Clay- your course has clearly not been set up by a tennis fan.!

My refresh finger is limbered up and ready!

Congratulations, seize. . She's clearly a tennis fan and has arrived in time.

Raahh. I'm envisaging a hefty cramming session over the weekend and then trying to see if I can get the exam out of the way as soon as possible. Since I can't really be arsed to pay the money to get it accredited it's not really that important whether I pass it or not.

Many congratulations, siexe - enjoy that wonderful newborn time & cuddles & sniffing their lovely smell & softness and, and I want one!

(Waiting for a DGC)

sieze obviously.

VAMOS RAFA

Raahh He's going to win.

MrsVamos you're back. We were wondering where you were.

Raahh. They're thinking about your request. That sounds as though it might be promising.

Well, I didn't really go anywhere, just that RL has been so busy I haven't been here.

We need balls.

Damn that RL . I agree we need balls. We have so should have . Much fewer calories. .

Give us our balls!

MRSV!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is!

We need our balls back. Or we will be spamming the boards with

Just been watching the clip of the No.1s celebrations on the ATP site. Lovely to see the lovely Stefan. And Rafa, obviously. Some have aged better than others.

And Monfils is in the final at Winston-Salem. That's good.

sadly, Gael lost

I'd forgotten about Winston-Salem. Got a bit carried away with checking the US Open news.

Hello lovely people, have you been here all along? Has Seize's daughter had her baby yet (have only just discovered thread and too excited to read it before posting, so apols if all info is in the thread).

Can't believe how quickly the summer has gone and that US open is nearly upon us. Have been away a lot so haven't seen much tennis but have been keeping up with the news. Also been following lovely potato on FB! And have got tickets for ATP final in O2 so looking forward to that. Hit me with the gossip then ...

Ooh, just read the baby's arrived! Lovely. Is she going to have a tennis themed name? Serena perhaps? Or Steffie?!

@ Farley

I'm really looking forward to the US, even though I can't watch

Am @ the ATP finals ticket.

Rafa's on a roll, and Del Potato has been looking good. Also hoping for a good run for Ferrer. It's shame Tsonga is still out, though. Grudgingly, though, I think Djoko is the man to beat.

Hi Raahh, nice to see you! I've been onto Site Stuff and joined your campaign for balls! Come with me to ATP - Dh is coming under protest, and has made me promise not to drool too openly .... Not sure I can comply with that!

Why can't you watch US?

Hi Clay. Do I have to do this - - in every post? Does it help the campaign?!

I don't think you have to do it. It's just some of us are in denial about the loss of the tennis balls! Probably won't help the campaign.

Farley- I only have a bog standard Virgin package- so I'm hoping some of it will shown on 'proper' telly. The final usually is. I have been flexing my re-fresh finger on the ATP site, and pretending I can see the players topless

One day to go. Order of play is out.

My ability work out tie differences is rubbish. I'm assuming they are 5 hours behind, so 1pm would be 6pm here?

not sure where that'on' came from.

It's New York isn't it so yes 5 hrs behind. I added 5 hrs for Montreal and cincinnati so should work.
