Looking forward to this year's Wimbledon - more so with the news that Dick has withdrawn. Why people adore "personalities" like him and say they're good for the game I've no idea.
Can't see anyone beating Djok sadly but will have my fingers crossed that somebody does.
No great preference for a winner in the ladies. Just hope Venus gets dispatched by Svitolina today.

I have found Musetti on court 14. It's very windy.

JaneJeffer · 03/07/2023 11:18

Hi @RaraRachael don't forget to watch Marlon crying his eyes out for the rest of the week Grin

JaneJeffer · 03/07/2023 11:18

I have ended up on Andrey somehow

Raahh · 03/07/2023 11:21

I really don't like watching it via iplayer- I know really it's not more faffy than moving around matches on Prime- but I liked having matches on the red button channels- it was easy to switch between.

Plus my internet is rubbish (and ds and dh are both working from home).

JaneJeffer · 03/07/2023 11:28

I don't know what kind of a look Max Purcell is going for. I'll chalk it up as interesting Aussie grooming.

JaneJeffer · 03/07/2023 11:29

I don't understand why they changed it Raahh it sounds like such a faff.

JaneJeffer · 03/07/2023 11:30

Andrey and Max are enjoying themselves and having little exchanges

Interesting facial hair is definitely an Aussie 'thing' isn't it?

Lorenzo, meanwhile, is still rocking his man bunGrin

The picture quality on the iplayer is rubbish - the grass looks so green on the normal BBC channels. It is a bit clunky as well

I’ve been flicking between Harriet Dart, Rublev and Musetti - looking forward to Stan the Man later - I think there will be more matches that I want to watch on tomorrow

It looks a bit chilly at Wimbledon - it’s pouring down here!

Hello! Have finally sat down for the first time on court 18 (Kudermetova v Kanepi).

When you were talking earlier about Tim and Anne being interviewed by Isa - I was wandering about in front of them taking photos!

Went to the practice courts and DD got her photo taken with Liam Broady and Felix AA. Also saw Leylah Fernandez and Caroline Garcia. Plus seen lots of others I don’t recognise!

I won’t post much as need to save battery but will be back with updates later!

Raahh · 03/07/2023 11:54

We've got heavy rain, Fizzy- and I've just spotted Dd1 went out without her coat this morning. I hope she has her ombrello. Grin

On the Musetti match, John I was discussing the famous Mahut/Isner match. Mahut is playing again this year- he's teamed up with Lloyd Glasspool- not sure what's happened to Heliovaara.

Wow!
(not jealous at allvery jealous).

JaneJeffer · 03/07/2023 12:02

That looks great Chessie

Who will Felix be playing now Krajinovic has withdrawn?

Raahh · 03/07/2023 12:04

I think he's playing Mmoh now Jane.

JaneJeffer · 03/07/2023 12:05

Hah can't wait for that pronunciation

RaraRachael · 03/07/2023 12:08

@JaneJeffer I shall record the blubfest and watch it later if there's a match I'm not that interested in 🙂

Fizzywinegum · 03/07/2023 12:14

Looks like a great view Chessie

Raahh I seem to have forgotten what to wear now that the weather is cooler/wetter! Ombrellos definitely needed here!

Andrey filled up a water bottle and gave it to a ball boy. He must have thought he looked a bit dehydrated. How does he have time to notice? Such a sweetheart.

ShakeYourFeathers · 03/07/2023 12:16

ChessieFL · 03/07/2023 11:55

My current view!

Have a wonderful day

Also not at all jealous Envy

JaneJeffer · 03/07/2023 12:17

Max is talking to himself, giving himself instructions. He's like a really gentle version of Kyrgios Grin

Fizzywinegum · 03/07/2023 12:17

Ah that’s nice from Andrey

Goffin is playing lucky loser Marozsan later (he best Alcaraz a few weeks ago)
