TENNIS: Dubai, Golden Swing, USA

[JaneJeffer]

There are films that obviously should be on at certain times , Fizzy and then there are films that I do associate with certains times of the year for no apparent reason.

I still think of Barry Took when I think of 'Points of View' , but I think he died a long time ago.

I was thinking of Barry Took as well

I think there was a Wallace and Gromit film on yesterday which is the other obligatory Bank Holiday programming. It was the rabbit one so a vague Easter theme there.

Yes, the Curse of Were-Rabbit- so at least there were bunnies.

Tomorrow looks better. The Gene Wilder version on Willy Wonka , Ben Hur and The Wizard of Oz .

Willy Wonka and The Wizard! The Easter Bunny really is spoiling us this year. That’s my Sunday sorted!!

Easter Sunday coincides with our wedding anniversary this year, and we were going to go out, but really it's too much effort (as dd2 would say). My mother has given me us a bottle of champagne, and ds is coming home to visit (because I happened to mention that the grandparents had left him Easter eggs, even though he's 21 and they said they weren't going to bother...).

I can't be bothered cooking, I might just order pizza

Happy anniversary for tomorrow Raahh! I agree that going out is far too much effort, especially on a bank holiday weekend. Staying in with champagne and Easter eggs and Willy Wonka sounds like a good plan to me!

Thanks Chessie- it definitely feels like the best plan.

Yes put your feet up Raahh it's your anniversary 🥂

I wonder if Danielle can go out on a high?

I certainly aim to try, Jane.

I've never really warmed to Danielle. It would be huge if she won this though.

She comes across as very abrasive on court but she seems nice off court and admits she's very competitive. She's been speaking about how she suffers from endometriosis recently.

The crowd seems a bit dopey again!

I know, I'm probably a bit unfair .

She's certainly been through it, health wise.

I did expect more frm the crowd, especially as she is an American!

I like that Elena has dressed to match the court.

Danielle has a chance now.

There have been some big upsets this week, no reason to think she can't produce one.

Well well.

First blood to Danielle.

Blimey - the DJ has got loud.

Nobody's going to answer Naomi

My opinion , Naomi, I don't think Elena really does 'feisty'

I don't think Elena is the vavavoom type!

No, I don't think she is at all.

But she knows how to stall a match.

the commentator was remarking earlier how calm Elena was staying. Not surprising. She's the calmest person on the planet!

She doesn't give much away, Elena, must be very disconcerting to play against, especially if you are a player who leaves everything on the court.
