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

At least Jannik still has his singing career.

Top half could be anyone's

He does. Maybe that was what was on his mind.

🤣

Rinderknech did us a favour and beat Lumberjerk.

Yay!

Great thread title, Jane.

Can't believe the Queen's scheduling. First match at midday is Fearnley vs Lehecka. So the only 2 men that played twice yesterday are on first, whilst the rest, 4 of whom had a day off yesterday, play later! I know neither of them are seeded but Jacob is the British no2, playing in GB!

Agree the scheduling makes no sense kazza. Possibly they are accommodating preferences from the seeded players, but agree it's very unfair to Jacob and Jiri.

I am definitely glad to see the back of Lumberjerk.

Don't know how to link it here, because I'm crap at technology, but the LTA video on YouTube with Josh Berry asking players questions as Mac, Rafa and Andy is worth a watch. I knew his Murray impression was brilliant but so is his Mac. Carlos....I understand your Olympics pain

Rafa has been made a Marquess- Marquess of Llevant de Mallorca.
That sounds a bit fancy .

So funny, particularly Carlos having no hesitation in naming Dvovak as kill.in kiss, marry kill.

Does that give Rafa the right to herd sheep around Palma?

I hope so.

He will probably get to go to some ceremony where he wears an interesting hat.

It's a hereditary title too- so Mini Rafa gets to keep the sheep (I hope there are sheep).

Daniil is lying down on the sofa in Halle.

He is winning the match- but doesn't look great.

I think he has a nosebleed.

Don't get it on the white sofa!

I love the idea of Rafa as a Marquis. I guess that's equivalent to being knighted, but it sounds much cooler.

Arise, Sir Rafa!! Brilliant.

I hadn't seen the Josh Berry thing kazza, it's pretty funny. His Johnny Mac was particularly spot on. I think Maddy Keys was genuinely a bit stressed at having to decide who she'd kiss, marry or kill. I also feel like Carlos could offer to take the bins out every now and then, my DS helps with that and he's 6!

Meanwhile Keith has admitted to having an affair. It’s always the quiet ones.

He said “From now on, in order to fulfil my life as a responsible member of society, I will solely focus on tennis competitions and produce results.” Then he withdrew from Wimbledon

Blimey!!

Well done Daniil, seems to have stopped bleeding now.

Well done Daniil
