Thought I'd give the tennis forum another go, see if we can catch some action.

Just heard that Jo Konta has had to pull out due to one of her team having a positive covid test. Rolleyes

Ah well, at least we have Andy Murray back and playing on day one.

Monday's order of play:

CENTRE COURT - 13:30

Novak Djokovic (Ser) versus Jack Draper (GB)

Sloane Stephens (US) versus Petra Kvitova (Cze)

A Murray v Basilashvili

COURT 1 - 13:00

Stefanos Tsitsipas (Gre) versus Frances Tiafoe (US)

Fiona Ferro (Fra) versus Garbine Muguruza (Spa)

Federico Delbonis (Arg) versus Andrey Rublev (Rus)

The rain will make sure Andy gets through to the second day. Whistle

I doubt the BBC would allow them to put Andy Murray on at the same time and England v Germany.

Emotional Roller Coaster alert!

Jack Draper 5-3 up against Djokovic, 1st set.

And he takes it 6-4. Smile

This roller coaster is on a big downward slope now.

Ah well. Lost but Djokovic doesn't usually drop a set until at least the semis.

Murray! Get on with it, lad!

Meltdown!

2 sets and 5-0 up. At match point.

It's now 5-5.

Now 5-6 down.

WTAF?

Come on Andy. Love Island's on at 9.

OMG! This is awful. Seven games lost in a row. I can't see him coming back from this.

Well poor old Serena has gone off injured tonight. Slipped on the centre court and knackered herself.

Same thing happened in the same place in the previous match when Federer's opponent, Captain Mannarino slipped on the slippy surface and crocked his knee.

Andy's still going strong though. Came through a tough 5 setter tonight, slipping about and putting his body through all sorts. But he said after the match, he feels fine.

Shapovalov next on Friday. Hopefully the BBC will tell them to get him on and finished before the footy starts.

If you were an alien and your first interaction with humans was watching Andy Murray play tennis, they you would think we were all mad!! He constantly talks to himself, he then spends quite a bit of time shouting at himself, then he seems to shout at someone in the crowd or is it his imaginary friend?? All watched by his mother with her Cruella De Vil smirk just showing through!!
