really well in the first set- but he seems to have really lost his way in the second.

Come on, Marin!!

JaneJeffer · 13/06/2022 19:12

This could go either way. I don't like Liam's outfit. Marin looks nice and summery.

JaneJeffer · 13/06/2022 19:18

Lorenzo must have got injured?

OP posts:
Raahh · 13/06/2022 19:53

I got confused thereJaneGrin because Murray was due to play Lorenzo Sonego- but it's now saying Sonego/Kudla, so I'm guessing Murray dropped out.

Too many two Lorenzos.

But Marin is through- so yay!

Raahh · 13/06/2022 19:54

(I'm assuming you meant MussettiiGrin)

JaneJeffer · 14/06/2022 09:12

I'm not on first name terms with Mr. Sonego Grin

Hopefully I will finally get to see Stan the Man today!

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 14/06/2022 13:06

Oh God please don't start with the "funny" Kyrgios chat Angry

OP posts:
Raahh · 14/06/2022 13:10

Afternoon Jane Grin

I'm already fed up with Sue and John. I think John would give Murray the Wimbledon title today if he could. Hmm

Fizzywinegum · 14/06/2022 13:18

Afternoon all Grin

Why are they talking about Kyrgios and Andy? Confused - Sorry John but I can’t really see Andy getting to the semis at Wimbledon

Looking forward to seeing Matteo and Stan the Man later. Will be interesting to see how Casper does on the grass (I can’t remember him at Wimbledon last year)

Ryan looks about 12.years old!
