TENNIS- Grass season is upon us. Wimbledon is around the corner.

[Raahh]

Panic! the thread was ending.

Carole's replacement weather presenter reminds me of Aled Jones.

He keeps calling Isa 'Eesha'. I don't think it's pronounced like that, is it?

The weather people must be delighted they all get a day at Wimbledon this year

Yes, beats being stuck in Salford

Ugh. and this is the 'other' thing they were bound to be discussing ad nauseum.

Serena.

They keep mentioning the drug testing. Which makes it sound like Serena has something to hide when she isn't playing tennis.

Typically, play is starting on the outside courts. Isa is still wittering.

I've got Jodar /Gill on court 3.

I feel like I’m watching Dragon’s Den

Oh they remembered Katie now that Emma is gone

Jodar is on the red button now, Jane

Fickle lot, aren't they?

Thanks Raahh

It's taken him a few games to settle, but NuRafa has the break, and he's motoring now.

Ooh- altitude got a mention.

Mark Rylance! I used to really fancy him. Saw him play 'Hamlet' in stripey blue pyjamas in 1988.

I missed the tune! Hopefully get it at 2pm

These two are doing a great job of taking over where AC left off.

I was in the kitchen and when I got back they were chatting about Bake Off

Ryan was a bit bemused- I think he countered by talking about Bad Bunny? but I might have mis-heard

Aww I’ve just seen that Penelope Keith has died

Felix is actually serving pretty well.

Oh how sad
I loved 'To the Manor Born'.

And 'The Good Life'- how could I forget the Good Life!

I had a goldfish called Margot.

I've been checking a few scores- Rublev is down a set, Maja Chwalinska is justifying her WC so far, and is 5-1 up in the first set in her match.

Sad news about Penelope Keith. Bloody cancer again!

Flicking through the scores, Rublev has lost the 1st set to Safiullin.

I'm not sure I can watch the Gill/Jodar match. The commentators are making my ears bleed, especially Ryan Harrison

Ryan is annoying to listen to.
