Happy New Year tennis folks (and others of course, if there are any) :)

Getting very very excited to see Pot back in action, feel like a hyperactive child rather than a middle aged woman. He didn't make it to Brisbane so wasn't counting on Sydney but he's there. Look:

Dunno about saying it to himself but def heard Idemooo quite a lot also from another Serb player I used to follow (Janko Tipsaravic) . Here is quote from Djoko.

Cheer for me of your there or sent a tweet to #nolefam IDEMOOO!!

Andys playing like a muppet!

Raahh · 01/02/2015 10:22

They seem to be a lot more lax here over letting spectators wander about.

purpleprincess · 01/02/2015 10:31

Gee there are some idiots in the crowd.....

Not finding this very exciting tbh...last year watching Stan and Rafa was on the edge of my seat but that was probably more to do with who was playing Grin and wanting Stan to win....

Finding AC annoying but watching for HD and lack of adverts.

HiawathaDidntBotherTooMuch · 01/02/2015 10:37

Right! Energy recovered!

Raahh · 01/02/2015 10:39

Well, that was interesting.

i agree this isn't that exciting really- but there are some great shots. It is just a bit up and down.

I miss Rafa's shortsSad

Raahh · 01/02/2015 10:40

I really, really need to do the ironing....

purpleprincess · 01/02/2015 10:53

Raah you can do ironing while watching. Just be careful. You have to do the actual ironing bit between points....

Raahh · 01/02/2015 10:57

Ds's uniform might get a bit burnt...Grin

Bloody hell, I don't think dh has used the hoover in the 23 years we've been together. He thinks now is a good time to begin?

Men, eh Juan Grin

DD1 wanted to know why Murray was shouting at his towelGrin.

Come on , Djok. My children will be going to school in pyjamas at this rate.

FannyFifer · 01/02/2015 12:02

C'mon Tim!

Raahh · 01/02/2015 12:05

I have made progress.

I have set up the board, and moved the washing basket to the living room.

Now I have sat down.

Tennis

Djok looking stronger in this set.

Abandon the ironing Raahh, these are mitigating circumstances.

Raahh · 01/02/2015 12:20

I have ironed one sweatshirt, and turfed dd2 off my laptop.

Could this be a bagel? How embarrassing would that beGrin

Raahh · 01/02/2015 12:22

Don't blow it now (maybe i should go back to the ironing).

Murray really falls apart mentally when he isn't winning, doesn't he? Nothing has changed.

yay! Djok has won. As predicted at the start of the tournament.

Raahh · 01/02/2015 12:24

It wasn't a classic final. It was very bitty. But ultimately, Djok deserved to win it.

Raahh · 01/02/2015 12:26

He could have killed someone with that racquetGrin
