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

He's only 28!

I've never seen Jannik challenge so much!

Oh no!

Oof.

Forza Matteo!

Brilliant

Wow!

A flipping tie break.

Matteo does not seem to be any good at tie breaks.

This is a great match. It is almost too good for a second round.

But we knew Matteo was a dangerous 'floater' in the draw, and this has been proved.

Hope that Jannik wasn’t using tactical challenges

Come on Matteo (his last two tiebreaks were rubbish)

In my new scheduling role, if Matteo wins this tiebreak, I will suspend the match immediately.

You're hired.

I'm just thinking I haven't seen the Carota Boys posting about Wimbledon. Have they disbanded?

Whatever you say Ma'am

Ugh.

Aww. I hope not.

It's not that I don't like Jannik. I really, really do, but this match deserves a 5th set.

It deserves a fifth set - I like them both with a slight favouring towards Matteo (Jannik will have plenty more chances I’m sure)

Well done Jannik.

And Matteo- such a shame they played each other.

Well done Jannik. It's so lovely to have Matteo back.

Deserved, in the past tense.

Oh what a shame for Matteo - great match

Well done Jannik. Sad for Matteo.

Well done Jannik but really feel for Matteo. Wish this wasn't a second round match.
