TENNIS THREAD- we're nearly done with the red dirt, and looking forward to the green grass!

[Raahh]

yesterday's excitement I didn't realise how near the end of the thread we were!

I thought I’d imagined the bit about logs and waterfalls but then Jim Courier repeated it. Sounds very intriguing - may need to google it.

Can’t see Thiem coming back now - he is playing some good tennis but Rafa has just taken it up another level.

Or getting the urge to watch Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves?!?

Re Xisca - yep she sure does!

Ooh they just mentioned the waterfall thing on the radio!! (I'm back in the kitchen now doing dinner.)

Chanda Rubin is commentating on the radio - she is really good.

I don't know how Xisca manages to remain so calm. Though she's had a lot of practice. I'm just a no-one, and I get nervous and have to wander off and hide in the kitchen sometimes .

Dh is supposed to be doing dinner. It has still meant rather a lot of input from me. Thank goodness for ad breaks .

Oh yes the old I'll do dinner, how do you cook this again trick!

I don’t know how she manages to look so composed either. I’ve sometimes had to resort to hiding under my hoody - I think I did that last year when Rafa lost at wimbledon.

Hopefully no need for you to hide in your kitchen today Raahh

Jane yep- it's a bloody chicken read the label! . Well, it's not bloody

Fizzy @ hiding in your hoody. Sometimes I sit on my stairs. My dc think I'm nuts.

Oh, no. No cramp. No. This is not good.

No-ones getting fed here until the match has finished . DH just wandered in and moaned about the length of time each game is taking.

Oh dear what’s happened to Rafa’s hand?

I'm getting flashbacks to the Aussie final now.

We're having chicken as well Raahh - well, chicken pie. DS is helping me (only on the "good" bits though like crimping the pastry etc!).
Rafa seems to have recovered. That was a bit odd.

Oh sorry - I see the trainer is on for Rafa...

This might be where I need to hide in the kitchen.

Vamos

We’re having chicken pie too Private - not sure what time we’ll be having it though

Hope that Rafa is OK - might need to go and get my hoody

Fizzy is there room in your hoody for 2?

Vamos. Wouldn't be good to have a rain delay now.

Dom seems more affected by this than Rafa at the moment.

Raahh. Not sure if rain would be a good or bad thing right now.

Come out from your kitchens and your hoodies. I think he's going to be ok.

Rafa is finding some amazing shots. he just needs to make this quick- before he seizes up!

Jane

That's the first time Dom has got one of those over.

Oh flip.

Still feeling nervous

Thank goodness!
