well done Raah. found you!

Andy played well, and Lendl was watching from the stands.

Agree with whats being said about Isner.

Hes lovely, but has no personality at all. love the way he bounces the ball between his legs tho when hes about to serve.

I think we should have Tennis back for the French Open & through till at least end of Wimbledon!

Flowers for new thread, Raahh

Ooh shiny new thread, thank you Raahh. All the usual suspects through, although slightly surprised that Fognini beat Bust-a-Gut.

Poor old Pot. Think he needs special nursing? Cos I'm free you know?

Ooh you've all GOT to see this (if you haven't already). Search "Dimitrov helps ball girl Miami 2014". He's so lovely, just can't imagine him and Shrieky together.

I've been looking at the order of play- some interesting matches to come- but right at the end, Isner is playing Berdych. I bet that will be thrillingGrin

order of play

I am torn now, as Stan is playing my new best friend, Dogsbollocks. I don't mind who wins, really. I would love to see Tsonga beat Murray (sorry), but I really don't think he will.

Did you see the Ivanovic/Kvitova scoreline. I've never liked Ivanovic- and clearly after winning the first set, she couldn't be bothered anymore and lost the next 2, 6-0 6-0.

(I'm going to find out she was horrifically injured now aren't I? Grin)

Definitely time Gregor ditched Shrieky. He could do so much better. And she makes sweets , ffs.

What a lovely bloke. I bet she keeps a copy of that clip for a long time Grin
Shrieky would have just chucked a soggy towel at her, and hissed for a ball maybe

Shrieky would just carry on playing tennis around the poor fainted girl! And then complain to the umpire that ball girl was in her way.

Where's three these days? Just heard Boris had surgery on both hips yesterday.

Yep Juan getting to see more tennis is always good Grin positive thoughts and all that. (Disclaimer am feeling much more awake now after fresh air all day and a lot of lucozade) how's your dd getting on?
Djokovic looks in control in his match.
I really want tsonga to win too, and Stan I think, though dd has a crush on dogs.....

Ferrer is making a meal of it- as usualGrin but then he wouldn't be Ferrer is it was easy.

Poor Boris- he'll be hobbling around for a bit. Is he still coaching Djok- haven't seen/heard much from him.

It's still with serve but ferrer is looking tired Hmm a few spots of rain though so if there's a rain delay it might help him.

Raahh · 25/03/2014 18:28
