Tennis: Finding our feet on the grass!

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

Mahut is 41. Do these people know nothing .

<mutters>

Mahut/Martin sadly lost the match against Lehecka/Fritz- but it was pretty tight.

DS1 likes Big Foe and his bold tops so they must be the ‘in thing’

I think this one is slightly different from hus raspberry ripple top?

He looks a bit tired - apparently he features in one of the Netflix programme episodes and it’s really good - not sure when I’ll get round to watching that! (Probably on Blue Monday - the day after Wimbledon )

The music is rubbish - at least if you’re going to play music commit to it and play some ABBA!

Well done Seb

Well done Seb. Good to see him back and playing well.

I've been half watching Sonego/Sinner in Halle. Lorenzo took the first set on atie break.

The grass (which looked bad at the start of the week) looks terrible now! Be completely brown by Saturday.

Poor Diego is struggling

Not had much luck this year Diego, even on clay. Which is a shame.

Fergus getting pissed off with the crowd

I see Jannick got through his match then. I've just turned on Fritz/Mannarino. Andrew Cotter appears to be commentating from very far away.

I think Adrian should be wearing a hat in the sun- I hope he's got good sun screen.

It doesn't help he keeps talking when the crowds are cheering.

Is this music an attempt to attract 'the youth' to watch tennis - because I don't really think they are considering their on site audience.

Mannarino looks like he dragged his kit out of the bottom of the laundry basket.

Haven't seen any tennis for a couple of days and have only just caught up with 2 days worth of your wonderful witterings
Had to quickly look on my phone at Mannarino's laundry kit. Yep, I agree
Also scrolled back to Fergus. You just know he's desperate to shout "Just sit down. Anywhere. I don't care where, you morons. Just sit the fuck down!!"

DS has just finished watching the Mo Show, otherwise known as Skupsi and Koolhof winning. Apparently, Mo was bigging his part up and drawling more than ever

Still hoping Feli gets one of the last wild cards

And yes, Sue is superior to the butterfly fancier in every possible way. Tennis player, commentator, host, human being.....

Hello, can I join you?
Looks like Mannarino is putting a fresh top on!
Who is commentating with Cotter?

Poor Fergus. Andrew Cotter is realising he's get fed up.

Yep, just sit your arses anywhere.

Or leave.

The darker top is a slight improvement for Mannarino.

Still has an air of 'forgot to put p.e kit in the wash, and I've got an extra practice today.'

I think it's Kyle Edmund.
he was with Liam Broady yesterday, but it's definitely not him.

And welcome, Super by the way.

(Be warned, we often wander off on a non tennis related tangent).

I love a tangent.

Have to say Cotter is a much more restful commentator than Andrew castle! All that weird chat yesterday!

I do like listening to Cotter. I used to watch his videos on twitter during the lockdowns- of him commentating on his dogs. .

Why is Claire so shocked that Carlos is popular? She seemed to think everyone would be surprised by the welcome he got from the crowd the other day as well

Jane Yeah, that total unknown, world number 1, Carlos Alcaraz....

Oh goody, I will look forward to hearing all about Lehecka then, AC.

Again.
