So, Mr and Mrs berrettini are there, in the stands, with brother, who's just withdrawn from a dubs tournament to be here (bet his partner wasn't too chuffed).
But how come that's allowed? No quarantine? They haven't been here all week. What am I missing?

This could be a challenge to get the mixed completed by 8! Should be ok, but close !

 That's going the other way, though, and I don't know what the rules are for entry into Czech.

In France, for instance, there's no problem getting in from the UK if you're double jabbed (and neg test). No quarantine. 

But the UK still have the mandatory quarantine rules for amber countries (apart from Mr Fifa from Brazil, which is red, and seemingly he can do what he likes). So I don't see how the Berrettinis are here. (Nothing against them, of course, and - in fact - the rates in Italy are far better so I have no problem with them being here - just a problem with how the rule is being applied. Although, again, there might be something I'm missing)

It was a good match and excellent atmosphere. Well done to Djoko on reaching 20 slams. What an era of mens tennis !

If you wade through the various coronavirus statutory instruments you will find lots of exemptions. I bet there is one for people playing at Wimbledon and their households.

 No worries, worth asking. Cam would have been top but wondered where he stood in world terms.

I believe Cam ended up 12th to 14th overall on clay. Can't remember exactly but pretty impressive anyway. But as to grass, sorry that's a ?
