Tennis #7 🎾

[LipstickCherry]

Thought I'd start a new thread.
It's everyone's favourite time of year - grass court season!
Katie & Emma had great runs at Queen's last week,
Andrew Castle has been given the heave-ho by the Beeb after this year's Wimbledon.
Will Dan Evans get one of the remaining wild cards for Wimbledon?
How will Wimbledon be without Carlos?

Musetti has withdrawn from Wimbledon, so Berrettini is into the main draw.

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

 

[KittyScherbatsky]

I really hope Evo gets a wildcard!!

 

[Suzesnooze]

No wildcard for Dan

 

[esk]

Hopefully he'll get through qualifying and then go full Moutet at the AELTC during a post-match interview. Winning three matches does seem like quite a big ask though...

I really really miss Carlos playing - he's just such a ray of sunshine (appreciate this isn't a video of him playing but just made me realise he'll be a loss to wimbledon this year)

Moutet up first at Queens today. I hope the Beeb have enforced a 10-second delay on the broadcast, otherwise the commentary will consist entirely of ‘apologies if you heard some unfortunate language from one of the players’

The queens line up this year is a bit tit isnt it

My boss went Monday and Tuesday, I asked him what the best match he saw was and he said Shapovalov v Pinnington Jones says it all really…!!

I wouldn't be too thrilled if I had tickets for Centre Court today.

He got to see Alex De Minaur though, even if he did play poorly!

I don’t know what they’re doing with the sound on BBC but while I’m listening to Andrew and Annabel commentating Moutet/Fokina I keep hearing Clare rambling on like it’s coming through a quiet microphone or something very odd

 

[SarcasmSpecialist]

I've noticed that a couple of times, often the producer is prompting the comments.

 

[veronica71]

I’ve quite enjoyed this Hijikata v Lehecka match having slagged them all off earlier

 

[MyLittlePony25]

I just realised there was a new thread wondered why it had been quiet!
Very disappointed for Dan, I so hope he gets through qualifying

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

Silly boy.

Queen's 2026: Corentin Moutet fined $40,000 for swearing in live BBC television interview

France's Corentin Moutet loses almost his entire Queen's prize money after being fined $40,000 for swearing seven times in a live BBC television interview.

[Suzesnooze]

I doubt he will win his appeal when he deliberately swore a further 3 times after she told him not to.

Disappointing for Arthur Fery at Queen's. He played so well. Let's hope he does well at Wimbledon.

After the match, they were saying that Jack will be playing at Eastbourne next week.

That’s great about Jack - I’ve had a great time watching tennis this week whilst listening to the rest is history podcast much more enjoyable than Castle!!
