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

Thanks fizzy
The AELTC wouldn't know what hit them

Yes, I saw the Stan video when he said he bought the Wimbledon trophy, to complete his collection

I keep wondering that.

Next time Claire goes round to dog sit , she needs to check out the garage.

But I bet he never did.

All talk, those Boss men.

I would trust you with the scheduling (although you do tend to favour the Brits )

I think Stan was being funny when he said that he’d now got all four trophies with the mini Wimbledon one

It does get overlooked- that Stan is also a 3 times slam champion- like Murray- and that he has won 3 out of the 4.

But he is just the 'second best Swiss player' .

Poor Stan

I’d forgotten that Stan had won the AO as well

He beat Rafa, Fizzy how could you forget that one!!

Yes Raahh. No* *doubt I would be called sexist (despite being a woman!) but, as you say, it's bloody common sense, especially when the backlog of matches is getting longer and the weather forecast is not exactly great It's not rocket science!

I don’t know Raahh!

Yes, I am usually patriotic fizzy but* *even I wouldn't put Boulter vs Dart first on No1 Court tomorrow. Followed by Draper vs Norrie.

It's baffling, kazza, they know the forecast, they must ( as we can) be able to kind of predict how a match will go when they see it in a draw. There aren't that many upsets.
But no- can't risk people calling them out for maybe prioritising too many men's matches, even though those are the ones that are most affected. They are 5 sets!!

Pfffftt

All the Brits will soon cancel each other out .

Rune v Seyboth Wild tomorrow - could be interesting

I hope Mac isn't commentating on that Fizzy, the potential for mispronouncing the names is huge.

Come on Holger!

No pressure Matteo

Hopefully no Mac commentating - they’re both a bit lively though

Jannik could potentially win if he breaks in the next game - not sure if I can manage a fifth set if it goes there

If Matteo manages to level this match, I wonder if they will start the next set tonight, or come back tomorrow?

OMG this match.

I'm not sure how many games they would get played before 11, and would they want to stop mid set?

I suppose there are still 45 minutes at the moment.

Feels like either a tie break or Matteo breaks and wins the set

Jannik is getting a bit annoyed. Matteo playing out of his skin right now. This is good stuff.

It was so close in the first 2 sets, but it still felt like Jannik's match. Nor so sure now, though he's technically still winning.

Maybe if it goes to two sets all they might finish then Raahh as it would be unlikely they’d be able to finish the match - eek 5 all!

They've let the people from Henman Hill come in to watch which is nice - wonder how many people will complain to the Beeb about them not showing Miranda (from a hundred years ago!)

I think Matteo knows he might not get so many more bites at the Wimbledon strawberry cherry.

I'm sure they got a few complaints ( all from Claire).
Nice they let the Hill people in.
That makes them sound like Hobbits.
