TENNIS THREAD!- From the Road to Rio, to Flushing Meadows...

999 replies

Raahh · 09/08/2016 23:14

before my phone decides to give up altogether, here's a new thread to get us on our way.

Andy Murray still in the Olympic Singles, as is Rafa,

Jo Konta through for the women.

Lots of missing names from the top players- but we are edging towards the US open- without Federer- and who knows, maybe even without Djokovic.

Could we be heading for all change at the top?

Years ago, when Murray won the US Open, I watched it via a dodgy live streaming site. Wish I could remember what site it was so I could try it again Sad

Pouille has completely lost his momentum this game, Rafa has 2 set points.

Right, that was 2 sets in an hour and a quarter. If he can win the next 2 sets in an hour, I can go to bed at a reasonable timeGrin

Arghh! Mac keeps calling Novak, Djoke a vic. It bugs me.

That always annoys me during Wimbledon too. In fact, Johhny Mac seems to make up his own pronunciations of a lot of names: 'Del Poh-troh' is particularly irritating.

I am supposed to be in bed! Mind you, the dog decided to start barking at fresh air, so was a good thing I was already up.

I am feeling very nervous.

And I can't decide whether to be thankful for the tie break in the 5th or not...

It relies so much on serve, which has not been Rafa's strongest point so far today.

Vamos- I have not stayed up this late on a school night for you lose, Rafa. get it over with!! Grin

It also means the Kyle match won't start for ages.Unless the kerber match is a double bagel. I know they play until the early hours, but I wonder just how late they carry on?
