WIMBLEDON - scattered seeds in SW19

[JaneJeffer]

They are definitely giving Wispa a run for her money.

Chris seems to think the players can hear him.

Confused. Why does his Wikipedia say he’s South African? Hasn’t he been playing as GB for a number of years. Sorry I missed the explanation if there was one

He was born in South Africa, grew up in New Zealand and now lives in Monaco. His parents are British. Although he played for New Zealand until 2013.

So he’s British by choice then ! That’s nice!

<channels AC> he was born in SA to a Welsh mother and Scottish dad, moved to NZ when he was 3 yada, yada, yada but he’s British now

Alcarez is likely to demolish him in the QF though

We did go through a phase (remember how we shafted poor Bedene?) of taking players who were 'not quite Brits' but we had no much homegrown talent.

Jo Konta has a very mixed background too- and Laura Robson could bery easily be an Aussie- she was born there, and her parents are Australian.

It's a murky minefield.

Gives AC something to talk about (it's all he can remember about Cam).

Oh- apart from 'remember when Norris beat RBA on clay from 2 sets to love down in the Davis cup'. AC likes that one.

(RBA is not a clay specialist - just a Spaniard )

What happened to the one whose parents were ballet dancers? Choinski? He was another mixed one. Polish/German - mother from the UK , I think.

Maybe we need AC

No. . We don't need AC. Sorry.

Joe Salisbury, and Neal Skupsky are both through in their repsective mixed doubles.

Bet they don't get a mention in tomorrow's Brit watch report though.

I’m not going to complain in case anyone with Irish parents comes along

Thanks everyone!

I’m getting so confused about which channel I’m on

I went in the kitchen, and now I'm watching Noskova?

Have we moved?

I am fed up with this

It’s just as well Carlos isn’t British, BBC would be insufferable.

FFS why are they banging on about Emma.

BBC1 now Raahh

The Big 5, Ice.

(even though I'm of the opinipn there was never a big 4, just 3 runs for cover)

I had to tune in BBC2 earlier because we get the NI version and they had the hurling on

She won a slam, you know.

Really? I didn’t know.

Apparently.

I was quite shocked.

(I'm not sure whether I need to point out I'm joking...)

Not to you Ice
