TENNIS THREAD- We've mowed the grass, and now it's onwards to the hard courts!

[Raahh]

Quite neat timing for a new thread really.

Naomi Broady is expecting twins!

Jane that is so lovely! She was hiding them very well in her fancy frocks the other week Many congratulations to her (and Uncle Liam ).

He’s so arrogant. He needs to just accept that his vaccination decision means he can’t do some things, not try and find ways round it. It makes me very angry.

Great news about Naomi!

I’ll be really cross if the US make an exception for Djok - you’d think he’d have learned his lesson from Australia wouldn’t you? Fair enough if he doesn’t want the vaccine but don’t expect special treatment

And no he’s definitely not the messiah (he’s a very naughty boy)

Congratulations to Naomi - twins wow!

I haven’t been following the tennis this week so will try to have a catch up - I think Murray lost to Bublik the other day

I’m trying to work out how to cope with the extreme heat over the next few days - I wonder if Matteo would let me borrow his ice bath

Fizzy I'd borrow Matteo's ice bath (if he comes with it ).

Ha ha that’s what I was thinking Raahh

I am losing my marbles. Dh turned the tv on - the football is starting. I thought the announcer said it was Switzerland play the Nolans.

Sadly, it's the the Netherlands.

Raahh - I think I would tune in to see the Nolans playing football - the heat must be getting to you!

Now that would be entertaining!

The Nolans would really be fun
The heat is definitely getting to me- even though it's quite overcast here.

I'm down for the Nolans playing football. They've got a good chance of beating Norway.

Look who's glad he didn't quit this sport. Well done beautiful

Well done Maxime!

I thought it was great the way Naomi announced her news, with the likes of Andy, Venus and Ons holding up two Wimbledon baby gros

The Wimbledon vests were very cute, kazza- but probably cost a small fortune, and not the sort of thing you want get poo stains on (that never come out ).

Definitely for show memory box purposes only.

It was a cute announcement.

Here's Madonna and child. Mumsnet can have a fit about the pierced ears

Jane took me about 5 seconds to remember which Madonna - my brain was thinking - bloody hell, she kept that quiet

I like her little hat

(I mean, quite apart from the fact the Madonna is nearly 64- on dd1's 16th birthday)

I've been checking a few scores- my tv keeps going off. i think my house is over loaded with people wfh and fans (we do have air con down stairs though).

Domi is struggling in Gstaad. Alcaraz, who is the top seed, is not doing much better in Hamburg.

I really don't want to pick dd2 up from school .My steering wheel melted yesterday afternoon, all over my (white) t-shirt Nice black marks.

I didn't even notice at first.

It's her year 6 leavers assembly tomorrow. Thank goodness the weather is due to break, since I have to go twice.

There's no chance of anything melting here.

Looks like Alcaraz and Thiem both won their matches in the end. So that's good.

I managed not to melt in my car. .

I am watching some athletics. I tell you who I don't ever want to take over from Sue (not that she ever would ) - Paula Radcliffe. Her voice really gets on my nerves, and I don't know why.

Bublik withdrew but I can't find out why.

I have been keeping up with scores but haven’t actually watched any tennis for a while now.

Where do you all get your tennis news from? I usually use BBC sport but other than the scores they don’t report much actual information unless it’s about something particularly high profile.
