A BBC commentator was left stunned after a Wimbledon star was warned by the umpire for something “I’ve never seen before”.

Jack Pinnington Jones, 22, secured the biggest win of his career by stunning world No53 Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the first round.

The Brit, ranked 281st in the rankings, produced an emphatic display on Court 17 to win 7-6 6-3 7-5.

But he was involved in a brief spat when trailing 4-1 in the third set.

Pinnington Jones complained to the Wimbledon chair umpire that Etcheverry was wasting time and taking too long after each change of ends.

That delayed play resuming and frustrated Pinnington Jones.

So he complained to the umpire and could be heard on the courtside microphone saying: “It’s every time now.

“Once or twice [is] fine but the whole match…”

The umpire then immediately turned to Etcheverry and warned the Argentine to hurry up.

He said: “When I call time, you need to do a bit of a better job.

“You’re taking a bit too long. When I call ‘time’, get up and go. You can’t wait another minute.”

The BBC commentators then discussed the unorthodox issue.

One said: “A bit of a complaint from Jack Pinnington Jones.

“He’s taking a bit too much time getting out of his chair.

“That’s a bit unusual.

“I’ve never really seen someone called on that before.

“Between points, yes. But not at the change of ends.

“Pinnington Jones is down at the end of the court waiting to start the game.”

The Kingston ace – one of seven British men in round two – faces No22 seed Flavio Cobolli in the second round.

Sparks fly with Billykiss and Dejon on their date[/caption]

Last night saw Dejon get a text saying that a new female bombshell named Billykiss was ready to make herself known to him and Conor. 

They headed to a beautiful location with stunning sea views to get to know the her over a glass of bubbly.

The 28-year-old content creator from Dublin had a lot of flirty banter with Dejon and seemed to have a lot of common, such as family and spirituality.

Dejon told her: “You’re really beautiful you know,” and asked her if she would move to London for him, to which she replied: “If you were serious, yeah.”

Later in the villa, Dejon filled in the boys saying: “Yeah, she’s a proper nice girl bro. Like, mad sweet… yeah she’s a pretty girl as well. Her body’s ridiculous.”

A curious Harrison asked: “What’s the chat saying, good?”

Dejon replied: “Yeah, good chat, to be fair. She’s confident. She’s in unbelievable shape.”

Meanwhile, Meg told the girls: “I feel like Dejon is going to be very into her, yeah.”

However, fans reckon that Dejon will stick this “his Meg” just to stay in the game.

Taking to the Instagram comment section, one fan said: “When does his head never turn? He chickens out cos he wants to play it safe… with ‘his Meg’”

Another added: “He won’t go for her even if he likes her. He’s sticking with Meg for the wrong reasons, I believe.”

A third penned: “Dejon is playing hard for that money.”

A fourth wrote: “He’s not interested in Meg. He wants prize money and fame.”

A fifth predicted: “I don’t think he will go for her, as he knows sticking with the same girl will get you in the final!”

Earlier today, The Sun exclusively revealed how tonight’s Love Island will see two Islanders get dumped in another brutal vote.

A source said: “Execs continue to throw twists and turns into the series and no one saw this one coming.

“The cast were reeling after this shock move and one ousted Islander in particular will be much missed.”

A first look clip showed Meg convinced that the new bombshells are going to “steal” another islander in a couple.

Should she be worried?

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

GEORGE RUSSELL will be ringing rival F1 teams looking for a job in fear Max Verstappen is set to replace him at Mercedes, according to Martin Brundle.

With tensions already high between the two drivers, Russell would have hoped Verstappen’s name was the last he’d have to worry about when it comes to his seat.

But with huge speculation over Verstappen’s future at Red Bull, Mercedes have emerged as the front runner to sign up the four-time world champion.

And with Kimi Antonelli only replacing Lewis Hamilton last year, Russell is seen as the more likely to lose his place at the Silver Arrows.

Grid-walker Brundle told Sky F1 that he believes the British driver will be calling around other teams to make sure he has a place on the grid next season. 

He said: “I think George Russell is nervous and ringing around a little bit. 

“2026 is massive, biggest change ever in F1 for the chassis and power unit and you guess Mercedes will be there or thereabouts. 

“Would you put Red Bull [there] and can Max actually get out of his contract? Something’s up.” 

The rumours began with Verstappen and Mercedes last year, and they have resurfaced again after his performance-based release clause was revealed.

It’s understood that if the 27-year-old isn’t in the top three of the Drivers’ Championship at the summer break, the clause can be triggered.

Verstappen currently IS third in the standings, but ironically, just nine points ahead of Russell who could leap ahead of him if he enjoys a successful British Grand Prix this weekend.

More speculation about Verstappen’s future arose during last weekend’s race in Austria.

The Dutchman crashed out of the Grand Prix on the first lap after being shunted by the Mercedes of Antonelli.

But the normally hot-headed driver was remarkably calm.

Verstappen said: “Every driver has made a mistake like that. 

“No one does that on purpose, so for me, that is not a big deal.” 

Many fans were left shocked by his cool reaction, with ex-Williams and McLaren cult hero Juan Pablo Montoya even suggesting they were “already team-mates”.

He said: “If you wanted to read into things, why was Max so nice to Kimi after their collision? Are they already teammates?”

Were Russell to leave Mercedes, Aston Martin has been tipped as a possible destination.

SHANE Lowry was spotted playing indoor golf with American folk-pop sensation Noah Kahan.

The two were spotted playing together in an indoor golf experience centre on Dawson Street in Dublin 2 yesterday.

Indoor golf is hungry work as Lowry and wife Wendy went on a pizza date[/caption]

The golfing hot-spot is no stranger to Lowry who was hosted there along with fellow Team Ireland ace Leona Maguire back in December.

Rugby stars Bundee Aki, Rory Best and Conor Murray have also visited the inner-Dublin city virtual golf centre.

Kahan was playing in Marlay Park last night to over 40,000 people but had just enough time to squeeze in a virtual golf session Irish golfer Lowry.

The Vermont native flew over to Ireland following his Sunday Glastonbury performance and wasted no time in retaking the stage.

Kahan is most famous for his song ‘Stick Season’ which has over one billion streams on Spotify.

Lowry made time for both a golf session with a global superstar and also a pizza date with his wife Wendy.

18th in the world Lowry has two weeks of preparation ahead before he competes in Portrush – where there is a mural painted of him – in the Open Championship.

The Clara-born superstar won the competition in 2019 with six strokes to spare, joining Padraig Harrington (twice), Darren Clarke and Rory McIlroy as the only Irish golfers to win it.

He came sixth place last year just five shots behind winner Xander Schauffele after finishing the first round in second place.

Lowry is coming off the back of a very disappointing US Open having not made the cut after the second round with a score of 17-over.

His two rounds were summed up by his rookie-mistake on the 14th hole which cost him a penalty shot.

The 38-year-old fared better in the Travellers Championship last week where he tied 45th with an even score.

BRITS have been warned that their fake lawns could be harming their children and pets.

Artificial grass traps traces of animal wee and poo, with the resulting bacteria a risk to people, cats, dogs and other wild critters, say experts.

The report said: “While synthetic lawns are a popular low-maintenance option, they don’t clean themselves.”

It added: “Many households don’t realise that artificial grass must be cleaned regularly – especially when pets are involved.

“Artificial grass can trap pet urine and faecal bacteria, if not rinsed and sanitised.

“That build-up can release harmful vapours and bacteria, posing risks to your pet’s health.”

It said the recent heatwave had turned mock turf into “a breeding ground for pests and a source of serious bacterial contamination”.

The report commissioned by Decking Superstore went on: “Pet urine doesn’t soak into the ground like it would with natural grass – instead it lingers on the surface or underneath, especially if left untreated.”

Researchers found fans of astroturfed back yards had suffered maggot and fly infestations, ammonia build-up from pet urine, E. coli and salmonella exposure, and unpleasant pongs during hot temperatures.

While pets had been hit with skin infections and paw irritation.

Lawn Tips

If real grass is more your thing in the garden, there’s a good chance the scorching weather recently has been turning your lawn yellow.

But don’t worry, there’s a simple fix.

You can transform your grass this summer with a completely free step.

Scattering grass seed is the only way you can boost growth in sparse patches of lawn.

However, this solution often faces a significant problem when it comes to wildlife.

Birds often feed on grass seeds, swooping into your garden to peck them from your lawn.

To protect your grass seed while you wait for growth, one gardening fanatic suggests: “Cover your grass seeds with grass cuttings to protect them from the birds.

“Grass cuttings hold a lot of water so [they] will make it grow faster, proper green fingers.”

Club World Club rules allow up to five subs in regular time and it goes up to six during extra-time.

Tudor made the maximum of five substitutions for his Juventus team during the 1-0 defeat.

He said afterwards: “In the end, ten players asked to be substituted, the exhaustion was incredible.

“There’s the tension of this match, which burns your energy.

“Then there’s this heat, which really gets to you, and the third thing that completes the conditions is playing in this humidity.”

Gonzalo Garcia’s powerful header in the 54th minute gave Real Madrid the lead courtesy of a crossed whipped in by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The assist was his first since his move from Liverpool in May.

Jude Bellingham was also impressive for Xabi Alonso’s team.

Juve will regret their missed opportunities with Kolo Muani missing a golden chance just six minutes into the game.

The young French striker was one-on-one with Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois as he lifted his shot over the bar.

Extreme heat in the US has affected many games so far, with the temperature reaching a high of 36C during Benfica’s group stage win over Bayern in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Training has also been proved difficult with Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca saying it was “impossible” to organise a normal session in Philadelphia.

Cooling breaks have become mandatory once it reaches 32C and they have been used in 33 out of 56 matches.

The US will host next year’s World Cup.

A leading specialist on the effects of extreme temperature on the human body told BBC Sport this week that Fifa should consider starting the final at 9am local time should there be similar conditions to those at the Club World Cup.
