(1000 Posts)While we dream up our Australian Open advent calendar, the chat continues!
Just like filling up an old thread!
Good news about the BBC highlights, unless a certain someone is involved
Thread nearly full. Who's doing the next one? I'm too lazy
Oh no it's Frew.
How long will it be before we get to the shot clock discussion?
Vamos!
Please stop magi !
I like Tim. He knows what he's talking about - he can call himself a 'former British No 1' without being embarrassed, unlike some t##t I won't mention! - and he's got a dry sense of humour.
Well, at least I got some bits done, before the Rafa match.
The dog will have to amuse himself for a bit .
in fairness to Tim, at least he was at the top of the game (or thereabouts) in his day.
Looks like you were right about Halep Raahh
I'm not an admirer but I don't loathe him as much as you all do. Henman commentating irritates me far more with his faux estuary accent.
Stop it now magi - I think you’re really the secret admirer!
Spidey I checked the Dom match too, when it really looked like he was on his way home. He really turned it round (well, Bolt suddenly realised what was going on by the look of things!).
looking forward to it magi!!
magi behave!
It's great about Gulbis
He'll have Monfils or Karlovic next I think? That's not impossible either. Go Ernie!!
Can't believe Them survived that match. I checked the scores at some random hour in the night, and he'd been in front then was 2-1 sets down, it didn't look good at that stage. So good on him.
Argh I never thought of Kyrgios being shown ahead of Stan - yes that's what they'll do isn't it? I'm probably going to miss a fair bit this morning anyway, annoyingly
it is probaby unlikely that Harriet Dart will keep Halep on court for hours before the Rafa match, so I can everything done that I need to .
Well, just catching up on the scores now.
Heather is out - but Ernie is through- go Ernie!
Thiem survived a 5 set match.
Lots of iteresting things coming up later- Stan is playing, and Rafa of course- but so id Dick, so I bet we can guess what Euro sport will show instead of Stan .
I will miss a bit this morning though, which is annoying. I won't mind if Rafa just sails through his match- I'm not that fussed about 4 hour epics when he is playing .
They should do - surely?? Fingers crossed.
Glad Heather went through.
Great, Rafa and Stan in the morning! If they show them?
They're showing Dan now. Shame he's gone.
I see Heather Watson beat Kristyna Pliskova and Caroline Wozniacki is through.
yay!
I was wondering if I would get to see any of his matches.
Hopefully by his next tournament, Dan will have a new shirt to wear.
