Tennis: WIMBLEDON: rain, rain go away

[JaneJeffer]

They just queue them up Shake they always manage to get there eventually plus now they can play on middle Sunday

Claire had to come in became Isa ran out of chat?

Ahhh ok makes sense

I don’t think there’s been much rain at Wimbledon for the last few years (since they got the roof!) so it’s a bit unusual for there to be no play - they do usually catch up eventually

It did look as if it was clearing up a bit (I think)

They had some terrible years pre roof. I don't know how they managed it! But we got Ivanisevic Monday which was great.

Hello all! I've not managed to watch tennis for aaaages.

Happy for Ash - the baby is adorable.

My girls & I are watching Rybakina's match. Bad start has turned around well.

Hi Grouchy good to see you

Domi needs some white undies

Talking of undies, I was quite surprised yesterday not to see any of the women wearing dark undershorts. All those I saw still wore white. I wondered if there might have been some sort of agreement that they would all wear dark ones so it wouldn’t be obvious if someone needed to wear them.

had to go out- well done to Elena. Got home to see the Thiem match being shown- now it's switched to Ons.

I know Ons was worried about the dark underwear signalling that someone was on their period so yes I'm surprised they didn't all just wear them all the time Chessie

Mind you I don't know why Ons was bothered because she would just tell them straight if she was

She doesn't mince her words, Ons.

Checking in.

Wht's with the tennis racket??

How do I get the old yellow tennis ball?

Rybakina was wearing black shorts.

Sorry- just checking it still works.

Type [tennis ] magi- no space.

Looks like a ball to me magi

magi's emoji looks like a tennis racquet to me too.

<tests>

Oh spooky- this has happened before. Magi's looks like a racquet to me, Jane

I remember something odd going on with the balls before, and it made the thread a bit strange

I even went on the mobile site to check and it's still a ball must be a desktop thing

On my laptop, the emoji's show a ball- but it's a racquet when you press it.

🎾

My head hurts.

Tennis ball here!

Weird

I'm using a laptop and the emoji makes a ball for me, but magi's is still a racquet. Computers are dicks.
