When the ball hits the top of the net during a rally. It interrupts the trajectory of the ball and often results in the opponent losing the point. Tennis etiquette is to apologise with an outstretched hand gesture. It’s a bit silly because players are often not genuinely sorry, but it’s considered rude not to do it. Zizou was unhappy because Arthur was not apologising and was instead loudly celebrating.

Edited

I mean it’s one thing to not acknowledge it but celebrating is a step too far!

Fizzywinegum · 04/07/2026 19:21

I'm not sure that it’s something to complain to the umpire about though? At least they had a nice hug at the net

Arthur reminds me of Lleyton Hewitt - like a terrier that won't give up!

JaneJeffer · 04/07/2026 19:24

I think Zizou was a bit stressed out with the nose bleed breaks and everything so he had a little moan to the umpire but he didn’t make too much of a fuss really.

Matteo coming back into it a little bit now. Arthur stayed really calm to come back to win that match. Madison Keys us only just fettibgvto play on centre court so he's done well to get the chance to already.

Not sure Arthur will be allowed to play again on Court 18 on Monday. He'll be on Centre vs Grigor or Matteo!!!!

They might get no.1 as on centre today. Hope so as we have tickets for Monday!

JaneJeffer · 04/07/2026 19:30

Grigor looks full of energy

Raahh · 04/07/2026 19:31

Jamie Delgado is starting to look like Our Boris, he's very red in the face. He also looks like a flower pot man, ,but I love his committment to the bucket hat.

Grigor does seem more focussed than Matteo

Raahh · 04/07/2026 19:32

Shot!

I was just thinking that I still don’t know what that logo means Grin

Fizzywinegum · 04/07/2026 19:34

great shot from Grigor!

Flower pot man Grin - I read an interesting interview with our Boris the other week - he’s still not allowed in the UK - prison sounded grim - he’s living in Milan now I think

IceandIndigo · 04/07/2026 19:35

Wow Grigor!

I’m torn in this match, because I don’t want it to be straight sets, but I also don’t want it to be too physically taxing for the winner.

JaneJeffer · 04/07/2026 19:36

Oh poor Boris. It was only money!

Raahh · 04/07/2026 19:36

It's some kind of mattress /sleep pod company Confused

Maybe the hat was a freebie.

The Berrettini camp is looking a bit worried

Will you still feel that way, knowing they play Arthur Fery next...

Although, much as I have enjoyed Arthur's exploits, whoever wins this match, I would still want to win the next match (sorry Arthur).

Matteo looks defeated.

Fizzywinegum · 04/07/2026 19:40

Oh dear Sad - Matteo’s Dad always looks stressed even when he’s winning

Raahh · 04/07/2026 19:40

Grigor wants to banish memories of last year, and what should have been. He was beating Jannik, when the injury happened.

I think Eugenie thinks that AC is a dick - I quite like her commentary -she knows a lot more than AC does

bluegreygreen · 04/07/2026 19:43

Yes, that's why I'd like him to win. Berrettini can win for the rest of the year ...
