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

New thread

oh grr. Casper.

Doesn't seem to be going too well for Big Foe, but he's played big 5 set matches at Wimbledon before, so not discounting him yet.

Matteo has the chair right in front of me!!

Lovely!

Ruffle his hair.

I'm calling it now I think a Djkovic/Alcaraz final. He may have hurt his shoulder but Djkovic is still a machine. 😂

I'm torn between what to watch now.

I am hoping Matteo gets off to a good start.

Sky has gone on the blink again

I think I would probably faint

It's going well for Casper- maybe this will be the year he manages a couple of matches

Foggy has also gone blonde what’s going on!

Heather Watson is out - no shock!

I need to pick a match and just concentrate on it

You'd get on the telly then- and he'd have to get you some water.

And waft you with his hat.

I saw blonde Foggy the other day in Mallorca (not in person, on the tv )

I'm not sure it's a good look

Oh Aryna is gone

I think I would quite like to be wafted by Matteo’s hat

No I’m not sure about Foggy’s new look - it doesn’t really go with his colouring or dark beard

Shoulder injury

I've just seen that Grigor has won- last time I looked it, looked like he might lose the 3rd set, seems he turned that around.

Well done Grigor!

Oh no that’s a shame - I enjoyed watching her last year

I think that Emma’s original opponent has also withdrawn

They were talking about that earlier- how it is affecting her serve- she can do everything else, except serve really. That's a real shame.

Moutet has withdrawn

Why is Fabio's match cancelled?

Oh I see he is playing so Koepfer must have withdrawn!

Anyone else want to go (looking at you Djok)?

I think Moutet withdrew yesterday- in fact , I'm sure I read it on Saturday- and the headline in the Express was 'controversially' withdraws after the draw has been made. Yet other players still haven't made a final decision on playing.

There have been a lot of late withdrawals (and potentially Andy tomorrow)

Do players just have to hang around the first few days in case they are called up as lucky losers?

Big Foe has got a set back- I was right not to write him off

Go Big Foe!
