Not paying attention again Tennis

I see Kato won her mixed match against her also disqualified women's doubles partner.

Marie Bouzkova and Sara Sorribes Tormo got a lot of abuse for their part in getting the other pair disqualified and Vasek Pospisil said Kato's loss of prize money and points was theft!

She was wearing his hat Grin

Stuttgart tomorrow. Lovely Matteo is back in action (he's defending the title).

Raahh · 11/06/2023 18:15

He will eat 23 figs.

He is too boring for champagne. or fun.

JaneJeffer · 11/06/2023 18:15

Hertogenbosch is on too with beautiful Maxime. Our eyes can be refreshed tomorrow.

OP posts:
Raahh · 11/06/2023 18:17

I am not sure whether I can watch them (can't remember whether the 250 tournaments are all on Prime).
Will find out tomorrow, I suppose!

JaneJeffer · 11/06/2023 18:18

Well it was a weird RG this year and a sad one for me.

Hope Rafa is recovering well from his op

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 11/06/2023 18:19

I watched last year somewhere. I will check it out later.

OP posts:
Raahh · 11/06/2023 18:22

It was sad, Jane soemthing was missing- even though I'm used to him missing things.

Hopefully Rafa is recovering well.

As i've said before, Rafa retiring would be easier to stomach if Djok's was gurning mug didn't keep winning everywhere!

kazzaD66 · 11/06/2023 18:48

Fucker Angry

Obviously, I didn't watch but DS told me about the 23 jacket. Fucking arrogant fuckwit Angry

In happier news, Andy has just won Surbiton after a long rain delay. Lovely moment when he went over to Jamie, his wife and their daughter afterwards. Uncle Andy Smile
Apparently, Kim and children turned up a couple of minutes before the rain delay and then had to go home again Grin

Fizzywinegum · 11/06/2023 20:55

Well done Andy - hope that Kim didn’t have to drag them all there on the train/tube - probably not Grin

We’ve had lots of thunder rumbling here but no rain so it’s still annoyingly humid!

magimedi · 11/06/2023 21:20

Watched the first set of Cock & gave up & wandered into town for an apero!

Smart choice! Had much more fun - with no figs.

Delighted for Andy.

JaneJeffer · 11/06/2023 21:29

Good choice magi

I'm watching Borg V Mac on Gods of Tennis. So funny seeing John getting a public warning for something they wouldn't bat an eyelid at now.

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 11/06/2023 22:08

I’ve just watched that Jane - loved the umpire explaining his call to Mr McEnroe Grin

Looking forward to Chrissie and Martina next week

JaneJeffer · 11/06/2023 22:11

Chalk flew up Fizzy Grin

Borg couldn't handle losing to Mac

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 11/06/2023 22:14

I’m glad that they’re still friends Jane - it did all look a bit intense for Bjorn

JaneJeffer · 11/06/2023 22:18

Too many teenyboppers Grin

OP posts:
kazzaD66 · 12/06/2023 09:13

Have recorded the Mac/Borg programme.

Currently at my late parents house, supervising the house clearance to the British Heart Foundation, ahead of eventually completing on the sale at the end of the month. Feeling a bit down about it all Sad

Fizzywinegum · 12/06/2023 09:58

That sounds tough kazza - look after yourself Flowers

The Gods of Tennis is a good watch - it was weird seeing the ‘teenyboppers’ coming onto the court for Borg’s autograph

I’m fed up of seeing smug Djok everywhere!

I think Andy Murray said that he’s playing in Nottingham next week - if I could get myself organised I’d quite like to go but not sure if I’ll be able to manage it

Judy M posted a photo of Djok when he was little and he just looked like his son Stefan - not sure when he turned into Beelzebub!

Fizzywinegum · 12/06/2023 10:00

Oh the Nottingham tournament starts this week I think

JaneJeffer · 12/06/2023 11:09

kazza Flowers not an easy task

Prime seems just to be showing women's tennis this week. I don't remember where I watched Hertogenbosch last year but I'm sure I was flicking between there and Stuttgart. Can't see them anywhere.

OP posts:
ChessieFL · 12/06/2023 12:33

Flowers kazza

Ive seen virtually none of the French Open in the end what with being away and no access to channels showing it. Never mind, I am already blocking out as much time as possible for watching Wimbledon! The FO wasn’t the same without Rafa anyway.

Mischance · 12/06/2023 12:34

What channel are you watching this on? - I have been trying to find it. Thanks.

Raahh · 12/06/2023 12:38

I've ben feeling at a bit of a loose end today- I've got used to watching tennis from about 10 am.
Jane I was sure I watched Stuttgart last year- but now I'm not so sure. I might be getting mixed up with Hamburg (the one with the yellow zig zaggy trophy).
I tried to watch some of the a women's match at Den Bosch- but the picture quality on Prime was fuzzy and awful so I gave up.

kazza Flowers. Not an easy task, I hope it goes smoothly.

JaneJeffer · 12/06/2023 13:12

@Mischance not sure which tournament you mean? RG was on Eurosport - which will have highlights for another couple of days, and Discovery+. Otherwise Prime has some of the women's tennis this week from The Netherlands and Nottingham I think.

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 12/06/2023 13:19

I'm trying to motivate myself Raahh. Feel like just putting everything in the bin. Where does all this crap come from? I'm sure I wouldn't miss any of it. Everything is annoying me ATM and I don't have my doggy to listen to my woes so I guess I'm going to just be a mad woman talking to herself now.

OP posts:
Raahh · 12/06/2023 13:25

Jane Flowers. I talk to my dog all the time. He gets to hear about everything. It's probably why he does a runner when he sees me get the lead.

But then, I do also talk to myself. I think everyone around here is used to me now . Grin
