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.

Thanks, Raahh.

Already have Rafa, Potato,Fed, Murray and Heather Watson. And ATP and Australian Open. Anybody wandering onto my page is going to think I have a tennis obsession.

Clay

Oh thank you Zygones - it wasn't an invitation for me to go and watch him play then?!

Clay - hi, haven't seen you for a while. I follow Djok also but I know he's not everyone's cup of tea.

Hello all
Did anyone watch the Eurosport feed from Brisbane at stupid o clock this morning? Fed was on fire and the court was super fast. I thought I had accessed a crack in the space/time continuum and been transported to 2007 Fed.

Also, the lovely Mirka and cute twins were in attendance in matching outfits!

Semi final at 6 am tomorrow, zzzz

My you tube went right through to the end. I speak fluent Spanish & he was saying how much he is looking forward to seeing me - again.

Magi, I hope you scrub up well then . If I may proffer a little hint - ditch the fag.

Such a shame I can't post a pic here of how very well I 'scrub up'!!!

I assume he will be playing at Queens prior to Wimbledon? I live in hope that he might come to Eastbourne (just down the road from me).

Actually, if the weather is OK, Eastbourne is a great place to come & see some tennis. All the courts are quite small & you feel really close to the players & often see them en route to dressing rooms etc.

If El Potato comes to Eastbourne I would be fainting with joy!

Watching Pospisil v Wawrinka at moment. Lots of empty seats - I guess tennis isn't v accessible/popular in India. Stan has a breathtaking backhand.

Glad Roger seems to be back on form, seems his off season training has paid off.

Just checking the Nadal/Monfils scores- pretty easy for Rafa so far. Much as i love Monfils, I want Rafa to win.

Vamos !

Raahh, what have you done to the second set? It was easy, now it seems to have gone wrong.

Vamos

I KNOW!! Buggeration!

Vamos !!

grr

vamos

Third set's going much better. Vamos

Just found you all again :)
3 rd set is looking good, c'mon rafa

phew!

yay!! Vamos- good start to 2014, Rafa, even if each match has had it's shaky moments.

Welcome back Mama

Thanks clay
And yay rafa!

Did anyone else wake to see Hewitt? Good match right result
And it put both my 6 week and 1 year old back to sleep so I watched in relative peace.

No I didn't wake up to see it, and really sorry, but really don't like Hewitt! Having said that, I'm not Roger's biggest fan either, but I did want him to win. I'm impressed that you got up to watch - does your six week old sleep through yet?

Goodness no, neither of them do-hence I will get to watch plenty of tennis at odd hours over the next few weeks-every cloud and all that

Good point! Wish they'd had more tennis coverage when my dc were small.

Lauras out of the Aussie open now with another injury! wheres Heather?

and congrats to Rory and Caroline on theiur engagement!

anyone know whats happened with Vera Zvonoreva? haven't seen her around for yonks.

Live tennis on you tube but it's nearly finished now. Fed v Tsonga.

Good to see Del Potato and Ferrer through to their respective semi's.

@ Clay - good name change.

It's an excellent name change. I love it. Thank you. Much more useable than your other suggestion.

Aussie Open draw is out. www.ausopen.com/en_AU/scores/draws/ms/index.html

Rafa's got Tomic in the first round. Wonder if Tomic's dad will be there.
