Aslan's top looks like it has a Star Trek symbol on it.

Raahh · 05/05/2023 20:13

I really like the name Aslan. I think I need a new pet.

JaneJeffer · 05/05/2023 20:14

If you're Irish and you hear Aslan mentioned you immediately start singing How can I protect you in this crazy world?

That's the Head logo which is such an awful name for a brand.

It is, isn't it? Jane .

I think it looks trekkie, because it's silver on hs top.

I don't like that kit, the colours are wishy washy.

Finally getting to watch some tennis! My DM and DSis and her kids are coming round tomorrow to watch the coronation - it seems to be taking on a life of it’s own!

I’ve actually painted a bit of the living room, put the scary bunting up and made a cake - anyone would think that Charles and Camilla were coming round Hmm

I’m now sitting down with a big glass of wine and hopefully watching Struff take this into a third set

Karatsev has mighty legs - like tree trunks Grin

It looks like they melted a slushie on it

You've been busy Fizzy good thing coronations don't come round too often

There was an interesting discussion about the ball girls on the tennis podcast - apparently they’re models and only used on the men’s matches on the grandstand courts - for other matches they use bog standard ball girls in normal clothes (I have seen some just wearing Lacoste T-shirt’s that cover their bellies!)

Catherine is quite rightly not happy about this! It does seem very outdated Hmm

Ooh into a third set - we can’t hear you Dani - much better outfit today

JaneJeffer · 05/05/2023 20:34

That's terrible Fizzy I've seen the other outfits but I didn't notice that the girls weren't model material Angry

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 05/05/2023 20:37

Yes it made me very Angry as well Jane - grr!

Apparently their response was to say they would use male models as ball boys Hmm

Raahh · 05/05/2023 20:39

Fizzy I read an article about that- the worst thing is- it's not the first time they've done it in Madrid.

You can tell they are older than the ones on the outside courts, and they are all the same height more or less.

It's very odd, and really not approprite.

Raahh · 05/05/2023 20:44

The trouble is, the way Carlos has been playing, I can foresee an Iga-style damp squib of a final.

JaneJeffer · 05/05/2023 20:44

That was a long game

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 05/05/2023 20:55

The crowd have woken up.

Raahh · 05/05/2023 20:59

I will be really pleased for Struff, if he makes the final. It feels like he's earned it Grin.

Fizzywinegum · 05/05/2023 21:00

Come on Struff - I want to see the minion again! Unfortunately the final might be a damp squib but Struff has got Mr Motivator in his box Grin - he does seem to get nervous though

The whole Madrid ball girl thing is weird and makes me feel uncomfortable - Feli needs to sort it out!

Go Marvin Grin

JaneJeffer · 05/05/2023 21:00

I'm trying to read Marvin's T-shirt, something about Oz

He must have overdone leg day
