TENNIS: Get the Pimms ready - it’s nearly Wimbledon time!

New thread

Hope you have a great day on Monday Chessie Matteo and Marton is an attractive match in more ways than one!

It always takes me a few days to get my head round the draw. I see Paul Judd is playing Seyboth Wild. I wonder what Mac calls him?

Diminutive? Excuse me?

I see Ajla will play Jelena. I predict a battle.

Apparently Ons forgot the all white rule for practice and got sent off to change

Anyone in the Fulham area with a few banana skins handy? DS says Djok is currently playing Daniil at the Hurlingham Club.
Injury, my arse

In Instagram news, Matteo has been doing some topless barbecuing and Iga has been playing with Lego!

Hmm even if Djok does slip he’ll miraculously bounce back up - he’ll definitely be playing with that easy draw

I’m getting excited about Wimbledon now - hopefully no one will try and make me do anything for the next two weeks - some good sounding first round matches

I dread to think how Mac will pronounce Seyboth Wild - I still don’t know how they get that pronunciation from those words

I think I love both these things.

Oh and Rafa has been given a toy boat which he is apparently very, very excited about!

Topless barbecuing you say? 👀

Iga was doing Lego on the Netflix doc

I am very jealous of Iga’s Lego set.

Joining you. Wimbledon is my annual holiday, my happy place I go to forget the shitshow that is the world although I have to say this year that is NOT going to be easy but half a gallon of Pimms will defo help! And a ton of strawberries and some fiiiiiine tennis (ABDjok obvs). 😂

I've already realised that Tuesday is a write off- DD2 has a hospital appointment , and since I spent ages chasing it up (and she's not been seen for 2 years!) I could hardly cancel on the basis that it's Wimbledon

Well done to Daria- I think Jasmine has done well on a surface she has not played much on.

Billy is taking it to a 3rd set- and they aren't going to Flog It ! on BBC2 - so they must think he's worth sticking with

Paul Jubb is a break down in his first set against Ofner.

I have it on but my attention span is zero at the moment

Paul Jubb has just lost in Mallorca

Michael Portillo is on BBC2 now and it looks as if Billy ‘arris lost - back to the camper van

Monday’s order of play is out already - Medvedev, Sabalenka and Sinner are on court No 1 - not a bad line up Chessie

Thanks Fizzy yes that’s not bad! Disappointed not to get Matteo or Emma though. Hopefully we’ll spot them on the practice courts!

Bring earplugs if you're going to Sabalenka Chessie

Well done Daria!

Martina and the ball girl both looking lovely

That made me cry, why I do not know!

Leylah is so lovely

Daria's girlfriend not coming down to help her hold the trophy?

I could only half watch the final, but the bits I saw were good. I like them both . Lovely to see Martina too. Was funny when Leylah nearly got the wrong bottle .

How very disappointing! Seems Daria can manage the trophy all by herself.
