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

[JaneJeffer]

He has strapping under his knee, Ice, but he does not seem happy. Looks like it will go to a 5th, as Jarry is serving at 5-3 up in the 4th.

2-2 FML

This is not going well.

They’ll be getting me and Ice to play at this rate - what’s going on!

that would be proper entertainment

Yes for all the wrong reasons Jane

It feels like Foggi has slowed the pace of this match right down to a sort of gentlemanly knock and that’s not Carlos’ style.

Pure Federer from Fabio

Don’t exert yourself there David

If you think that you haven’t seen me play

Come on Holger!!

I can't believe the Carlos match has been going nearly 3 hours- I'm sure he wasn't expecting it to (even if it is Foggy).

I’m surprised there’s so many empty seats

We always say that about other tournaments - and that it would never happen at Wimbledon.

Maybe it's the heat.

Oh heck- come on Holger.

I was wondering about the empty seats as well - maybe it is the heat

Well done Fonseca - I think I’ll go back to the Rune match - Carlos looks as if he should be OK now (I think!)

Fuck sake

Blimey.

What a day. Poor Holger.

Well done Nico.

Oh no Holger - now I am getting quite worried about who I’ll be seeing on Wednesday

Holger

This is a bloodbath.

There are even spare seats in the Royal box. Honestly, who is getting offered RB seats and not showing up

Honestly Carlos, this isn’t funny anymore.

Were these boys out partying last night or something?

I don't think the scheduling committee will be thinking it's fun either. If this goes to 5, they've still got 2 matches to play. And even though they have the roof, I don't expect they were anticipating things going on really late on the first day. The defending champ match is usually pretty straightforward.

Come on Matteo - you’re my only hope for Wednesday now (although it’s unlikely he’ll be on court 3 again)

Yes maybe they were all down at the Dog and Duck or whatever it’s called Jane

That was a bit of a yell, Carlos.
