TENNIS - green, green grass, blue, blue sky, wide, wide seats as we head towards July

My DM will be complaining about Clare’s coordinating tops and necklace combos! She’s not a fan

Well , the batshit thead has been deleted.

Either the OP realised how wrong they are, or MNHQ got spammed with reports.

oh we are very sensible.

I think it was a windup merchant

That trophy must be made of papier mache- because there is no way it can be that size, and solid anything- and he can hold it that long

Jane had to be. No-one is that stupid. Surely.

These two are very boring to listen to

This is where I need Mac to come wandering in

They really are.

I think it's because the coverage is til 5. And heaven forbid they actually show the doubles. We must listen to these two drone instead.

Well done to Cash and Glasspool!

And Olivia Nicholls and her partner won the German Open, beating Errani and Paolini!

What a woman!

That's lovely !

I missed all the tennis today. So happy about Sasha winning Halle. Sorry Daniil, I actually need him in Djok’s draw

I am a bit disappointed I also missed what sounds like an absolutely bonkers tennis AIBU.

Ice it was crackers. Not sure it was a wind up- or someone who got their wires very, very crossed!

Good matches to start off Eastbourne today, and be interesting to see how the 'new kid' Justin Engel gets on in Mallora - he's playing Tien, who's only 19 himself, so more like a juniors match

Can't quite believe Wimbledon starts next week- where is the time going?

I’ve just seen part of the trophy ceremony at Halle - it was a lot more restrained at Queens - the players weren’t even allowed to open their bottles of fizzy English wine and I’m sure that eyebrows would have been raised if they’d started pouring it over each other and guzzling from the bottle

That Carlos thread was so weird!

I also can’t believe that Wimbledon starts next week Raahh - when I tell people that I’m going they always ask me who I’m going to see - I try to be patient with them!

It's hard to explain that you can't just choose a match It's not like buying a ticket to a league football match.

I'm hoping no more of my favourite players drop out this week- but I'm bracing myself for news that Matteo Berrettini might not make it (again). I hope Musetti is ok.

The difference in the trophy ceremonies between Halle and Queen's was funny- but at least this year it was about the players at Queen's and Carlos didn't have a girlfriend hanging around his neck and hogging the pictures, like TP did (that was very strange).

It looks lovely in Mallorca

It does. I am flipping from Mallorca to Eastbourne- but that's on iplayer, so a bit of a faff to find.

The machines are not always right.

'shorter fuses'

oh no, that doesn't look good for Martinez.

I put it on and then wandered off doing stuff. Well done Moutet

Yes, I did the same
Both seemed to have injury problems, Pedro did well to continue to the end really.

Nice words from Corentin in the interview.

It's Diallo/ Munar next. I feel like I've seen Gabriel play a lot recently.

The Dj is having a party in Mallorca.

Good win for Dan earlier but it looked even windier in Eastbourne than is usual! Lots of struggling with ball tosses!
