Dan was very rude to Jenson yesterday at the net. There was no need for it.

Yes, I saw that on SM.
It was very un-British of Dan not to just accept the "well played" platitude at the net and quite funny when he said he played rubbish but he didn't need to continue the 'conversation' after that.
Apparently Dick and Kokkinakis approved Hmm

Raahh · 27/06/2025 16:44

I have finally got around to watching the Josh Berry impersonation/interviews. Very funny, and uncanny really.

Ugh. Anything that Dick and Kokk approve ofi, is clearly not something to approve of.

Grigor was very no homo (if I’m allowed to say that) but Carlos and Jack were I’ll marry Rafa without a second thought Grin

I mean, fair Grin

Exactly Raahh
Although, as you know, I do like Dan. He says it like it is. I thought his recent comments on the number of matches top players play was quite refreshing. When asked, he took a slightly different view to ADM and others and said players were contractors and didn't have to play every tournament, they were doing it to get the pot of money at the end of the season. He said he could take time off if he wanted to and the top players are in a very privileged position compared to most 'workers' and so he felt a bit uncomfortable with the complaints.
I'm paraphrasing but it was interesting to get a different view.

IceandIndigo · 27/06/2025 17:05

Dan’s comments in Eastbourne were disappointing, honestly. He was also complaining about not being put on centre court

Well swerved ice Grin
You can relax and enjoy the day. What court are you on?
Hope you and fizzy both* *have fantastic times, drink copious amounts of Pimms and have seats in the shade Grin

The draws for the Brits are hideous!!
Has a no4 seed ever had such a difficult route? (Probably, but Bublik and Djok before you can even get to the semis to justify your seeding Blush)
At least there's the guarantee of one Brit in the second round, either Dan or Jay Clarke Grin

We’re on centre court. Not sure if our seats are in the sun or not but hopefully it’ll be a bit cooler by the end of the week, the first couple of days look scorching. I’m sure considerable Pimm’s will be imbibed.

JaneJeffer · 27/06/2025 17:15

I felt sorry for Jensen because he probably finds interaction hard enough. Someone else could probably laugh it off.

I’m so fed up of the sound quality or lack of on Sky. The volume is up and down constantly.

Corentin is getting annoyed which is unusual Grin

OP posts:
Raahh · 27/06/2025 18:51

Really? No!

I'm flipping between this and the ADF/ Fritz match which is now handily on the red button as well as iplayer so easier to go between the two.

JaneJeffer · 27/06/2025 18:52

Alex is not giving up

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 27/06/2025 19:01

No Robbie no, no, no

Well done Corentin

JaneJeffer · 27/06/2025 19:07

Alex always walks with his head bowed

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 27/06/2025 19:08

Nice words from Corentin - waiting for the camera Grin

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 27/06/2025 19:09

Didn’t disappoint Grin

OP posts:
Raahh · 27/06/2025 19:24

Better secondset from ADF.

Looked like Taylor was going to have it all his own way .

Raahh · 27/06/2025 19:32

It's very windy at Eastbourne, and now the pigeons are disrupting the points.

Raahh · 27/06/2025 19:59

Fritz getting the better of this set now.

Raahh · 27/06/2025 20:08

Well done Taylor - at least ADF got this far. In good form for Wimbledon.

He was very good- and it was the mannerisms too. Some of the players even said that it was like his face actually morphed into the character.
Very, very clever.
