Tennis Thread- It's the US OPEN already, we're prepared for late nights, (and Amazon Prime is making us cross already)

[Raahh]

I can't believe it's nearly September, really. I'm sure the Australian open has just finished.

I'm going to spend the morning labelling school uniform . I really am.

I probably won't

Is she making some kind of a point because of the catsuit ban?

Iris that's my problem with it- she's not wearing it because it is comfortable, practical sportswear. She's wearing it to prove a point. They've banned her cat suit, so she has decided to play in her party frock.

x-post Majestic I think so. And it keeps everyone talking about Serena.

Who I actually can't be doing with at the best of times, so it annoys me that I am .

Oh crap- and in the meantime, Isner is 2 sets to 1 up.

Milos is doing better this set.

So it's probably going to a 5th.

I might have to stay up and watch the 5th...

Majestic I promised myself an early night, but I will probably watch the end now!

Only Raonic seems to be fluffing it, so I might not have to...

Phew
He's done it. We almost jinxed him.

I hope he can find a way through.

I am jinxy mcjinx most of the time .

ooh, what's happening now?

Oh - medical time out. I ought to go to bed. Work tomorrow.

I'm getting increasingly worried, that when I have to get dd2 up for school on Tuesday, I will sleep through the alarm .

I should also go to bed as I too have work in the morning (plus DH is getting up at 6 to go to the gym)

Isner has at least changed out of the stripy top

He has- and it seems to have helped his game. Unfortunately.

I think I’m not going to need to stay up much longer

oh shame.

not sure what was up with Raonic, in the I just timeout, if he was affected by that.

or maybe it was the shirts!

Woke up about 3.30 so now watching Delpo...

Yay Delpo! He looked mad for it in his celebration afterwards. Now he has to be interviewed by Brad Gilbert - although to be fair, BG has noted Delpo's cheer squad from Argentina in the crowd (and asked him to say something in Spanish, obviously).

Oh god... he plays Isner next.

You can look sports like and still lose

very glad to see Delpo' s result this morning. He must be feeling very good right now.

I could have watched some because I woke up in a panic over something. But my tv said 'no'

I fear for him against Isner though Raahh. I just think anyone can lose to Isner on any given day, which annoys me. I read/heard somewhere that Isner has one of the lowest rates of breaking serve among any of the players. Yet he ends up in the semi final of Wimbledon, QF of the US Open etc. I mean, fair play to him I suppose but I wish he wouldn't!!

I wonder what the crowd will be like, as Delpo gets lots of support but will be playing a home favourite. Presume it will be yet another night match as well I think Delpo has only had one day match.

Looking forward to Cilic-Goffin today. Haven't seen Goffin play this tournament at all, so no idea how he's playing but should be interesting to watch.

I see Federer is playing Milkman!!

I really like Goffin but it's odd how he never gets much of a mention.

Don't know how you all stay up so late - I am a wreck if I don't get my 7 hours!

I see Nishikori has also sneaked quietly up there.
