TENNIS FANS! New thread -With bouncier balls and clean towels...

[Raahh]

New thread for tennis fans, with or without the ability to watch on tv. Or even live and in person

(When should we start pestering for our back?)

I thought the final would start at 6.30- i forgot about our clocks change, which means Miami is now 5 hours difference instead of 4.

Although i very nearly forgot about the clocks altogether :-}

I don't think it's that it starts at 2.30 in Miami, which would still be 5 hrs. I think their clocks must change to.

I'm limbering up. Refreshing finger is poised and ready to go.

well. even though i really want to 'watch' I have been feeling quite rubbish all day. I've been feeling quite dizzy so think I will take myself to bed (with my phone)

Hope you are feeling better soon. Going with serve so far.

Raahh hope your feeling better soon
5-2 djokovic some amazing play from both though.

Vamos Rafa

Oh bollocks. vamos rafa

First set djokovic- crap
Vamos rafa!

Djokovic already a break up in the second. Not looking good for rafa but ds1 is thrilled!

This isn't going the way I wanted. The football was bad enough, I wanted good news from the tennis.

VAMOS

What was I saying about the top men not losing to each as badly as the women? I have jinxed rafa .:(

Am I the only one rooting for Djok? Rafa looks like he's got the bit between his teeth now so let's see what happens.

Yes, it's all your fault, Raahh,

Has the match stopped or has the live score site crashed? It seems to be stuck on 6-3, 2-1 and a match time of 0:56:14.

What's going on?

Totally your fault raahh
No play still going 5-3 djokovic with a break.

The site has died then. I'm still on 2-1 in the second.

Djok wins 6-3 in the second.

yay Djoko!

Im of the Murray and Djoko camp, not the Rafa one so......spats ahoy!!!

I'm in the Murray/Rafa/Fed camp.

Hopefully, Rafa will put up a bit more of a fight once we're back on clay again.

Did anyone see the "Andy hires Sampras as Coach" thing? I fell for it - was muttering about how Andy'd said he was going to take his time finding a new coach, and here we were, barely two weeks later etc etc. And then, fortunately before I came rushing on here to discuss and express outrage, I twigged! :)

thank goodness for that- 2 players I son't like invilced together would have been dreadful.

involved- seriously, since being ill, my typing has gone south.

And I'm in the RAFA/Ferrer/Potato/Dogsbollock camp (new entry) -capitals intentional.

Also really like Stan, still have a soft spot for Hewitt, and Djok/and Federer are growing on me

And Cilic, I'm quite fond of Cilic.

But really, it's RAFA all the way.

I wonder who Murray's new coach is really going to be? Announcement tomorrow, so I've heard. Most bets seem to be on Mats Wilander and Darren Cahill, who used to coach Andre Agassi. Unless, of course, that's an April Fool as well. If so, I've been well & truly had
