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>.

I think Wimbledon did have a big problem with them one year- the day they decide to attack varies from year to year and area. No, they are not very good at flying- they seem to like dropping from the ceiling in our kitchen.

No underwear shots, but Katie does seem to have had two different dresses (plus a third at the first wedding). She looked lovely in all of them (helps being tall, blonde and slim!)

Chessie tall blonde and slim definitely helps! I could only just be bothered with one wedding dress .

I've just had a look at the pictures-- not quite underwear shots , but there is a 'getting ready in a short dressing gown and garter ' shot.

Laura Robson looks very pretty.
I bet Tuscany was hot (I am very jealous).

Well done Barbora

Oh I didn’t see the dressing gown shot. I just saw a few of the actual wedding on instagram.

Seen the photos now - it was a gorgeous wedding.

It looks absolutely stunning, doesn't it? But a lot less 'staged' than the Tommy Paul one.
They looked really happy ,and I loved the colour of the bridesmaid dresses (which looked black/charcoal in one picture- but are actually emerald green, I think? ).

Just looked at all 58 photos in Vogue. What a beautiful wedding.

Yes, they do look lovely. And Katie and Alex look so happy!

Just finished watching the Rafa documentary. Still not a fan of Uncle Toni

Looks like Rafa is a guest on Andy Roddick's Served podcast, for those who haven't seen/heard it yet.

I’ll check that Podcast out Kazza thanks - uncle Toni doesn’t come out of the Rafa documentary well

The wedding photos are gorgeous - they look so happy - Although I was a bit concerned that one of the dishes they ate was Vodka Alla Penne - I made it once but was a bit heavy handed with the vodka - it was not nice!

Just looked at Katie and Alex's wedding photos. Very beautiful and tasteful, I'd much rather be a guest of theirs than Tommy Paul's. Was it just me or was there a hint in some of the captions that she's pregnant?

I think I figured out what went wrong Fizzy - you made Vodka alla penne instead of Penne alla vodka

Katie or Paige?!

Heaven help any child of TP's- their life will be one long photo shoot.

I haven't watched much tennis over the last day or so, because I had a gastroscopy yesterday, and have spent most of the last 24 hours recovering from the sedation.
Good win for Sara Bejlek just now in Prague. Watching tennis whilst falling asleep is about my limit today.

Hope you’re ok Raahh

Katie! Might be totally off base, let’s see.

Hope all is well Raahh.

Hope you’re ok Raahh

Jane in general my rule is the more alcohol the better but not with pasta

I'm ok, just feeling a bit grggy, with a bit of sore throat. I was more worried about losing a tooth. .

I must admit, I am very fond of vodka but not really with pasta.
I also tend to over do things I put alcohol in- the vodka jelly I used to make never set .

I just turned over- and the The Commonwealth games opening ceremony appears to be indoors- which is somewhat random.
They keep saying 'it's all a bit different this time around. ',

I think that's code for 'we're doing things on the cheap/last minute because Australia dropped us in it'.

Sunny in Kitzbuhel this year, locals will be missing their sliding opportunities.

Well done Sasha.

Andrey is having a bit of a meltdown.
