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

Panic! the thread was ending.

Thanks for the traffic update Andrew

I cannot stand Tommy Paul.

I may have mentioned it.

Every time I see him I try to figure out why I just don’t like him and I can’t. It’s not like I hate him or that he’s done anything awful (except for having an annoying girlfriend).

It's completely irrational , really Jane- apart from him being very American (I just said that to Dh who is half American ).

He's like a mini- Isner.

And he twirls his racquet in a way that gets on my nerves.

And yes, the girl friend.

Plus, I never understood how the players voted him the best looking, when Berrettini and Grigor exist.

Long levers!
Come on Botic!

Just trading breaks at this point.

Is Rinky’s plan just to stop Jiri from watching Czechia v SA?

Benoit was part of the commentary team for Roland Garros. He was actually better than I expected!

I had to go out, and then actually cook for people. The nerve.

I saw that Eala beat Rybakina- that's a good result for her. Not really going the way Elena would have wanted in her run up to Wimbledon.

Collignon beat Belluci.

I was reading somethng earlier, Annabel became a granny for the second time earlier this month. She has a grandson born to her daughter and her husband last September, and now a granddaughter to her son and his wife- so that's lovely.

Oh, that's pretty cool! I can imagine him commentating actually .
He was always very chic, was Benoit, with up-turned collars.

Annabel is a very glamorous granny!!

She is !

Well done Rinky.

Rinky match was really fun, crowd was massively on his side.

I'm flipping between Queen's and Halle.
Jess Pegula beat Madison Keys in a tight match in Berlin. Jess has won in Berlin before- it's the bizarre bear trophy, iirc.

Taylor finally through in a tough match against Ben.

I just switched on to see snogging in the stands at Halle. I’m like the grumpy woman beside them fanning herself.

Raphael has got the giggles

We done Sascha. Raphael gave it his all.

Aryna lost the first set. She seems to be in bad form.

Oh wow.

Francisco is struggling a bit since being hit in the throat!

Arthur into a 3rd set.

Arthur is playing some great tennis here. Really mixing it up and good to see some lovely angled volleys.

Have you seen the LTA insta post. It would seem that Jamie Murray is joining the BBC Wimbledon team and Andy is taking the micky
