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

Bless- she can't even celebrate!

No

No men?

I've put Mallorca on

Well done Alejandro. I ended up missing it all.

Uncle Toni!

Now there's a man who knows what's going on!

ADF has withdrawn, so that backs up why he withdrew from Eastbourne. He has a back injury, apparently. That's a shame, I do like ADF.

That’s a shame - I think he was due to play Seb Korda so that was on my possible one to watch list

I’m still trying to work out my viewing strategy tomorrow (basically sitting on the settee and flicking between matches!)

I want to watch Matteo’s match and Stan is playing a Brit - I’m hoping that the iplayer will be showing all matches but I can’t remember if they do that?

I watched the Andy Murray bbc doc earlier - it made me a bit teary - I’m not sure if he will be able to play at Wimbledon this year but I think it will be sad if he can’t have a proper farewell there. I’m sure that a certain other person will have miraculously recovered enough to play

I was reading about the Wimbledon expansion plans - apparently a local resident had their protest posters taken down in the middle of the night by a mysterious figure dressed in black (hope it wasn’t Tim)

I watched the Murray programme this evening aswell. Quite nostalgic and a reminder of everything he has achieved. He really deserves a decent send off but I'm not sure his body will let him. He said he's leaving it to Monday evening to decide.

Marking place for the next fortnight's antics.

I am in the office today so won’t be watching any tennis. Hope you have a great day Chessie!

Enjoy your day, Chessie- hope the weather is good (though you have the roof, so that's ok - raining in the north west ).
Hope your DD at least gets a glimpse of Matteo in the flesh

I should get to see a fair bit, though I can't work out what will be on where (can't deal with iplayer, much preferred the red button).

Was planning to be productive and do useful things this morning before plnking myself in front of the tv. But I've walked the dog, and have now got myself a coffee and several biscuits.

Might be it til the school run.

Have a great day Chessie - I’m v

I too was hoping to be productive this morning Raahh but I seem to have come to a standstill already

I’ve just seen that BBC2 coverage starts at 10.30am with Isa so I might give that a miss

I think I’ll stick to the iplayer - I think I did that last year and it’s good for avoiding Clare and Isa talking nonsense - they usually just show the match

i think our streaming has got quite a long delay though - we didn’t know that England had scored until about 5 minutes after it had happened last night!

Happy Wimbledon everyone

The weather is atrocious here today so I hope it's a lot better in London!

I miss Rafa

Of course he's still there Carlos, worse luck

I miss Rafa, too Jane

Not so keen on the matching pink suits, Isa and Anne.

Pfft. the Djok surgery. .

Me too

Isa is annoying me already - stop it with the Alcarath!

Morning all!

We have our front row seats on court 12, just behind the umpire and the players’ seats so we’ll be staying here until Matteo’s on! Saw him at a distance walking off the practice courts. Saw Carlos practicing as well at a distance. Stan walked right past me and I asked for a photo but he ignored me. Security woman said he never does photos apparently.

Weather was lovely earlier but clouded o er now so hope it stays dry!

Maria Sakkari has just walked on.

Jack's dog is cute

Ooh- busy morning already- Chessie !

- he did manage to diss all of his tennis mates who have named their pets after Rafa though

We were first through the gates and went straight to the practice courts so got a good spot there!

That is true- and I did agree with Isa- there is nothing wrong with calling your dog Rafa. Even Serena did

Stan can be bribed with wine Chessie

Isa and Anne are twinning today
