Holger not happy with the court - it is grass Holger!

Fizzywinegum · 17/06/2024 15:14

James Keothavong just trying to explain the nature of grass to Holger

JaneJeffer · 17/06/2024 15:15

He might feel better now he's had a little moan

Damn it Holger

Well done Jordan

Oh dear Holger - well done Tache man!

Now for Norris - might do a bit of hoovering!

Raahh · 17/06/2024 16:25

Just got in- shame about Holger- (although I do have a soft spot for twinkly eyed Jordan ).

Come on Milos! He always has short shorts- but I think that has more to do with the fact he has very long legs and has never really bothered to get shorts long enough fit, rather than as a fashion statement. Grin.

Raahh · 17/06/2024 16:43

Pfft. Come on Milos!!

Raahh · 17/06/2024 17:02

I am getting more and more irritated by commentators saying 'dubs' instead of doubles .

Stop it. It's childish. It's not a difficult word to say. Stop it.

Raahh · 17/06/2024 17:53

Oh good, I am glad that AC has reminded us yet again of the Norris backstory.

Come on Milos!

Raahh · 17/06/2024 17:57

Ugh. Tie Break.

JaneJeffer · 17/06/2024 17:58

The football has taken over again.

I saw the end of Daniil's match in Halle. The automated call system was playing up and causing delays. Even the umpire looked exasperated. I'm beginning to think all the lines people who got laid off are hobbling the machines Grin

I thought Claire- New Voice of Doom- was going to put on House of Games, but she didn't.

I think Milos is going to blow this on the tie break, having served dozens of aces up to now.

I think the poor line judge who kept getting in the way of Milos' s serve is probably putting in for redundancy first thing Grin.

Raahh · 17/06/2024 18:09

Phew! well done Milos!

JaneJeffer · 17/06/2024 18:11

How are they going to cope without Norris?

Raahh · 17/06/2024 18:12

They we be on countdown until the Murray match now, Jane.

Fizzywinegum · 17/06/2024 18:50

Oh no - no more Norris! What will we do

Not wanting to be the voice of doom but I can’t see Andy or Dan Evans going too far either

Apparently Matteo wasn’t given a wildcard - they were all given to Brits - he wasn’t able to qualify either as he was in the final yesterday - poor Matteo Sad

Jamie Murray is the tournament director - I’m sure Andy would have been given a wildcard anyway …

Raahh · 17/06/2024 18:58

I did wonder why Matteo decided to go to Halle- when he's a 2 time former (recent) Queen's champion. That's pretty poor show, really.

Fizzywinegum · 17/06/2024 19:01

I think he would have preferred to come to Queens Raahh - it is a bit rubbish - yes he’s won it twice and he is very popular (with me anyway Grin)

Raahh · 17/06/2024 19:10

Oh, I agree. I think there have always been players who have gone to one or the other. Not giving Federer a wild card was how Queen's lost the chance to have him play there. Look how that turned out Grin

I think it's pretty sad that Matteo has now gone to Halle.

I hope he's gone on his bike.

Fizzywinegum · 17/06/2024 19:13

Grin - I wonder if Jack has got his own bike yet?

Raahh · 17/06/2024 19:18

I hope so- how embarrassing for Mr Boss man they will have had a minion somewhere personalising one overnight.

Did he say he wanted an all black one?

Raahh · 17/06/2024 19:22

ADF does a lot of diving around on the court- rather like his lookie likey 'Bonking Boris'.

Raahh · 17/06/2024 19:23

Should have stayed on his feet though- Tabilo takes the set.

IceandIndigo · 18/06/2024 12:03

I missed all the action yesterday. I see there’s been some controversy about the courts at Queens being slippery, at least it’s dry in London this week, what more do they want!
