Talk About Tennis 2.0

Welcome, welcome.
Sorry, we are a tad late to open today, but it is just something to do with that bloody Brexit mess. Ever since we had to let go of all the Euros (meaning the people, not the coin) we simply can’t find proper service. The Spaniards and Portuguese that were manning our place were, when we come to think about it, rather useful. No way you can find a lad from Liverpool that will show up in time.
Anyway, welcome in. We offer a very, very large selection of beers and ales, plus, of course, stronger spirits. Which is what, if you have already arrived, you probably are: already dead, and here now rest your demised entity. So, feel free to drown your sorrows in the ghastliest of fashions and tell us the tale of your death: TB in the fifth? Straight set romping? W/O because of a tummy ache after a bad batch of fish and chips? Or the dreaded, you forgot to post? Your dog ate the keyboard?
Music on demand, food if you feel like having something totally unpalatable, and just be sure of something: you won’t be alone for long.
Another fine Wimbledon tradition, we shall say.

That was pretty quick. Out of the men's side on Day 1.

What's your fancy?
Hope that's a good start

A giant can of Sapporo, I guess. Nishioka, oh why, why?

Irena2!!!! You're supposed to be making Chicago proud. I mean, these Pools are SO simple, after all. We're expecting better from you with the women's Pool.

We got some special brews for you
And indeed, that was a good pick that somehow...

SO simple *sigh* uh-huh. Thanks for the hug, much appreciated. I leave it to you, nelslus or motobass to carry on in the men's pool for Chicago glory. No pressure

I was about to pick Nishioka too but saw that he was beaten by Galan just last May, although on clay. Decided to look elsewhere and went for Baez, who proceeded to wilt away against Vera. I swear, this is a wonderful game we're playing...

Bautista Agut brings down 15 players.... pending from Monday.
Sangria, I guess?

Ugh, out in both pools via Rinderknetch and Giorgi so I'll have some champagne and Negroni

Wow, what a double whammy.
Here is your Negroni: And let me know with would you like. You deserve it:

And I better get ready myself. Pliskova is really stinking up her court.
Against a player ranked 225 and who, when you click on her profile, it says NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE.
Swell.

And I just realixed.
Pliskova also let me down at the Aussie Open, losing to Linette and kicking me out by the quarters, and costing me a trophy.
Guess she goes into my NO PICK list.

Just suffered a long slow death on day 3 for my day 1 pick of Bautista Agut. At least I don’t have to try and keep track of 3 picks at once anymore. Bring me a bucket of brews - better yet, pour them in the bucket and then pour it over my head for my own private rain shower.

Sorry. We can't dump it on you. Something about the law
But here you have
