Tennis: Finding our feet on the grass!

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

At least watching on TV you can switch between matches easily! Bit more of a faff here if I did want to go and watch something else. Not sure how busy the other courts are now - still quite a good crowd here but lots of empty seats.

Stop it Fizzy 🤯

I wonder how the resale ticket thing works now with the online tickets?

There is definitely far too much on.

Taylor will be very disappointed if he loses early, after doing so well last year.

is the first day of Wimbledon usually this stressful?

It feels like everyone is playing today

I think it's extra stressful because I was already stressed before it began and then the rain meant everything is now on at the same time

And breathe

Fizzy I was thinking the same earlier. I feel like the whole fortnight has happened all at once.

We need a spa day to recover

They’ll be playing the middle Sunday as well so I’m not sure they need to pack everything in on the first day!

Jane they don't know what they put us through, these players.

What would it be like if Rafa was playing??!

No, unless they are expecting bad weather all week.

I remember watching at uni, in 1991. Edberg started as the defending champion, and it rained so much , it was about 3 days before his match was resolved.
It was the first year they played a middle Sunday .
They repeated a lot of old matches that week!

Well done Stan- 2 sets up.

It wouldn't be Wimbledon without Michelle Keegan

Come on Dan!

<snort>

I've put Stan on for a while

I've got th scores up on the Wimbledon website- some of the matches have an exclamation mark and say 'potential upset'

Is that a new service Raahh?

Dan has lost the first set and got a warning for an audible obscenity

Ruusuvuori isn't very good at challenges. He's lost two in the first game of the set! He does realise he's now only got one left?

Can't bear to watch Dan fall apart, so watching Stan instead.

Could be quite a few potential upsets - not looking too good for Coco

I think it must be! It's quite funny really.

Stan's hair is fluffily bouffant and looking a bit more auburn than usual. Or is it just the iplayer dodgy colour
