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).

The dog woke me up extra early (thanks dh). I am not fussed who wins- but think it will be Djok.

I am trying to get dd1 to make me a coffee so I don't have to move.
Dh thinks I am nuts for sacrificing my Sunday morning lie-in.

Just switched the telly on. Not a good start!! Come on andy!!!

Djok is not messing about, is he?

Fuck! Murray has forgotten how to play tennis

But I've just seen that Terry Wogan has died and I'm in shock.

Oh what! Nooo

At this rate I'm going to have time for a shower and breakfast out before DH's appointment . Let's go Andy!

Cant watch as guessing Andy wiil lose. Sad about Terry wogan, worst january ever for famous people dying. My mum loved his morning radio show.

What was the warning for?

Oh my goodness, I have jinxed/cursed him haven't I ?

I'm not saying who I'm supporting again. Should I even think it ?

Also just seen about Sir Tel. RIP.

Its also agonising watching the score lines change on the website. Its horrible not watching.

Its not much fun watching either

Sorry, hug.

This is so painful. What's with all the shots into net?

He really is Andy's nemesis. Oh well.

No apologies necessary.

This painful, why do I put myself through it?

Cheers, hug.

Still, he will soon be a dad and thats more important than this..

Usually hug its because we BELIEVE.

I know we ordinarily reserve our BELIEVES for Rafa, but COME ON ANDY !

Its very hard BELIEVING.

Yy, The80s. I'm hoping if he loses he'll not mind as much.

Now you are talking!

Even the commentators don't really sound like they believe, MrsV.

Blimey, Raahh.

Is he playing badly ? Or is it more Novak is out-playing him ? Sheer brute force, what ?

Anyone else got 'Don't stop believing' in their head now?
