Tennis thread

Beat me to this one. Cycling time trial aside (road race only worth it for last 300yards in a one-off), not much else apart from the very obvious that I am looking forward to more than this. And if we can have the - spit - A-team for the football, surely we can have at least most of the BBC gang for the tennis? Mac might not come cheap, but here's hoping...

McEnroe had better put his foot down and say he isn't doing anything for ESPN. And I suppose it probably shouldn't be seeded given they are technically representing their countries, not themselves but then, they also earn ATP points. I've been thinking that at least for some tournaments there should be an open draw in the Quarter-finals.

Looking awlsome .

McIlroy being there guarantees a Keothavong win now.

Also, Karlovic has pulled out injured and been replaced by Petzschner.

Via BBC1?

No idea. I know it is supposed to be on 469 but not sure about the main channels.

Would like to see it from 'the off', in order to get sense of how Beeb are playing it. Put it this way, if I don't hear the words "the Swiss" today I will be very disappointed...

Boris.

Court 2 is on 469. No commentary as of yet.
