TENNIS: Never mind the snow, make like a seagull and catch some rays at the AO

[JaneJeffer]

very late to the party but well done Jannik! Felt sorry for Medvedev

I can’t believe it’s still January - it really has been going on forever! Next week will be very boring without the tennis - might have to do some housework (or maybe not!)

At least The Masked Singer is still on (this doesn’t help me at all - I had to leave my DM’s early last night as I couldn’t bear to watch it!)

Maybe Tales of the Unexpected?

Oh you're missing a treat Fizzy I laughed my head off at the dancing Highland Coos

Jane the backing dancers are some of the best bits on TMS - the attention to detail is very funny.

*Fizzy you really need to watch it. It's better than The Wigs - honest

Aww I wish they would change their mind about Starstruck and Olly could do with the work after The Voice gave him the boot. How am I supposed to stay cheeky if nobody reminds me?

I know, Jane- I had forgotten to 'Stay Cheeky' til you mentioned it .

It can't have been that expensive to make- they recycled all the wigs and outfits, and none of the acts looked like they were meant to - and Jason Manford will turn up to anything.
Maybe Adam Lambert demanded mega bucks for the humiliation of being attached to it ?

I think Adam's wardrobe probably broke the bank

yup-that's why the wigs were so cheap!

I’ve seen enough already Raahh - I noticed that cricket had dancing ladybirds last night which put me off! I also found a hibernating one in my car yesterday which also freaked me out!

My sister and niece love the Masked Singer (they also liked the wig programme) but I don’t think it’s for me

Of course- you don't like ladybirds!

There were dancing chips...

I like chips

There you go then!
Dancing chips!

I think I am tennis-ed out and slightly hysterical

Watching Andy vs Beardy Benoit in Montpellier, on Tennis TV. Not sure about the court colour! I'm sure Benoit dyed his beard that pink a couple of years ago

I miss Beardy Benoit.

I cannot justify signing up to anything else to watch anything this week.

Well, I'm saying that today, depends how bored I get as the week goes on...

I've actually discovered the tennis on a channel that was cunningly disguising itself as Live WTA tennis, which is why I ignored it (because earlier it was showing an interview with Judy). No doubt the only reason they are showing this is because it is Murray- and they will show no more of Montpelier all week

And the pink court side is exactly the colour that Bob the Builder always uses whenever they concrete over something.

We don't have Sky, Eurosport etc so DS set this up before he went back to uni, after the loss of Prime. £99.99 for 13 months and DS set it up so I can watch via the tv, which I can't do with Discovery+

There is supposed to be a way I can watch Discovery via the tv- but I can't work it out- I can watch on the laptop and phone.

To be honest, most of the 250 tournaments weren't on Prime anyway, but I'm still cross about it

But it's the final of Only Connect- so I will leave Beardy to it

Probably a good call Raahh
Looks* *like Murray is about to be broken!

Oh cheers I found it under 'Live Tennis' I see what you mean about the pink kazza

Only €8?

Well done Benoit. It's been a while! Andy looks very down after that.

Benoit not happy with being interviewed in English at a French tournament!

I was laughing at the middle aged woman in the front row who seemed to believe she was his coach

Why do I bother watching Murray??!!
That was Benoit's first win on the ATP tour in about 18 months!

Cute
