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!

I haven't been watching much of Nottingham- but I have foundthis website which helpfully lists all the commentators from the last matches on the BBC.
I think one of the Australian commentators was Louise Pleming, but I don't know if she was is the one people mean or if she's done Nottingham. Abigail Johnson is listed- but she's English, and I'm sure I've heard her before and I don't think she really has an 'accent' as such and isn't as whispery as Sue 'Wispa' Grin

Just catching up with thread and haven't seen any tennis today, tho' saw Andy yesterday and the spicy end of Dart vs Boulter. Wonder what that was about Hmm

Yes, the annoying woman commentator has a weird accent that wanders all over the place!

ChessieFL · 17/06/2023 16:54

An all British women’s final in Nottingham!

Apparently the Boulter - Dart tension was because when Boulter won she looked towards her team and tapped her head twice, which apparently is a thing she does) and Dart thought it was a gesture directed at her.

Yep - me too Grin(Where do they find these people??)

I'm expecting Claire to be really good seeing as her wife said she was in the top five intelligence bracket on Celebrity Gogglebox last night

JaneJeffer · 17/06/2023 18:59

When was this recorded?

OP posts:
Raahh · 17/06/2023 19:00

I think they are repeats because I remember one from the other week. I was very disappointed Grin I need to get out more..

Raahh · 17/06/2023 19:02

Chris Moyles stopped looking like Chris Moyles years ago. Some people don't actually suit drastic weight loss (controversial opinion maybe).

Raahh · 17/06/2023 19:04

Apparently this episode is from November- which is after Sue had already stepped down from Wimbledon (and it was pretty much a done deal that Claire was taking over).

JaneJeffer · 17/06/2023 19:07

Maybe Claire was afraid they would change their minds Grin

Chris looked even more gaunt after his time on I'm a Celebrity last year

OP posts:
Raahh · 17/06/2023 19:17

Grin yes Claire may have been a bit nervous.

Chris really can afford to get any smaller.

JaneJeffer · 17/06/2023 19:31

Raahh · 17/06/2023 20:00

The song is called Stone to head (I think)

Raahh · 17/06/2023 20:00

Wow Grin Catchy.

It reminds me of working at the record shop -and after months of having to play Christmas music we would rebel on Christmas Eve and try and sneak in some 'Cradle of Filth'.
