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

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread

Just looked up Lajal. He’s ranked 200 and something. Considering the huge ranking difference, he’s going brilliantly (even though he’s not winning).

Raahh

He does seem to be playing well Springwatch123 - I’ve not seen him before (I would definitely remember that hair!)

I'm score watching and he does seem to be holding his own, and he will pocket a nice pay cheque, even if he doesn't win. He certainly won't have embarrassed himself, and yes, everyone will remember the hair

Well done Matteo!

Well done Matteo - he plays Jannik next if he gets through his first round match

Well done Matteo.

Mo in good time for his shift

Yes Mo having a natter with his umpire colleague

Djok is down to play 2nd on centre court tomorrow and Andy is down to play third - still not sure if he’ll be able to play

😆😆😆

A bald colleague came in when I was watching and said I know I said I'd give £million to have a hair. But if that was the option then nah forget it 😁😁😁😁

Osaka seems to be giving Ostapenko a run for her money the frilly top and the strange skirt.

I've decided ADF withdrew because he jealous of Lajal's hair do.

yes he probably did Raahh - he does have a slight look of Boris also (especially when he was throwing himself around the court)

I think being bald would be preferable CrushingOnRubies

I’ve seen a picture of him with his hair down and I can’t work out which is worse - it’s giving me the heebie jeebies a bit

I know what you mean, Fizzy- I think up is better

Just catching up!
Nice view Chessie
Saw the end of Stan and Charlie. Shame he lost a run of 8 games from 5-2 up in the second. But well done
Currently watching Fery. He's doing well. Could have won in straight sets!

Not watching anything that Dick is commentating on. Which will leave me in a quandary if he's doing Andy's match (if he even plays).

Well done Carlos and Lajal - the crowd liked him - he played well

I'm glad it was a good first match- it was just the right amount of taxing for Carlos, and entertaining for the crowd- and a memorable opponent.

Yes definitely memorable

Ugh Kyrgios in the flesh - he didn’t get the smart dress code memo - he seems to be in his PJs

Tim and Clare looking very smart

kazza I know what you mean about Kyrgios - i was unimpressed by the BBC's response to the complaints they have had. Basically their reply is that- ,they have acknowledged tpeople are unhappy- , but he's been to court, it's done now- everyone else has employed him, so why can't we? - and he's just there to talk about tennis. So suck it up.
It's disappointing, but not surprising, given their record for treating women with contempt, really.

I wonder what Martina thinks?

I'm watching Mensik/Bublik- there's no commentary.

Bublik may also be erm, temperamental but I can tolerate his outbursts.

I couldn’t see anything of Matteo having his massage as his racquet bag was in the way! I am not the woman in the blue top. DD caught his sweatband though so she’s very chuffed!
we’ve now finally made it to Court 1 to see the end of Keys’ match.

Well done to DD!!
Damn that racquet bag

You got to see a good match. Hope you are both having a great day.

That's lovely for your DD Chessie 🥰

Hope she doesn’t wash it Chessie

Hmm yes Osaka’s dress is very frilly - I think someone might be missing some net curtains

I think Tsitipas is a bit temperental at times but I quite like him.

Kyrios is just a dick.

Yes fizzy just* *seen Naomi's outfit. It looks like a few off cuts have got caught on it by mistake
Azarenka has also withdrawn.

Could you not have asked for the bag to be moved Chessie Enjoy* *the rest of your day!

That's a shame about Azerenka. I like watching her play

He's nice to watch @xxSideshowAuntSallyxx

Has Ons hobbled all her practice partners?

Come on Liam!
