My old nemesis Stella has missed the mark this time, I'm not keen. The rugby shirts are the least awful for me. These tracky jackets need burning in a pit of fire.

Here's our formal attire. They look like they're auditioning for Celebrity Apprentice.
I've been turned now, I like most of them . Actually the worst for me is that jumper Jessica's wearing, it looks like it's made out of a scuba diving suit. I'm not keen on the mens swimming shorts either. The rest I like. Anything is better than the 2008 kit I've worn better in high school P.E.

The formal attire is dull, but inoffensive.

Oh Andy! Who knew holding a flag could be so difficult? Are we sure it's safe for him to be our flag bearer?

The Beijing kit is more dreadful than I remembered!

Don't ever change, Andy! It just endears me more to him, if that was possible!

I'm loving that the DelPo Express continues to build up steam.

You think you'll manage to stay awake for the duration MissAyrshire?

Even the Royal Family are trolling Andy

Who knew waving a flag could cause so much hassle?

Novak has a pretty rubbish draw, though Delpo isn't back to his best yet. Still a horrible 1R match.

And this from Judy too

In other news, Lisicki changes her coach. Again.

There might be a late Rio withdrawal yet for one player! Scroll down for the translation and tweet thread on it. It's not surprising, Su-Wei Hsieh has basically been at war with the Taiwan system her whole career with regards to funding and the coaching system.

It also doesn't help that the Chan Sisters and their parents are well up in the Taiwan hierarchy and are pretty much hated by all the other Taiwanese players. Even more so with the rule changes regarding coaching quotas for Rio meaning that daddy Chan gets the plum job and Hsieh and Lu have had to beg and hope to be allowed their coaches.

She's defending R16 points at the USO. Goodbye top 100.

Come on, are we really devastated about Novak getting a shocker of a draw.

I'm not, because I would like Muzza to retain his title

Giselle is going to be robbed during the opening ceremony and the police chase the robber throughout the show. Eat your heart out Danny Boyle.

Serena has a hard draw
Firstly Gavrilova, then possibly Cornet.
She could also meet Kvitova too

Bouchard could play Kerber in round 2

Unfortunately it's not the same Cornet of 2014 that was able to get 3 wins in one season over Serena. She's really struggled for form since returning from the back injury I think it was.

Petra's season has been diabolical, even for her consistently inconsistent standards so she'll be delighted with that section of journeywomen and other players struggling in 2016 like Woz, AKS and Vinci. That's assuming she can overcome the Babos banana skin who's making light work of Florianopolis this week.

I didn't say I was devastated, but it is a terrible 1R match on paper.
