The tennis thread.

I loved the fan favourite question that none of them knew And after being told it was Aga...

"...oh."
"...congrats?"

Could be better tbh

Oh, and R.I.P. Billy

"Who has a dog called Billy?"
"Well I did..."
"What happened?"
"He died."

She actually said "Oh wow" which made it even better.

Oh shit, doesn't Indian Wells start today, who's playing when?

It started yesterday No TV coverage though

No top seeds are playing today, although Vika & Petra's doubles match is on the 3rd on the main court

There is only one partner for Vika.

That wouldn't be allowed in an ATP/WTA tournament

Rafa can pass for a muscular lady.

True, Stosur's got bigger guns than him.

It's a shame I probably won't get to see Pico play again this year, they wanted me to take more photos

Tell them to pay you to follow him around and take pictures when he's playing.

I doubt they could do that I do know of bloggers who have managed to get media accreditation so they get backstage access and whatnot, although I think they were working for a bigger website rather than their own blog at the time.

Robyn if you get backstage access, you are coming to Auckland and taking me so I can talk to Julia

Oh crap, pre-sale tickets for the O2 went on sale this morning.

Might wait 'til they go on general sale and ring up rather than get them online, that way I can be picky about seats

it's not fair, you get lots of tennis in England

Pfft, Americans have it best. And the French

we have it worst TBH

1 a year, never get anybody in the Top 10 (in the woman that is)

There's a mens event there as well, and it's the week after so technically you have 2

we got Ferrer and Verdasco this year

Vika & Petra are 6-2 3-1 up

Is there anywhere I can watch?

Don't think so :awww: There's no TV coverage anywhere at the moment, not just in the UK

Sucks, when is Rafa's, Maria's Sabine's Vika's first match.. is there anywhere I can look to find out? And by that I mean singles, if I miss any of them.

I'll post the order of play each day Although it's still the middle of the afternoon there so tomorrow's won't be up yet.

I doubt they'd televise doubles anyway
