Hello Lovelies.

Marking place.

Blimey, I turn my back for 5 minutes, and Halep seems to losing it too.

GrouchyKiwi · 07/06/2017 13:49

Wow, good stuff Thiem!

Such a shame about Carreno-Busta, but glad Rafa is through.

Halep fighting back now. That was a surprising score at 5-0. She is a noisy one, though.

BringMeTea · 07/06/2017 14:23

Is it wrong to want this over so Murray gets on sooner?

GrouchyKiwi · 07/06/2017 14:46

Ah, but this is fascinating!

BringMeTea · 07/06/2017 14:54

It is now! Game on though Halep's grunting is getting to me. Grin

GrouchyKiwi · 07/06/2017 14:57

Definitely. It's a very loud grunt.

Svitolina must be feeling rather low right now. Wonder if she'll be able to pick herself up and put on a good fight for this set.

DramaAlpaca · 07/06/2017 15:00

Jane that's tough for your DS, a very intense week then trying to keep your motivation up during a week when you don't have any exams... Not fun. Does he have two tomorrow, or just the one?

I popped home for lunch & stayed a bit longer than I should've done, watching the Halep/Svitolina match. It's a fascinating one OK. I see it's now level, so the final set will be very interesting.

JaneJeffer · 07/06/2017 15:52

Just English Paper 2 tomorrow afternoon Juan then two each Friday, Monday and Tuesday. It'll give him a chance to study for the last two the following week but it would be nice to get them all over at once. No sign of the usual Leaving Cert. heatwave so far!

I see Halep came back and won.

GrouchyKiwi · 07/06/2017 16:05

Not a great start for Andy.

Good luck to your son, Jane. Smile

DramaAlpaca · 07/06/2017 16:07

Oh yes, I forgot, the sun is usually splitting the stones the day the Leaving Cert starts, it's traditional!

Andy needs to get his act together. Glad Halep won.

Raahh · 07/06/2017 16:21

I'm glad Halep won.

I'm not bothered who wins this one. Grin

DramaAlpaca · 07/06/2017 17:24

Well Stan has sailed through without much of a bother. Good for him.

Raahh · 07/06/2017 17:44

I like Stan. I also like Cilic, but I am glad Stan is through.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 07/06/2017 18:05

oooh match point for Andy

JaneJeffer · 07/06/2017 18:08

Thanks Grouchy.

Well done Andy, just saw a bit of the tie-break. Nishikori looked tired. Glad Stan won too.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 07/06/2017 18:08

I'm glad Stan is through too.

Good for Murray I guess.

Why did the Spanish player retire?

JaneJeffer · 07/06/2017 18:10

Abdominal injury.

DramaAlpaca · 07/06/2017 18:19

There seem to have been a lot of retirements this tournament.

Good for Andy, another semi beckons.

Raahh · 08/06/2017 18:38

I have not been able to watch anything today. Until now. I really want Halep to win this- although i've been impressed by Pliskova this week. I don't usually watch much of the women. I think the absence of Serena, and the constant discussion about her , and her Serena slam etc, has been a good thing. I has allowed other players into the limelight.

JaneJeffer · 08/06/2017 22:19

I was hoping Bacsinszky would get through. Ostapenko and her both had their birthdays yesterday!

You're right about Serena not being their Raahh. Makes it more interesting.

DramaAlpaca · 08/06/2017 22:55

I like Halep, she's such a fighter & never gives up, and her ability to get balls back is amazing.

It's going to be an interesting final, and I agree it's more interesting having different players coming through.

By the way, our lovely JuanPotatoTwo asked me to say hello from her to all the tennis thread ladies Smile

JaneJeffer · 08/06/2017 23:21

*There not their! Have to correct it because it's annoying me Grin

Should be some good tennis tomorrow. Hope I get to see some of it.

DramaAlpaca · 08/06/2017 23:26

Haha Jane, I didn't notice and I'm a total pedant but far too polite to comment if I did Grin

I won't get to see much I don't think as I have to be at work, dammit.

GrouchyKiwi · 08/06/2017 23:44

Halep has really impressed me with her fightbacks.

~waves to lovely Juan~

Raahh · 09/06/2017 00:08

Hello Juan xxx

am looking forward to the men's semis ( oo-er) . I'm think Rafa should have the edge , especially as it is 5 sets. Murray and Stan could be interesting. if the right Stan turns up, Andy will be in trouble.
