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).

Buggering bollocks.

Andy don't let him win in 3. Please.

Raahh I think its blooming arrogant.

2 sets to Djok.

Murray has never come back from 2 sets down against him.

So they keep bloody saying.

Tries to keep believing

Doesn't sound like Novak will have a dip, does it ? I had a teeny bit of hope when I saw those double faults.

Maybe Jamie was right, Andy should have been tucked up in bed.

I always BELIEVE right to the bitter end.

Then I cry.

Just thought I'd ask.

Are you hug or hugo ?

Poor Andy.

Hugo, don't tell me you don't know who hugoagogo is?

I don't mind hug though, it sounds cute

Sorry, no I don't. I think. Should I ?

So I can call you either ?

I like hug.

hug-oagogo.

He is batfink's nemesis here

That make me sound very exotic

see how I am distracting myself from the tennis?

Oh ! Yes, I have heard of him. Sorry.

Its been years since my DS watched ant kids tv, you forget some things.

You'll have to be hugo then. Otherwise I shall feel I'm being rude not addressing you properly.

any ffs.

I like exotic.

Tennis is horrible. Bleurgh.

I have sooooo much to do.

And yet, here I am, sat watching a match I don't really care about. Still in my dressing gown. Just because it is tennis.

I just feel sorry for Andy.

Is it on normal to anywhere? Want to punish myself and watch if I can...

Normal TV I mean

I don't think it is Babs.

I'm still in pjs too. I did wonder if I should have a bath and take no notice of the match but I couldn't help myself.

I'm not supporting anyone else all year, right ?

I might even change my nn. It feels jinxed/cursed now.

Fucking Novak. Grrrrrrrr.

No Babs. Highlights on bbc later, though there's none to watch it seems.

Noooo, you can't change your name! Pretend it's in honour of a different Spaniard.

Now that was better from Murray.

And he's broken Djok. If he wins this set, I might have to move and do something.
