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

Meh!

Gael v Stan - combined age of 77 years and 37 days - and we still want to watch it

I like it when it goes into the evening though as it means I can properly watch it instead of having it on at the same time as working.

Come on Matteo

I’m hoping that next week will be a bit more relaxing - there are just too many matches going on in the first week - I feel a bit frazzled!

Late evening matches is what Wimbledon is all about.

Even though I've usually been sitting here since 10.30am

It's the trying to find matches that gets to me. At least I know this one isn't going to be taken off! Hopefully.

Nice to see Mirka.

RG is even worse- they start showing matches at 10am sometimes (UK time) and I can still be sitting here watching til late into the night.

Struff is playing as well - the Tsitsipas brothers are also playing doubles - not sure that I can cope with that family dynamic!

Mirka’s there! Where’s Rog?

Jane I hate it now it's not on the 'proper' red button channels- having to go in and out of iPlayer is a pain, and the chopping and changing between matches on the BBC is annoying. They don't care about what people are watching- and rhe endless re-caps. .

The iplayer lies about which matches it’s showing - whatever I clicked on today was either Emma Radacanu or Clare talking about Emma!

Roger's probably hobnobbing in the back somewhere with the tournament bigwigs. Or filming another advert with Zendaya .

Tim is not invited.

yes Rog will be schmoozing - probably with Anna Wintour

It's the constant iPlayer adverts for shit US shows that's annoying me

Brainwashing.

It was so nice to watch the Ruud match.

No-one mentioned Emma or Andy at all.

Rafa got a mention- someone was wearing his academy shirt in the crowd.

I don't get adverts on iplayer.

Anna Wintour

Paolini is doing well, I'm glad she's backing up her recent results, and Struff still doing well too.

This match could go on til the curfew, at this rate.

Come on Matteo!

I wasn't expecting the break, Fizzy - though I'm almost expecting what Robbie would call 'a boomerang break' back

I still don’t think that Jannik looks comfortable on grass (but still think he will win this match)

Eek

At least he's not falling over today. He looks like Bambi on Ice when he falls over.

We need Robbie.

Boomerang.

Robbie was right!

Yes he has got a look of Bambi!

Jasmine has won, on Italian day.
