Tennis Thread- WIMBLEDON draws to a close, then it's onwards to the hard courts

[Raahh]

Might be over, this match, before we need the thread

Stan looks like he has had some highlights put in.

I like Stan' s shoes- they have a kangaroo, the Eiffel Tower (,and presumably something to represent the US which I didn't see) for his GS wins.

Poor Halep she just really looked out of sorts today, and so frustrated with herself.
I've managed to change to stand match, just not sure how.....
raahh and magi my picture quality isn't great either, the courts seem to blur and the picture breaks up for a few seconds. I'm going to try on the iPad instead.

so they are all bothered about the shot clock, and the spectators just meander in, wasting time.

Really pisses me off.

Ok so I’ve managed to find Stan and dimitrov - I think the picture quality and camera angles are a bit weird - it seems a bit jerky.

I haven’t tried to watch any other matches yet but it looks as if there are options to watch different matches.

I don’t like change!

I also used to avidly watch the results on Ceefax - I didn’t realise there was a soap opera though

Apparently the soap opera was called Park Avenue and was on the itv teletext version, Oracle.

I also loved the quiz, Bamboozle. If you got one wrong, you had to go back to the beginning.

Stan has set point. Go Stan!

I remember Bamboozle
Go Stan!
Picture seems to be much better on the iPad.
Edmund has lost the second set.

Stan has really improved as the year has gone on, and Grigor has gradually lost focus. I'm not at all surprised at how this is going.

I remember Bamboozle too

I’ve just found the Murray and (jack) Duckworth match - looks as if it’s going with serve in the first set - good to see Murray back (glad that I didn’t really have to buy him a birthday present! )

I've realised there are no adverts. So that's something I suppose.

I can't believe how empty the seats are. I know it's a massive stadium, but still- it's Wawrinka and Dimitrov, at a grand slam. and I bet the tickets are a lot easier to get hold of than Wimbledon ones.

I'm keeping an eye on the scores. I see Giles Simon and Karen Katchenov are through. Katchenov is good, it'll be interesting to see how his career goes.

Come on Stan!

Stupid app! And I corrected my spelling and everything thinking it hadn't posted

I’m always amazed at the empty seats Raahh.

On the us open app there’s a button to press for tickets - I’m always tempted!

Looks like Murray could be going into a first set tie break - he seems to be moving ok from what I’ve seen.

I was surprised at the empty seats too

I'm always amazed at how empty the American tournaments are.

Arghh! Everything crashed!

Murray lost his first set. Edmund looks about to lose, and Stan is swearing at his box. .

Oh, Stan is losing it this set.

Dimitrov has finally woken up, and Stan appears to be injured again.
I prefer his new shirt though, very tango

What's happened to Edmund? I can't face trying to change channels to watch

Kyle has recently been named as the last member of Team Europe at the Laver Cup. He'll have plenty of time to get ready for that if he loses now!

I'm just checking the scores for him, mama (not risking turning over!)He won the first set, lost the next 2, might just avoid a bagel in the 4th (and probably final) set.

Well, Grigor made mincemeat of that racquet!

I've just noticed Stan has the orange version of the horrible shirt on now. Which is probably wise, in the heat.
