@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
@therqtstringer @_markpetchey 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.

@Rumba8888 @_markpetchey At any tournament that has elc there is a back up team of lines people ready to step in if needed.

@scambers73 Different string set up; and Novak uses a dampener while Carlos does not. Tension less of an impact on sound

@GregRusedski1 @VasekPospisil All pre-Wimbledon grass tournaments use the same Slazenger ball that is used at Wimbledon. I think the same happens in Australia. Don’t think it happens for RG and US. Should be mandatory that all tournaments preceding a GS should use that same ball as that GS.

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
