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.

Better make the most of the open windows - guessing it'll be too stormy to keep them open tomorrow. Going on holiday is obviously the answer to getting over smoke smells!

That's why I'm not airing it out properly yet. It's mostly the bedroom. Once the storm's passed I'll borrow a dehumidifier and then take all the curtains,pillows etc. down the laundrette and put them through a hot wash. But if it's going to dump another 2-4cm of rain on Monday there's no point doing it this afternoon. I hate this flat.

How long have you lived there? It's shit living somewhere you don't like isn't it? Affects everything.

3-4 years. It's OK as small 1 bedroom flats go. It's the cheapest I'm going to get round here. But the bedroom is pretty much no go for keeping stuff in. Particularly stuff like fabric(clothes etc) and books because they just go mouldy.

I've never left it for 2 weeks at a time though.I think that's the problem. I know it will go in a couple of days. Have febreezed the fuck out of it so it's not so bad now. That limited edition apple and spice stuff it quite potent

Maybe there's a reason it's limited edition - if you start to feel nice and mellow send some to me :)

I think it must be some sort of Christmas thing. It's a bit overpowering if I'm honest with you but might as well put it to good use.

I won't be sending any to Cilic. Unsurprisingly he's had is ban reduced. Don't want to give them another reason to ban him.

No he had enough trouble getting them to believe him when he said it was in medication, he'd have no chance with the "but it was Christmas room spray m'lud" defence!

Roger serving for the match now.

Ooh, Pospisil broke him so not over yet. I've never heard the Swiss crowd so animated, they're really getting behind Rog. Different crowd from previous match - you could've heard a pin drop.

Pospisil has changed from an orange top to a white one just to confuse me.

Second set tb

Second set to Pospisil.

Oh dear, Roger just went from 40-0 to being broken. I like Pospisil but I feel sorry for Rog.

Ok Rog just broken back. Back on serve.

Roger wins

Well done to Roger - but hopefully Del potato will be in a better frame of mind tomorrow. He's on a roll with tournament wins.

Yay for Roger. Good for him to get some match wins under his belt. I'm goingto be conflicted with a Potato v Fed final though.

How are you getting on with the Agassi book dRaah? No conflict for me tomorrow.

You supporting Fed then, Juan?

Juan- I haven't been able to read it this week,in between being ill, and the dcs being off school. I am determined to read it next week!

I don't dislike Fed Clay, but I think the whole world must know by now who my favourite is :) Im a sad old lady ....

dRaahh, hope you have a better week coming up. It's half term for us this week so not anticipating much tennis watching time.

So, first set going with serve. I like Fed but he bears an unfortunate resemblance to my arse of a brother. I'm kind of forever having to remind myself it's Fed not xxxx, therefore I shouldn't harbour such hard feelings towards him.

Crowd obv very partisan, hope Pot doesn't feel bad.

Wonder if I could get myself hired as security, could stand right behind Pot then and whisper encouragement. Course, if there was any sort of security threat, I'd be worse than useless.

Roger being more vocal than I've ever heard him. I'm convinced something's bothering Pot. Yesterday and today he's seemed irritable. Still with serve in first set.
