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

[JaneJeffer]

I think Taylor Fritz is my favourite Yank male so don't mind him getting through. He battled well and it was an exciting match to watch, particularly the tops turvy tie breakers.

Dan’s doing well

Well done Dan!

Well done Dan!
Djok's spies were watching, apparently.

Ooh is Djok afraid of Brummie Borg?

I’m also the line judges the courts look empty without them

Fran’s outfit is very sloppy looking

Well done Dan! Just retreated back to the hotel room to seek some respite from the heat and saw the end his match - he seemed very happy!

Sad about Lorenzo - and Bublik is out as well - still not sure who we’ll be seeing tomorrow

This is a good spot for a bit of tennis watching

I am getting fed up with iplayer now, as it is not working at all for me for more than 30 seconds at a time.
At least they are showing the Zverev match on the red button.

6ft 6! Bingo! And I've only just switched it on.

Mirra Andreeva is through- I hope she has a good tournament, she's a lot of fun to watch.

The old canal looks very clean these days Fizzy

Sorry to see Petra go out. Will miss seeing her play. And on a double fault as well.

I wish I could watch Flavio

Shame Petra lost on a double fault but it was lovely that she had a chance to say goodbye.

Yes, I'm really glad they gave Petra a wild card. I'm sure she would have loved to win, but at least she got the chance to play.

Yes agree it was right that she got the chance to play there again and say goodbye. Nice that she got to have a little interview and recognition from the crowd. Just a shame she had such a tough match to start with.

These commentators are doing my head in. You might have seen Alexander Senior smile if you actually watched some tennis sometime.

Jane they really are annoying.

And- back to the point I made yesterday, what happened to the 'start under the roof, finish under the roof' rule, because it was 'tradition' - or was that, as we suspected all along, just to appease Djok? (we knew it was , it's a rhetorical question).

Todd Woodbridge has hardly aged in 40 years!!

No, and he's a few months older than I am.

I certainly have .

What happened to Milos Raonic? For some reason he just came to my mind and I thought i haven't seen him play in years.

Oh and I miss Nick Kyrios' commentary this year.

Milos suffered from a number of injuries he did try to come back, but it was short lived- he played in the grass season last summer, iirc.

I defintely do not miss Kyrgios.

Marin is two sets up

Go Marin!

Flavio is too.
