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>.

Stef really does want that cow I’m not sure why he’s stood in a pond with his trophy!

Roger should not have been allowed all the cows - one of them died and then he said he would have to get a cow garage for the other one!

Was Carlos really carrying the World Cup trophy? I’ve seen some cute photos of a very young Rafa playing football on Instagram

I’m not watching the footy but I want Spain to win - apparently Shakira (and Tom Cruise) are providing the half time entertainment)

The halftime entertainment looks like AI. Very weird!

I’m watching the footy half time entertainment - what the heck!

I don’t think that Madonna’s face is real Jane

Who are these two eejits?

I’ll never complain about the Premier League again

I’m obviously using the wrong face cream - Madonna and Shakira ageing backwards!

This is grim (apart from the Muppets)

For a country that thinks they do better than everyone- they are basically repeating the same stuff from the opening ceremony.

I will never complain about Coldplay or Paul McCartney again.

If that is Madonna's real face, then I'm a muppet.

Everyone on this side of the Atlantic is not impressed

RTÉ presenters are pissed off

I think her real face is somewhere on the back of her head!

Wayne Rooney said it was crap it’s about the only sensible thing that he’s ever said!

OK that’s me done with the football now

Y Viva España!!

Guys, I come here to escape the football!

Sorry.

Can we talk flying fucking ants instead.

How’s the pismire situation today Raahh?

Ugh, evil little sods.
They are everywhere. Dying slowly. Crawly across the kitchen like ghost ants , after they've been through the ant powder.

I hate them. Can you tell .

I am distracting myself, watching Sara Bejlek playing Anna Blinkova in Prague. I think Wispa has only mentioned her height a couple of times .

It has been a really good first set.

I was disappointed (though not surprised) to see that Casper withdrew from Estoril.

Is it really a year since I spent hours watching people watching/dancing in the rain in Kitzbuhel? .

That was a long set, well done Sara.

The weather in Kitzbuhel is the complete opposite this year but I’m glad to say that the DJ is as random as ever. He was playing Doris Day earlier

Katie and Alex have got married. Again. In Tuscany this time.

Flying ants are gross. Basically they’re not very good at flying, and they seem to mainly want to be in my hair. I wonder what would happen if there was a flying ant invasion in tennis? Like the bees at Indian Wells?

The random DJ was a defnite highlight Doris Day .

I hope there are no underwear photo shoots.
