NEW TENNIS THREAD! Happy 2016! Gearing up for the Aussie Open.

[Raahh]

Here we are again- last year has flown. Soon be Wimbledon.

Hope everyone is well- very wet here (NW).

So, Qatar has started, Rafa has won his first round in Doha after a shaky start. So that's already better than last year!
Hopman cup underway.

Here's to an exciting 2016, Olympic year, can anyone stop Djok, who is starting to look unbeatable?

I'm really hoping Rafa can have a better year, and of course there is a wee Murray on the way . (Might not be a fan of Andy, but babies are always good news).

bewildered

So shocked cant spell.

I think Djok came out all guns blazing, and Murray hasn't really found any rhythm. And his unforced error rate is high. He's muttering a lot, and Amelie looks tired.

(I could be a court side reporter)

In other news, I like Djok's trainers, nice shade of blue with yellow laces.

Oh. Novak the Terminator.

Maybe Amelie's little one kept her up ? Teething ?

Andy's got it all to come....

Don't like Novak's 'clothing range'.

Did you see nole's little face on the tongue as well?

The fist pumping thing is annoying me- mainly because it reminds me of the awful 'Just eat' Chicken madras advert.

Much better from Murray this game- he just needs to win it.

And they are both a bit noisy.

Commentators are sounding a bit more positive . Earlier it was 'if he goes 2 sets down, he's got no chance.' .

Right.

COME ON ANDY !

Break the fucking terminator fucker for fucks sake...

Noise is good. Shows effort is required.

Vommentators are probably right. Unfortunately.

BELIEVE.

Has Murray stopped wearing his wedding ring on his shoes? I haven't heard it mentioned this year- and it was pretty much all they could talk about during RG and Wimbledon

That advert gives me the rage. I'd happily punch both of them.

His face?

He was wearing it on his finger last night filming Jamie.

I just assumed yes he does still wear it on his shoes during matches. Or a cheapo version anyway.

MrsV- every time I see it, I imagine the poor actress seeing her career go down the toilet.

Raahh

Square (Lego) heads easy to copy & print.

Boris still hasn't discovered sunscreen.

Raahh

She's an actual actress ? Hmmm. Reckon she didn't get through on x factor or the voice meself.

I'm assuming she's an actress. She might just be the only person who fit the costume.

COME ON ANDY !

BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK

Raahh Probably more likely.

That was an amazing rally.

Oh fuck it.

this is pretty scary.

Blimey *Hugo8 that is very sinister. It's a step up from a monogrammed cardigan, that's for sure!

Oh fuckity fuck!
