Tennis: Finding our feet on the grass!

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

ooh, what happened?

The last point was a hawk eye decision. Call was out and it was in

oh, that is a bit rubbish.

I thought there might have been a hug or a bit more warmth between Elina and Venus especially as it’s likely to be her last match at Wimbledon - I don’t like it when the last point of a match is a challenge

Glad to see that normal Stan service has resumed

Elina was perfectly within her rights to challenge it and anyone could see it was in with their own eyes. I think she then felt bad because it was Venus! Venus was not impressed though, very frosty handshake. She could have been a bit warmer. Disappointing. She did well with an injury and everything but I guess she is just so competitive. I still love her though

Well done Elina. She had a baby in October you know

It took me so long to type that, you said the same thing Fizzy

Didn't they use to replay the point?? When did that not become a thing?

And yes as Fizzy said I lit could well be Venus' last match at Wimbledon and it wasn't really the way such an icon should have gone out

Venus is going on though. She wants to be the first 50 year old at Wimbledon!

The umpire for Coco’s match has a lovely deep voice.

Whenever I see Kenin she reminds me so much of Gemma from Corrie

And Felix is out.

Not what he would have wanted. (all ended a bit quickly that one, after 3 tight sets).

His voice is great! Can imagine it's even better in real life

Oh no I like Felix

I still don’t fully understand the rules about whether or not points should be replayed after a challenge Shake

It takes me ages to type as well Jane so I’m usually replying to old posts (probably like this one!)

She always seems very sullen , Kenin. I'm sure she's lovely.

Kader Nouni in the flesh Chessie you are being spoilt!

She is actually nice

Well done Elina. She had a baby in October you know 😁😁 I reckon Elina is on Mumsnet. Watching those threads about travelling with babies and how to juggle babies and works and busy training schedules

I like this umpires voice as well - it’s very mellow!

Oh no poor Felix - he’s really been struggling recently

That's a shame for Felix

Stan, Dan and Coco. What to watch?

Oh he has a fabulous voice.

Sometimes the umpires are as entertaining as the players.

Dan is playing now - Taylor Fritz looks to be struggling a bit and I think Bublik is playing as well - there’s too much tennis!

Thank you Jane I was wondering what his name was!

I love the way he says Deuce.

Aargh!

The aargh was to too much tennis at once not you Chessie!

Pella v Coric has just started as well Jane
