TENNIS: A new champion in Paris, then on to the grass

[JaneJeffer]

Feck the trophy give me the champagne

I'm still disappointed that, given this is the Cinch Championships, Rylan has never turned up,

It would be hilarious.

Why do they give the prize money in Euros?

That is not great news, AC.

I assumed all the prize money was in dollars, to be honest

They're missing out Raahh

Tommy reminds me of someone but I can never think who

He is very generic.

An All Amercan college type.

Top commentators AC and John Lloyd were wondering why Matteo had chosen not to play at Queens - I was shouting at the telly that he didn’t get a wildcard!!!

And no Tommy Paul is not good looking! There are lots of players better looking than him (including Lorenzo)

why does it not surprise me, that they are preteding not to know?

Abrupt goodbye! New American No. 1 as well!

Not showing the doubles then.

Could anyone ever have imagined when John McEnroe was playing at Wimbledon that some day he would be the voice of the Championship? Makes me happy

Left the s off but YKWIM

Yes, he pronounces all the names so well, Jane

I just love to think of all the people who were up in arms about 'the brat' at the time seeing that ad

That's true.

And really, given what has gone on since, his behaviour was pretty tame!

He's got a bit of the actor Chris Evans about him... especially the eyes

Only watched the last part of the match but wanted Musetti to win. But well done Tommy

WTF is she doing? Cringeworthy

The amount of camera time she was getting near the end, Jane, was really funny, she seemed to be mooching around waiting to pounce for her photo op. I've never seen partners invited onto court before- unless the player was retiring/ there was a big reason for it. Who did she think she was? I am not sure she was actually invited come to think of it...

Apparently she's an 'influencer' and we're not the only ones who think it's cringey-I've seen lots of comments along the lines of her acting as though she'd won it/was a Love Island contestant/ Kardashian.

If he wins at Wimbledon, she will be chucked out, if she tries that again.

It's not very British <hoicks bosom>
.

(and she's nowhere near as cute as baby Rafa- or indeed any tennis off-spring!).

Unfortunately, didn't watch any tennis yesterday, so didn't see the trophy presentation but I did see that photo last night. And thought much along the same lines as the rest of us Didn't know there was now a mixed doubles event at Queen's! The tournament director needs to have a word.

Watched the Federer programme last night. Does his family often talk to each other in English or was it just for the benefit of the cameras? Very envious of bi/multi lingual people. Too much Djok for my liking but was childishly happy that Andy got more and bigger hugs from Roger than Djok did
What Andy was saying about how and when to retire was all the more poignant given what he is currently going through
His introduction of Djok at the LC dinner still makes me laugh

The seedings for Wimbledon are out. Djok is No.2, so he will completely bugger up the draw if he withdraws at the weekend. I've seen the photos of him practicing at Wimbledon, with his knee support. I wish he'd just go away.

I didn’t watch the presentation so missed that - why is she holding the bloody trophy as if she’s won the tournament

Andy’s Laver Cup introduction of Djok on the Fed doc is funny (Djok sort of laughs but I don’t think he finds it as funny as everyone else). I think that he tries to go in for the big hug with Rog but Rog isn’t really up for it

It’s really annoying that he’s just hanging around at Wimbledon - if he withdraws it will mess all the seedlings up (I’m sure he’s done this before) - still not sure if Andy will play

Good win for Harriet Dart after over 3 hours (and suffering with her wisdom tooth!) at Eastbourne. She was quite nervous at times and her ball toss seemed a bit off, but she stuck at at it.

Billy 'Arris had a nother win (but he did beat a Brit )

Naomi has got the yellow memo, nice shade of lemon.

I didn't see the trophy ceremony for Berlin (which Pegula won) since Sky were skipping from one tournament to another evey 5 seconds. But the trophy is up there with one of the most batshit.
it's a BEAR!
