That's really annoying, Jane !

JaneJeffer · 19/07/2023 16:32

I'm wondering what's going to happen when prime stop showing tennis. Will we get to see anything except Wimbledon?

I'm trying to remember what/ how I used to watch things - Jane- Eurosport (by accident ) for Australia, I know i must have watched the US Open somewhere before it was on Prime. That is still on Prime this year I think .

Of course, now ITV don't do RG, so that limits that.- but at least that is Eurosport.

I couldn't really watch all the matches I watch now (which were mostly on Sky) , I think I just score watched a lot.

It's Sad

He does like pink Grin.

Just managed to put the tennis on - and Stan's math (against Munar) has just started. Stan down a break already.
Looks like Casper won his match in Bastad, so that's good.

Dj playing Sweet Caroline.

It really should be banned. Everywhere.

Watch out Holger (thighs on point)

he was born in the wrong era, Holger. He obviously would have loved the 'short shorts' era Grin.

Stan is sadly not doing well in the second set of his match, having narrowly lost the first.

JaneJeffer · 20/07/2023 18:02

I should send him a pair of O'Neills Grin

And congratulations to Denis and Mirjam!

(I hope Stef doesn't get any daft ideas, it's been 5 minutes).

He really does seem to like airing his legs Grin- he's always hoiking up his shorts leg. He should just shorten them

Some controversy at the Hungarian Open - a row over a line call leading to one player having a panic attack and the other apparently smirking and deliberately rubbing out the ball mark before the decision could be reviewed. Shows the benefits of a Hawkeye system!

JaneJeffer · 21/07/2023 11:18

Oh phew Holger is in Nice Grin

Toth has fnally apologised for her actions, apparently (and she lost her next match). A lot of players criticized her. It obviously really affected Zhang Shuai.

I switched on Prime to be faced with a banner for a new tennis -thmed drama called 'Fifteen -Love'- with Aiden Turner (Poldark) about a tennis star at the French Open.
It sounds pretty rubbish, but the Guardian write -up of it calls the acting 'mesmerizing' Grin.
I may give it a go when I'm bored. Grin

JaneJeffer · 21/07/2023 13:07

Oh yes that's the one with two Irish tennis players 🤭 very realistic. Maybe they'll do different accents.

I’ve just watched the first five minutes - I wouldn’t exactly call it mesmerising Grin - not sure if I’ll bother with the rest although I need something to fill the Wimbledon void!

I was chatting to someone at work -they went to the men’s final on Sunday - they got tickets in the ballot and it was the first time that they’d applied

Although I was very jealous it did give me faith that it is an actual ballot (and they don’t just keep the best tickets for the rich and famous!) - I’m going to apply again this year

Raahh · 21/07/2023 13:32

Fizzy I did think 'mesmerizing' might be sarcastic-Grin but the reviewer actually seemed serious I think! Unless she meant memerizingly bad.

I always see all the 'famous' types at the final, and fans who happen to be there to support the 'right' player- and it does make me wonder just how much of a 'ballot' it is.

It has to be transparent somehow, though- or Tim would be in a lot of trouble Grin

Fizzywinegum · 21/07/2023 13:41

Yes I can’t imagine Tim being involved in anything dodgy Grin

I do still wonder how many tickets are available for ‘actual’ fans but it did give me faith that at least some are! (After they’ve handed them out to Brad Pitt etc!)

Mesmerisingly bad perhaps

Raahh · 21/07/2023 13:48

Yes, it amazes me just how many famous faces there are- I wonder if they pay for tickets?

Stary Eyes Albert is playing- he reminds me sometimes of a startled pigeon. (I'm sure he's lovely).
