The Tennis Thread

What was the issue between Boulter and Dart?

For some reason she didn't seem happy with pointing-to-head celebration. In what world that's 'unprofessional', I have no idea.

Whilst the British women put on smiley faces for media, I have a feeling that behind the scenes, it's competitiveness, jealousy and bitterness (which is expected at the highest level of sport). Congratulating each other through gritted teeth, whilst thinking "that should be me". The obvious one being Raducanu's US Open win. I have a feeling the rest of the Brits don't want to associate with her.

Good win for Peniston over Ugo Humbert

Murray game just about to start on BBC2.

Damn.

[McGee_22]

All 3 British finalists from Nottingham lost today.

Peaked too early
Murray could likely do with a rest by the sound of the report I saw. Plenty game time in the last fortnight, even though if it wasn’t against top class opposition.

Monday lunchtime not even over, and that's Dart gone.

Welcome to Wimbledon, British tennis fans.

[nickfrog]

To be fair that's quite a fair reflection of their respective rankings. Plus Parry sounds quite British so perhaps not all lost !

Suspiciously Welsh sounding.

Anyone trying to watch Djokovic and finding it's not available on iPlayer at the moment (I think the Beeb are having a technical glitch), it's being live streamed on Wimbledon's own website.

Listened to Katie Boulter being interviewed this morning. The epitome of a modern tennis pro - all about her goals and processes etc

Not on my computer it isn't, that's an awful website.

Wow, that's odd. Plays really well on my screen, looks better than the BBC stream. Took me a moment to work out why I was watching the queue in the canteen, but once I'd realised where the Centre Court stream was it's been great.

[Bonefish Blues]

Is the Wimbledon site subscription? Can't make anything play, may be being thick?

I'm missing Sue Barker

Maybe that's my problem, I could only see a load of 'preview' panes, gave up trying to find the live feed.

I found it impenetrable.

[CoolHands]

Who’s the American woman that commentates in the studio mostly it seems on woman’s tennis. I find her super irritating, (I seem to recall she’s an ex player).

Indeed, although Annabel Croft was excellent at Eastbourne. Hard to believe that her husband died suddenly just over a month ago.
