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.

Pot and Fed through.

Some good matches to come today. Think Novak v Wawrinka will be interesting. Can't imagine Gasquet giving Nadal too much trouble, likewise Berdych v Ferrer. Slightly nervous re Federer/Pot - Federer seems to be hitting a high point, and Pot looks bit tired. Wonder which win Pot considers more important, this week or the wtf.

Where are you all anyway?! Are you off having exciting half terms?!

I am currently panicking about packing for ds's trip to China on Tuesday. I am in denial

Watching start of Fed v Pot. French are doing something flashy with lights, hope players can see better than I can. It's dark, and they're fumbling in their bags - having visions of Pot pulling his clean pants out by mistake in the dark!

Oh he'll be fine Raahh, really. I know that you know that, but I also know how you feel (not sure any of that previous sentence made sense). He'll be back before you know it, having had a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience.

They must be trying to save money on the leccy bill, lights off during change overs.

I would bloody hate to be Pot's mum - the crowd are so pro-Fed. It's making me ache for him (although I'm sure Pot is well used to it), can't imagine how his Mum feels.

Uh oh, 4-1 in first set. Lights are off again.

I'm sorry Roger, you're going to have to have some sort of facial reconstruction - the resemblance to my brother is too much. Oh actually, I suppose my brother could have the reconstruction. I could help

oh no! c'mon Del potato!

Dh has the afternoon off, so I sent him off to do the school run
wouldn't mind, butthey've got to go back to school at 5pm for a 'spooky disco'

I've just realised the Hallowe'en smileys have scarpered.

Oh bollocks, live feed has stopped working. It did this yesterday too. Pot looking tired today. Fed looking young and spritely.

Feed back on and Fed has won first set.

Maybe Fed has been taking Delpot's magic medicine?
C'mon Del Pot!

Did you know (and, more importantly, did you want to know) that Pot only has two racquets thatbhevplays with? They're the remaining two from the batch he had when he won the us open in 2009 and he gets them restrung every day. I think that's quite amazing.

And he's not playing too well today, whereas Fed is playing extremely well.

Ooh, Pot just jumped over the net (made it look like it was about two inches high). He and Roger really seem to like each other.

Pot won second set but I have to say I don't know how. Fed has outplayed him for majority of the match and Pot has looked r pissed off. Still, I'm not complaining:)

All the switching off of the lights is giving me a headache.

Looks Like it will be an interesting 3rd set. Come on Fed. and Potato

Hello Clay.

Hello. Changed work hours because of Occ Health appointment so set for an afternoon of tennis. Or at least tennis scores

Fed has broken to go 3-2 in third set

Sorry, Potato, but come on Fed.

He's about to be broken back.

Pot broken right back :)

And Rog breaks again
