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

New thread

Looks like I'm missing Draper/Norrie 😕. Will just have to take my iPad and try and watch as much as I can, or put the radio on.

I was thinking that Mac’s suit looked a bit dandruffy!

Well done Jack - managed to see the last few games (there are TV wars here - I’m being grumpy!)

Apparently they’re trying to look after the grass on court no 1 - not sure what they would have done if the matches on there had gone to 3/5 sets

Jack v Norris - not sure how exciting that will be

Claire will be orgasmic

Mac's suit is rock n roll

Matteo and Jannik are scheduled 3rd on Centre. I really wish they were not playing each other! That will be a cracking match

Ooh a Brit is playing Novak next, can Novak be the shock round 2 knockout?!🤞🏻

Yes please.

@xxSideshowAuntSallyxx we should be so lucky to see Djok out so soon! 😬😄

Yes we can hope!

There are so many matches on tomorrow - some from today and the doubles as well

I didn’t realise that Casper was playing Foggy tomorrow - hope his hair doesn’t put him off - Cobboli looked as if he might have been dabbling with the peroxide but it might have just been the sun

Also Stan and Monfils - hope it doesn’t go to five sets - that could be a tough one to watch

Wawrinka/Monfils going to five sets would be top stuff though!

Who decided Today at Wimbledon should be on past 11pm? Thats far too late for people who missed matches because they were at work or whatever

Why not put it in bbc4 or iplayer earlier or something

Computer says no

Wow!
Just so much 80s in one clip .

That computer clip is great.

It’s a shame there’s two Brit v Brit matches in round 2. I always like to see the Brits do well but this setup guarantees two will get knocked out (although it does of course guarantee that two will get through to round 3, so silver linings!). Emma will have a tougher challenge today so fingers crossed for her.

Looking forward to Matteo and Jannik but I want them both to go through!

Stan v Gael could also be a good match.

Have to go out first thing, so hope to be back in time for Casper and Foggy - though that could depend on the weather again, I suppose.

Stan and Gael is another match where I wish they were playing other people, as they both deserve a last chance to go a bit further.

Weather is cool and showery in London today.

Looks as if the covers are on the outside courts and no play until 12.15pm?

It’s still raining there now so don’t think there will be any play on the outside courts for a while yet.

They’re showing a replay of Djok. I didn’t want to watch it when it was live, let alone watch it again on a replay.

I have just got in and Chessie I said exactly the same about the Djok match

Ooh- Clive Myrie- now he could host Wimbledon, and don't think I would care if he didn't know anthing about tennis (and I bet he know more than Isa does).

BBC were talking about Jacob Fernley and how delighted he would be to be playing Djok, and I was like, are you kidding? If I were him it’s literally the last person I’d want to see next to my name in the draw.

Matteo has the worst luck with draws, he had to play Carlos last year in an early round and now Jannik. I think Jannik will beat him unfortunately as he doesn’t seem 100% fit, although I do like Jannik.

Apparently Andy Murray is playing mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu.

Ugh no double (or single) helpings of Djok thank you very much

Just seen that Emma and Andy are going to be playing mixed doubles later on in the tournament - I think he’s just trying to put off the farewell presentation

John looks like a toddler with his feet dangling like that.
