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

[JaneJeffer]

Yes, I think he did a couple of days ago? Or maybe I dreamt it.

I just turned on - first sighting of Annabel and Isa- and they were discussing ...Emma!

I have swiftly found Sonego and Faria on court 8. Where there is no commentary at all .

I’m not very enamoured with my match choices at the moment but at least it’s three different matches.

Johannus Monday sounds like someone from the Mayflower

It is a fabulous name, isn't it?

Has TP made his own cold towel- it looks like its held together with masking tape- a bit of a shoddy look for Wimbledon
(But better than the bags of ice, I suppose).

None of the matches are really gripping me- I am not as enthused by this bit of the draw, really. (But a lot of my favourites either dropped out before the tournament or lost yesterday so...).

Yeah I’m on a bit of a downer after yesterday

Pegula is out

oh dear- I saw Jess was in trouble- I think the women's draw could have a one or two big name casualties today. (I have everything crossed for Barbora- but I'm not too hopeful). Eala may be affected by the occasion/still recovering from the weekend, though.

Not the best start for Lore, a break down already, but early days- maybe his injuries are still bothering him. Might just need time to settle in.

It Is a tough opening match for Barbora. I’m hoping to catch Petra’s match later but I have a long meeting this afternoon so not sure if I will. I’d like to see her win one or two matches here.

I'm hoping Petra wins, but she is another one that might struggle. But Navarro can be a bit inconsistent, and (as we saw with Foggy) Petra might be inspired by her 'last match'. She loves Wimbledon, and has lots of fans.

Suddenly, the interesting matches are happening at once.
Lore is in danger of losing the first set, and Bublik is about to start his match against Munar.

And Sinner/Nardi on court 1.

Come on Lore!

I can't believe they made Johannus Monday play on Tuesday, not surprised he lost

Such a weird tournament so far, I feel like no one is safe.

Go away Isa. I don’t need to hear from you every five minutes.

Ice no, no-one is safe.

I've turned over to Barbora for a bit, watching Lore on my laptop. (I'm a bit crap at multi tasking, this could go wrong).

Sam Smith (not that one) is commentating, which is nice.

When are the unfinished matches going ahead?

Judy Murray in the Royal Box.

And Alexander Armstrong. That's nice.

Anne going nuts over Julia Donaldson- Sam has no clue Not a gruffalo fan then Sam.

They follow these first matches on 1 and Centre, i think .

So a bonus for Centre, who would only have had Djok , they now get Sascha as well.

Richard was there yesterday. Obviously avoiding each other

Lore has the second set- Forza!

Barbora has started well. .

Slow-ish start for Jannik.

Isa is haunting me

This match is going how I expected now- Eala is not really phased at all.

Come on Barbora!
