New TENNIS thread here! Montreal starts Monday at 5pm Sky sports 3!

[GameSetAndMatch]

Yipee! the Rogers cup. Live!!!!
lead up time to the US Open! Yay!

there is also WTA tennis on eurosport atm but i never seem to catch it live and when I put it on ita always Radwanska and Cibulkova match!.

Federer has withdrawn from montreal citing a back injury-rare for him.

dont know if rafas playing, havent heard hide or hair (or bum!) from him since Wimbledon .

and wheres Andy gone? must have finished his hols by now.

anyway cant wait for Monday!

[Raahh]

Game- that is brilliant- but you'd never remember it if you accidentally logged out! I do this all the time

[GameSetAndMatch]

just had to log back in and couldn't remember Game!!!!

Right, ill lay claim to Kubot for the US open start!! Cuba just came on radio again as we were listening to radio (shit tv till now) before the match. well, we were flitting between radio and womens match. wanted Li Na to win.

[Raahh]

It's an omen!

[Raahh]

oh rubbish
Raonic won the first set. I don't like him at the moment

[ClayDavis]

It's OK Raahh, Pospisil looks like he's walking the second. As far as I can tell. It's difficult when you only have numbers refreshing on a screen.

[Raahh]

yay! go Pospisil! 5-1 in the second!

[Raahh]

Clay x-post with the screen thing!

[ClayDavis]

Wimbledon has spoilt me. It's always better when you can actually see the tennis.

[Raahh]

[ClayDavis]

I've haven't had digital TV reception for the 3 years I've been in this flat. The broadband has only been in for a few months so pretty much everything has been either live text or scores updating on my mobile. Other than the Olympics, Wimbledon was the first thing I've watched live in years. Live scores seem a bit disappointing now.

On a completely unrelated topic, I've just read the letter my boss handed me last thing yesterday afternoon. It has the date of my sickness absence monitoring meeting with HR on. It's 11.15am on Monday. I assume they've arranged this with the man who normally accompanies me to these meetings as they usually do. It doesn't really give me a chance to meet with him to discuss the report from Occ Health that I only got on Friday morning. Grrr.

[ClayDavis]

Rafa's taken the first set.

Vamos

[Raahh]

Well done to rafa! VAMOS!
Definitely want him to beat Raonic. Happy day:)

[ClayDavis]

Well done Rafa!

Looks like Murray/Flemming doubles final should be on at 5.30pm UK time and Nadal v Raonic should be on about 8pm.

[GameSetAndMatch]

oh flubber! just put skysports on now as i cant stand you know who.

didnt know the doubles was on! come on Andy and Colin!

doesnt Colin have a wierd serve?

and what with these bright neon shirts atm? i cant see the ball when they have it near them, how can the player on the other side?

and why does the ball always have to be yellow? theyd see a darker colour better!

[Raahh]

yay! they have started .

VAMOS !!!!!

[Raahh]

[Raahh]

ok, I'm a bit ahead of myself

[GameSetAndMatch]

and Ive itched switched off channel! gonna be unsociable now!

Shame about Murray/Fleming but hey, they got to the final.

[GameSetAndMatch]

you know, if I was a fan id have called myself GamesetandSCRATCH (just winding you all up)

and another coincidence- the other day it was Becker on topgear.

just now-switch off sports channel and put radio on and that song 'I touch myself' came on!!!

[Raahh]

4-1 VAMOS!!

[ClayDavis]

Oops, fell asleep and missed the first set refreshing. Vamos.

[Raahh]

VAMOS

[ClayDavis]

I don't think this match is going to take too long.

[GameSetAndMatch]

back one more time and still boycotting !


someone start a new thread tomorrow for Cincinati (pref someone who spells the place right!!)?

[Raahh]

YAY!!

Well done Rafa!!!!!
VAMOS
