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

[JaneJeffer]

Surely they will show the Alcaraz match from the start? (That starts at 1.30)

or maybe they won't.

They won’t show the first three games while they say Alcarath on repeat

I thought he was going to say I’m just here for the craic then

We know the BBC Wimbledon script by heart, Jane.

Have they mentioned Emma again, yet

I have seen Emma walk along the same corridor about 20 times now. Just to prove that she is On Site.

Holger has started well.

It's hilarious.

I know it's not their fault- but don't the producers realise how ridiculous it all looks?

So far, by sticking to iplayer - I have avoided Isa.

Isa keeps popping up on Premier Sports with updates and I can’t escape her when the RB isn’t working

I’m sticking with the iplayer to avoid all the Alcarathing and Emma shots - from what I’ve seen of Isa so far she hasn’t learnt much about tennis in the last 12 months - she should stick to the cricket!

Daniil is struggling in the heat (I feel his pain) - he looks even more dishevelled than usual (which usually bodes well for him) - he’s giving off Jarvis Cocker/geography teacher vibes with his beard

I really miss the lines people

I do find it interesting, given how many countries they play in, that the heat in some countries affects them very differently.

Come on Daniil!

Jarry is pulling back the breaks in this match too.

Daniil is forever playing 5 set matches at slams.

I’m watching on iPlayer and still had to watch Emma walking down a corridor.

Maybe she's not really there? Maybe it's one of those dummy CCTV things- and she's actually somewhere else, but they have to keep playing it to pretend she's there? It's her alibi, whilst she robs a bank.

Or she's trying to get her steps in.

First set Holger- but Jarry tried to make a comeback.

First set to Holger

Stef's in trouble in his first set as well.

I keep typing stuff on the app and then realising nothing has appeared. So annoying.

DD is at Wimbledon having got there at some ongodly hour to queue and get a grounds pass. She was watching the Ons match and also saw the end of Oliver Tarvet’s match. Have so far failed to find her on any iPlayer coverage 😃

Am at the dentist about to have a tooth removed. At least this gives me a good reason to just sit and watch tennis afterwards

Benjamin Baryshnikov Robbie!

Not looking too good for Daniil

I haven’t heard anything from AC yet - I also haven’t seen Emma walking the corridor yet - I feel as if I’m not getting the full Wimbledon experience!

Has Robbie merged two ballet dancers into one Fizzy?

Why is the same match on BBC1 and BBC2? If you’re not a tennis fan this fortnight must be a nightmare!

The coverage over the last few years has really gone downhill. It doesn't seem to be about showing the matches anymore. Just lots of pointless VTs and waffle.

I think he was trying to say that Benjamin Bonzi was like a ballet dancer but who knows with Robbie

Bring back Sue!!

Come on Daniil.

Looks like Foggy isn't going to let Carlos have it all his own way either (if this is going to be his last Wimbledon- I'm assuming it is- since he played his last RG).
