    I thought that was strange last night, it looks like they have got more of an audience in tonight as well, doesn't seem quite so awkward.

    And they've cut out all the waffle as well. It's looking more like the old show now.

    What is Balding talking about? A psychiatrist is qualified to prescribe drugs, which is what Martina was wondering and querying. Not that that is what Andy is seeking. A psychologist, however, isn't qualified to do so. So it makes sense for Martina to make the point.

    Was glad Andy won. Jo put me through it today.

    My friend is off to Wimbledon tomorrow. I'm just a bit jealous. We had a look at Stan's photoshoot & will see him in a different light now!

    I doubt if she knows the difference.

    This naff title sums up this "dog and pony show."
    Probably thought up by some kid on work experience.
    Why do they need an audience?

    The introduction seemed more like the beginning of a game show, or reality TV.

    The old programme style was better.

    After an often exciting day watching a lot of tennis, it was a nice relaxing programme with just a presenter and one "past player," it was all that was needed to discuss the highlights.
    I doubt if she knows the difference.

    As I said earlier, Clare Balding has always been able on occasions, to talk bollox with an air of authority.

    But she is Clare Balding, sports commentator extraordinaire. :p:o;-) Rugby, swimming, tennis, Chelsea Flower Show, Ascot, quiz shows - you name it, she knows and does everything!!:cool:

    Loads of folk don't. I'm related to one, and I'm amazed how often I find myself explaining what it actually is, and what it's not. More often than not, these are educated people, and has included some who work in other aspects of healthcare!

    To be fair, it's one of those things that are so often confused, that it spreads the confusion wider. If someone has not had dealings with one/both, they don't think to check, and presume it's all a bit interchangeable. For added confusion, there's also clinical psychologists, and a whole range of counsellors who may have no formal training at all.:confused:

    More like a poor's man version of Top Gear. Without the laughs.

    Alize shoved onto a court with no feed. :(

    I was there. Awful match. Konjuh hit error after error, poor girl. Alize very popular with the crowd.
