TENNIS THREAD- We bid farewell to SW19 for another year (along with AC the butterfly fancier), and prepare for the hard courts, after a detour on the European clay.

[Raahh]

Who will be the champion? Will Andre and Tim muzzle AC?

Will Eva Asderaki Moore muzzle the spectator in the crowd?

It's all coming to an end<sob>.

Vogue is telling me I need to subscribe, boo! Thanks anyway Raahh

Here’s a taster Jane (may need to wait for picture to load).

Nothing about that screams comfort to me!

My wedding pictures are so boring

That's really odd! I just googled the pictures!

I don't even have the official pictures from mine, just the book of proofs (most of them I didn't like, and the photographer took barely any pictures of me and my friends and loads of Dh with his. ).
The proofs are still on the bookshelf- the photographer never came back to us, and we never chased him up. Money well spent .

Mine are in a plastic bag in a drawer. Don’t have any hanging up or in an album. Dead romantic

I had 2 dc when I finally got married. Ds was 4 and dd1 was 8 months.

The best pictures ,were the ones that ds too on his disposable camera . I could have saved a fortune! Even those are in a box in the loft

The wedding underwear photo shoot is a new genre for me.

Let’s hope it’s not a genre that catches on!

I think the fact Paige is the founder of 'lifestyle brand' Dairy Boys which specialises in, amongst other things- homewares and lingerie- says quite a bit. Her wedding was just a big old advert for her influencer gig.

('Dairy boys', not to be confused with 'Diary Dolls' the company founded by Annabel Croft and Carole Smillie , making period pants, years ago ).

I felt exhausted just looking at the TP wedding photos. Imagine having to pose in multiple different outfits in your wedding day, one of which was your knickers? I don’t think I would cut it as an influencer. Looks like Lumberjerk was the best man.

Oh I missed out on all the wedding excitement - off to google

I did see something about Taylor Fritz wearing a suit but didn’t put the two things together

Raphael Collignon is going hell for leather

Well done Raphael. JMC must be kicking himself for losing from match point in the second.

I missed the end- JMC was doing so well at the start, I thought he was going to walk it. He really will be gutted .

Vallejo and Darderi are having a right battle

Luciano had a coffee

Well done Stef- good effort from Shevchenko.

Well done Luciano. Lovely meeting at the net.

Nice applause for Dani

Well done Maria-only saw the beginning and the end- but very special for her making a final in Athens.

I might actually get to see Barbora's match now!

Great start for Barbora- 5-1 up - I thought Clara was going to be tricky tonight.

It has taken 45 minutes to get to this stage though.

I would like Barbora to win a title, after she wasn't able to play the final in Den Bosch. But it would also be nice for Maria to win on home turf, after her mum wasn't able to.

Damn it. Come on Barbora!
