@MartinSLewis have you noticed a drop in car insurance this year? In 2022 I insured my car for £360; last year it nearly doubled. Now the renewal quote is £200 less!! No change in car/circumstance #ripoff #insurance

At futures they don’t have many lines people anyway. But I think it will be a while before all futures have elc. Challengers will follow the main tour in a few years; so maybe by then they may have addressed the issue of back up lines people. It is a concern though
Challengers & futures aren’t going to pay for dozens of lines people to come in every day to just sit around in case there’s a problem.

Those balls are used at every preceding grass court tournament; even those not in the UK
The @Wimbledon balls are famous because they are made by a brand, Slazenger, that doesn't appear at any other tournament. New balls are used every 7 games and the used balls are sold to the spectators with the proceeds going to charity #ShotOnOPPO @oppo

And of course remembering to place the stencil so the ‘fat’ part of the ‘D’ is at the bottom ie not upside down. But also, what if the butt cap is also upside down a la @jamie_murray? Easy, always follow the paint of the racquet.
🎾🖌 Attention racket stringers! Want to stencil your Dunlop racket like a pro? Remember to stencil the 'Flying D' the correct way around. Pro tip: the Dunlop logo on the butt cap indicates the way to stencil the logo on the strings. #DunlopTennis #StringingTips #RacketStencil

(See the video from Steph at Tennis Lab SA) More prizemoney than he’s ever come close to winning ($29K), he’s doubled his ATP points. He’s also almost run out of strings this week…🤦🏼😄 Just a great story #TeamGreece @UnitedCupTennis

Latest on @DHLParcelUK shoddiness, said they would keep parcel for 5 days before returning to send per my request; delivers it to me anyway. Useless Couriers

So, its approx 6pm. My delivery from @DHLParcelUK is at stop 85, and im 140. Chances of it be attempted to be delivered today, to a business address?? Im guessing a big fat zero. 3rd time this has happened. Shocking service

Rafa always uses onsite even if Xavi isn’t part of that team. FYI, he isn’t part of this years onsite Yonex stringing service. Since P1 have Novak, Murray, Stan, RF there’s unlikely to be an issue having Rafa as well

He’s never been a P1 guy. And even if he were the on courts would go to the Yonex onsite string service.
He’s a P1 guy so he would have to decline.

As well as congratulating #EmmaRaducanu on winning the @usopen, a big congratulations also goes to @racketspec for preparing the racquets that propelled her to such heights. This level of detail makes the difference. @ERSA_UK @ErsaStringers
