The All New TENNIS Thread. For those with Sky and those without.

[IAmNotLouise]

Accidentally filled up the last thread without realising.

Have the day off today so can sit and watch the tennis scores update.

We still have too.

Oh lucky you - men's or women's. When are you going to watch? Are you MN-ing pool-side?! Players just come on court in Shanghai.

Both. Women's on Eurosport and men's on a Turkish channel but does have English commentary, fortunately.

Vamos Potato

They can't have many ball girls/boys to choose from, I've seen the same faces in all of the matches I've watched.

Here we go.

Close.

Oh dear, Pot's first service game and he's been broken.

I thought he was going to break back there.

Me too.

Ooh not sure I can watch.

Oh dear.

Oh no. Maybe I shouldn't watch Potato play. I don't seem to be bringing him much luck.

5-0 to Novak - match is running away from Pot.

Is it your fault Clay?!

I think it might be. This is the first tennis I've watched since Wimbledon and it's not going well for him. Don't worry though, I'm about to go out for lunch.

Come on Potato.

Ok don't like this. What must it be like to be Pot's mum watching this? Enjoy your lunch.

Oh no! This is the first time I've been able to get on as the Internet is playing up.

C'mon potato!!

God I've inadvertently been posting on a thread in chat.

On phone to my dad - that's why Pot doing better cos I'm not concentrating on him.

Well the spectre of Juan's mum has done the trick (hopefully).

I've just had to explain on the thread I've been wrongly posting on who Pot is! Maybe we can get him some new fans.

Why does Djok do that thing where he opens his eyes really wide for a second or so I wonder. Is it to wake himself up or is it to do with his contact lenses?

Ooh ooh ooh, Pot must be really scared of his mum - just won second set. Phew.

I am lurking as can't watch!

Clay - are you in Turkey? If so I am vvvvvvvvvv jealous. My favourite country.

Not sure my nerves can stand to watch third set you'll have to kill me to get me away from the screen

Oh hi magi. Yes Clay is in Turkey, don't talk to her! :)
