US OPEN TENNIS Thread! Let the late nights commence.

[Raahh]

New thread for the US open.

Am hoping to get round to seeing some of it, but in the meantime, I am limbering up my refresh finger.

there was aguy this morning on This morning who from the nose up looked just like Roger Federer!

anyone see him? think hes from Breaking bad, which I don't watch.

everyones looking like Rog these days!

so boring without tennis on tv.

Albert hall will be on soon though.

LOVE Mas ur Bahrami (sp) and Henri leconte.

and Paul Macnamara is funny in the doubles.

I love Bahrami and Laconte. Have seen them at Wimbledon a couple of times. Very very funny.

I hear Andy has popped the question to Kim - hats out again everyone :)

I got excited briefly yesterday - dd told me that through her work she could get me front row tickets for men's finals at Wimbledon. "Brill" says I. ""Yeah, they're only £3000" says dd.

Yeah they do that. 'Getting' tickets just means you 'get' the opportunity to buy them.

My Dad used to get them through the work he did for his local tennis club. That just meant he got first refusal on that chance to buy a pair.

Just popping in.

I can't believe it's December- is it really 6 months since the great summer of tennis

Rafa is back in training. I have faith in him returning and winning the Aussie open

Hi Raahh. Glad to hear Rafa's back in training. I've just started reading his autobiography. I've had it for ages but just got round to reading it.

Pot set to come back in Brisbane on 4 Jan. Really hope it happens this time but I won't get my hopes up til I see him on court, in his shorts and with a racquet in his hand!

What about Andy parting ways with Danny? They've been together for ages.

Good news about Pot. Fingers crossed he will stay injury free.

I was surprised about Andy and Danny. I always thought they were best friends

Latest rumours re Pot are that his left wrist is hurting him. But they are just rumours, and I'll remain optimistic with some help from the Baileys until anything is confirmed/denied.

Merry Christmas to all my fellow tennis fans, and here's to a happy, healthy and tennis-filled 2015 to you all :)

Merry Christmas to you, too, Juan and to the rest of your family including adorable little Farley

Merry Christmas to all the lovely tennis fans on this thread. I've really enjoyed talking tennis & everything else under the sun with you all this year, and look forward to doing it all again in 2015 x

And a Merry Christmas from me to.

Will be sharpening my sword for battles with Pesky over El Pot in January!

Save your energy muddled, you've lost that battle :)

Here's Farley with some Christmas sweets.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

I have never lost a battle - pesky!!

It might be the season of goodwill but........................

Completely lost this thread.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Happy New Year everyone! Looking forward to a good year of tennis- not lon to the Aussie open!!

I completely lost this thread for some reason.
How is everyone?
Happy new year
Just saw the potato news on Eurosport, bless him not the start to the year im sure he was hoping for, fingers crossed he can make a return for Melbourne.

Yay watching Rafa and Muzzan in Eurosport. Great to have him back (Rafa sigh) even though he's not playing great,

Didn't hear the potato news but guess that's not good....

happy new year and great to see Tennis back on tv.

Ferrer playing Chewbacca now .

Chewbacca looks a bit like Christopher Ecclestone IMO.

.

I have just seen Rafa lost.

It's not the best start

Small consolation that he is through in the doubles.

I can't believe it is nearly the Aussie open!!

Congratulations to Ferrer in Doha!- if Nadal couldn't retain his singles title, I'm glad Ferrer won instead.

And some good news, Potato has been practicing. Can't believe he's been out nearly a year!

Good result for Stan- though still not convinced he can successfully defend his Aussie title.

And the other finalist was Aljaz Bedene- who want to play for GB (though there are GB players who are not happy about this). Anyway- he seems like a pretty nifty player.

Yay potato!
