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?)

Ferrer's birthday today Raahh, best you send him birthday wishes :). Are you feeling better?

I think that was an April Fool too Drama.

oooh- Happy Birthday, David!

Juan - I'm feeling a bit better, thanks- but totally knackered. I have also been swigging gaviscon- I have only ever had heartburn when pregnant. (which I am not )I'm not sleeping very well though, so just feel a bit washed out. The dcs have been really good, and dh has tweaked all his work hours to do various pick ups and drop offs- which they don't mind because he did 2 extra days last week.

I need to be ok- school holidays start Friday - can't face it if I'm under the weather!

2 weeks asleep woud be nice!

Yep, it was an April Fool. I've been had

Happy birthday David Ferrer & hope you'll feel better soon, Raahh.

Raahh - nothing worse than feeling under the weather when you can't hide under the duvet. Hopefully, you can have a quiet week and recuperate for the hols. Your dh sounds ace. I can't remember if I've said this on here before but my ds1, who was a very sensible eater anyway, started to suffer badly from heartburn from the age of about 16. He used to go through Gaviscon like nobody's business - and it's not exactly cheap. He ended up on some prescription medication which he really didn't want to take as it was strong stuff. Anyway (there is a point to me divulging ds's medical history, promise!) since he's a Djok fan, I bought him Djok's book for Xmas. After reading it, he decided he had nothing to lose so gave up gluten - and hey presto - after about ten to fourteen days - no more indigestion/heartburn. He does struggle a bit being a poor student, but by and large, he's stayed off it and feels a whole heap better.

Juan- that's amazing! I'm wondering if mine was triggered by taking migraleve, it's one of the side effects- and it's years since I last took it. I don't usually take it, but the headache part of the migraine seemed different.

This afternoon I feel much better. So, I should be ok by the weekend.

If you're swigging gaviscon, I'd go to the GP and get some omeprazole. I get a short course a couple of times a year, then it keeps it away completely for a while.

Thanks Rafa- I'm due an appointment next week, so I will mention it then.

Hi, I don't like there being no tennis on :(. Andy supposedly suffering from gastroenteritis so not attending his press commitments today.

Me neither but Davis cup on today Juan- we are saved!

Are they showing DavisvCup anywhere does anyone know? It's not on TennisTv.

It's on Eurosport and will be on bbc2 later (only GB matches) but the GB v Italy match has been rain delayed due to start on court at about 12.30 according to Eurosport they are just running replays at the moment.

1 set a piece between fognini and ward, ward is playing great

Thanks Mama, watching it in bbc2 now.

I love murray and his vest.

Well ward lost but at least he made a fight of it.
Let's hope Murray can win, though they just said it won't finish tonight.

Gawd- Murray really pisses me off when he goes into the muttering & munting mode.

Has no one ever told him to go & see a sports phsycologist?

DH was (jokingly ?) saying that maybe Johnnie Mac would be the best coach for him!!!!!!!!!

The state of the courts in Naples is another thing - I am amazed that there were not more complaints!

Andy does himself no favours sometimes. I think his on-court muttering and mumbling etc was something Lendl worked on with him, and he does seem better these days. Be interesting to see if the bad habits creep up on him again now. Bit shocking that Stan lost his match.

Didn't see Stan's match, but was also a bit amazed at his loss.

If Andy were my son he'd be sent to bed with no dinner!!

Such immature behaviour.

Was mummy Judy there?

Don't let me rant about Murray's poor attitude. Because I will, you know.

Go on, you know you want to.

No- i didn't see what set him off today- so i will wait to see what he does next...because it won't be the only time.

He's probably armed with a lot of rackets

The Murray/Seppi match is continued on BBC2 at 9.30 this morning.

Anyone watching? I have house of sleeping teens, bliss.

Amazing how Murray suddenly upped the level in those two last games.

I so wish he would stop thew mini tantrums.

I feel sorry for Ross Hutchins - he has been dropped from the doubles.
