My tv went off for 5and a half hours. Cheers VirginHmmAngry

A 'fault in area'. I even missed Doctors.Grin

Apparently, Murray's back problem has surfaced again. Clearly clay does not agree with him.
Probably best GB stay out of the World group to be honest- we really don't have the depth of players to compete. We are totally reliant on the fitness of one player. Dan Evans may have had a good US open, but the test is backing those results up.

VAMOS Nadal! Tennis

Thanks Raahh. Have Lemsip and chocolate so will be fine. I'm not so ill I can't do the stuff I need to do it's just if I'm going to sit around trying to find stuff to do I'd rather do that at home. Every other fucker did pull a sickie though.

Grrr about Virgin. We don't have any depth in men's tennis. It's fine in a singles tournament but in a group competition like this it's a bit rubbish.

That Tipsaravic/Raonic match went on for a bit. 10-8 in the final set.

I can't seem to get the Davis cup site to load- and can't find a coherent schedule. I want to know when Spain are playing

They're on now, Raahh. 30-30 in the first game.

Murray/Flemming doing well in doubles.

Nadal/Lopez have broken to win the first game.

I don't really like the Davis Cup live scores site.

This doesn't look very competitive this match between Spain and the Ukraine.

Raahh · 14/09/2013 15:50

Me neither, Clay- it's not very clear.

Bit of an unusual position for Spain, being in the play-offs!

I have just realised I went shopping without any make-up on. Explains why people were hiding their dcs from me in AsdaGrin

ClayDavis · 14/09/2013 15:54

I get so used to not being able to wear any make up to work that I very rarely put it on any more. People must hide from me all the time.

Do you think tech really has forgotten?

I hope soGrin

Though the whingers who wondered why it was there, when they didn't get one for the golf/football/tiddlywinks etc, might remind himSad

I think it may remain unnoticed, until the witches hats re-surfaceGrin

Some one did use it in chat earlier.

Looks like we've won the doubles. Not sure I'd want to predict the remaining 2 GB single results. I'd like Evans to win and Murray should beat Dodig...

Phew! Spain are through.

ClayDavis · 15/09/2013 13:37

Though Nadal was supposed to be playing today but maybe not.

First set to Dan Evans.

Report
Raahh · 15/09/2013 14:05

I don't suppose he is needed now, since Spain are through. Would have been nice if he had been playing though.

Metz starts tomorrow and Tsonga is scheduled to play- suddenly Wimbledon seems ages ago!

Report
ClayDavis · 15/09/2013 14:26

Hope Tsonga is fully recovered. Set point to Evans in the 2nd.

Report
ClayDavis · 15/09/2013 14:29

Why is he only playing 2 sets? Is it because Murray has already won?

I think I've got it. The last singles matches become best of 3 not best of 5 if you've already won the series. Or something like that.

I have been in and out all day,and can't keep up with anything. And the Davis cup site is so annoying me.

I hope Tsonga is fit too.

JuanPotatoTwo · 16/09/2013 17:46

Davis cup site drives me mad! Why can't they make it nice and easy for us and put it on the telly? Although if tennis was on the tv whenever there was a tournament, I guess I'd not get very much done!

Taking my ds1 back to uni tomorrow, there will be tears (mine obviously, not his).

Raahh · 16/09/2013 17:59

Juan - I'd never get anything done either not that i do now Grin

Good luck tomorrow .

I'm a rubbish mother. I forgot school clubs started today, so dd1 missed football (she wasn't fussed- it was rainingGrin). Ds was able to go to his club, but it did mean me making unnecessary trips. I am a numpty.

I'm hoping for a solid start from Tsonga when he plays his first match at the Metz tournament.
