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

New thread

Matteo played so well-i wasn't sure how he would do after Monday, as he looked a bit injured, but this was a brilliant match.

Everybody loves him

Well done, Jannik. Good match, that. Glad to see Matteo finding some form there.

Was good to see Matteo playing well and injury free

Matteo is lovely

Well done Jannik and tough luck for Matteo. They both deserved to get to the 3rd round but such is the luck of the draw.

Jannik is a lot more confident speaking now

He is Jane, and he is lovely, a really nice bloke.

Shame that Matteo doesn't qualify for rhe Olympics- too many Italians!

We are going to be exhausted from watching tennis

Is it only Day 3?

Fizzy.

I feel like I've had no sleep at all. Had to get up early as dd2 has a school trip, and has to be at school early.

I might end up having a pre- tennis nap..

Bit disappointed to see all the quotes from the British players that they didn’t know the election was happening and won’t bother to vote. It doesn’t exactly set a good example to young people!

No, I don't find that very big or clever, either , Ice. .

I haven’t seen that. That is disappointing.

Yes, Emma was one who when asked about voting stated she was going to have a lie in today and didn't even know it was the election- like that was some kind of clever answer. Maybe it was a misjudged 'joke'. But I don't have a lot of time for anyone who wears it as a badge of honour to think not voting is something to be proud of. It comes from a place of privilege- and Emma is a very privileged young woman.

< gets off soap box>.

Isa has been on screen 30 seconds and has mangled 4 names already. I give up.

Raahh for PM

I wish Wimbledon wouldn't send emails with things like Jannik survives scare I thought something awful had happened but it was just about the match!

It says something, when I think Jo Konta does a better job. (And I'm not a fan of Jo Konta ).

Brit Brits was my favourite, she must have been a cute toddler

Jo is a very efficient type of woman!

I am in mood this morning. I am off to vote in a bit. Taking the dog. He likes going to the pollling station/church hall.

That would have worried me too, about Jannik I was very tired this morning ..

Aww that's cute

I think I prefer Jo as a presenter, than I did as a player.

It's windy there today.

But no rain.

Erm Carol- it's Henman Hill. It is ^not Murray Mound.

She looks lovely though, as usual. I aspire to look as good as Carol.

You can tell Jo is interested and knows what's happening plus when she's presenting we don't have to watch her serve

Jo's serve used to irritate me intensely. It was so strange.
