It will be a great French open this year with Federer returning after missing last few.What a fantastic rivalry him and Nadal have had over the years.I'm surprised super Fed is playing the clay season as I thought he would save himself for the grass again.Enjoy the next 2 weeks Barbara with many twists and turns I'm sure.

Barbara, I do believe there is a case for you to become PM - we need someone with a joyous outlook to match the emergence of summer. Nice tweet.

Woohoo!! Tennis Time!! Two weeks of bliss for me and so happy it's going to be broadcast on mainstream tv during GMT hours. Watching the ATP tour on Prime Video has been okay since Amazon outbid SKY Sports for the contract, but live tv is far better. Can't wait!Can my enduring favourite Nadal win the magnificent trophy🏆for a 12th time? I hope so.🙏🏻

Anyone ever been lucky enough to get tickets for Wimbledon?I enter the December public ballot every year and have managed to get a pair of tickets twice. Seen the Fed live on centre court which was amazing!
So so jealous.. 'loved' him for as long as I can remember.. Last time I went to Wimbledon was to see Christine Truman. Tennis players used to roam between courts then! Sue, we are going to fall out big time. Federer beats Nadal all the way, although I don't expect him to overcome Nadal this year. Not to worry. Have the pleasure of watching Federer this afternoon. Just to watch him play is fine by me!!

We can be friendly rivals Barbara, just like Fed and Rafa.😸Your man is going well so far.
When they both retire from singles I hope they play doubles together at the big 4 Grand Slam tournaments so the fans can continue to appreciate.
Good to see Lewis Hamilton winning the Monaco GP: great example of British/German collaboration - well F1 is really an international collaboration but the main players are European although the US is buying into its success - and his fitness proves how healthy his vegan lifestyle is.

I really hope so too Paul. Somehow I can't see either of them playing the veterans' tour but their love of the game will hopefully tempt them to play doubles in the Slams. What a dynamic duo they would be!
I didn't see it Michael but was keeping tabs on my phone and delighted he won. What a great champion he is!🏎🍾
Konta playing well right now. Go Jo!!👍🏻

Hey Sue and Barbara, Did you watch Konta today?I've just seen that she has won her match and got to the QF.Wow! She has never got past the first round at RG before!She has finally taken to a clay surface!

Straight set wins today for Nadal and Fed and an absolutely terrific match between Wawrinka and Tsitsipas. 👏🏻
