Rachel has clearly never watched a slam in her life, if she didn't know about all gthe kerfuffle before (some) finals.

I hate TNT Grin

Come on Dan! Now hold your serve this time!

What do you think fizzy? It's* *AC Hmm

I've noticed the BBC have started their main coverage as they mean to go on, by waffling - instead of already going to the match in play.

And now I've seen Big Foe's shorts.

And once again- I will ponder- what the hell is that thing on Dan's shirt meant to be? Is a lion? a sea horse?

I managed to find it on the iplayer Raahh - were they discussing Big Foe’s shorts? They are definitely a talking point!

well done Dan - I’m still not convinced about music between games - it seems wrong especially at a grass court tournament (I’m an old grump)

Raahh · 16/06/2025 13:12

I have only just turned onto BBC2 (to a discussion first of all between Clare and Annabel about yesterday) - so I don't know if the shorts have been discussed. But they are interesting.

I like his top though. Big Foe can pull off sleeveless.

Yes Dan!!

I've kept it on iplayer Raahh

Tiafoe's shorts are awful.
Much prefer Dan's kit the last few years.

Oh, just got chucked out of iplayer, so now on BBC2 anyway.

Fantastic rally!
Come on Dan!

Fizzy music at Queen's just doesn't seem British Grin
It's a slippery slope to 'Sweet Caroline'.

AC and John Lloyd haven't mentioned the shorts.

I'm not a fan of music at changeovers. It doesn't seem right in these genteel surroundings. Grin

Raahh · 16/06/2025 13:16

Ok, I'm going with Frances turned up without shorts and made them from his hotel curtains- like 'The Sound of Music',

There can be no other explanation.

I’m watching on TennisTV because it eliminates all the BBC waffle.

Carlos has been on holiday in Ibiza again, but he said he’s getting too old to stay out after midnight. He’s 22 Grin

Foe obviously didn’t get the memo that when you have a big bum you need to avoid busy patterns. I do like the burgundy colour though.

Fizzywinegum · 16/06/2025 13:29

Grin Yes they do look a bit home made out of curtains - he can definitely pull off the sleeveless look though

Yes I think the only sound at a grass court tournament should be the gentle popping of corks and the clink of glasses - if they introduce music at Wimbledon I will not be happy! (Please no Sweet Caroline!)

Fizzywinegum · 16/06/2025 13:30

Oh Carlos! Grin

kazzaD66 · 16/06/2025 13:44

Brilliant Dan! Well done.

IceandIndigo · 16/06/2025 13:45

Well done Dan. Great win for him.

Fizzywinegum · 16/06/2025 13:47

Well done Dan!

IceandIndigo · 16/06/2025 13:55

Holger’s sunburned nose!

IceandIndigo · 16/06/2025 13:58

That mascot must be boiling.

Raahh · 16/06/2025 14:42

I've just seen that RBA won his match- he looked like he was in trouble against Borges.

And Daniil safely through in Halle.

What happened to Arnaldi?

Raahh · 16/06/2025 14:46

He's injured his ankle, I think they said, Jane.

I love Andrew Cotter. Don't think he's keen on the electronic line calling.
