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

I have to go and pick up dd1 from football in a bit. I've a feeling this may go on a bit.

I want a Rafa/Delpo semi final.

Mama I home ed too. [secret handshake]

I'm not really in the mood for tennis at the moment so it's a good thing it's not Wimbledon.

Catch you later Raahh I daresay it'll still be going on!!

Can't watch. How's it going? Is Isner wearing the green stripy number (shallow)

Carlos Ramos is looking very pristine.

I like Carlos Ramos Private - he seems very calm.

Yes Isner is wearing the stripy green top - Delpo is looking very orange.

I’m a bit bored of this match tbh although I do like Delpo.

Will probably watch bake off in a bit and just keep an eye on the scores.

I would also like to see a Rafa/Delpo semi but it would probably be a night match anyway.

Tiebreak time.

grouchy
Isner is in his green stripes.
This match is dull though sorry delpo. The crowd seem pretty quiet too.

Tiebreak

Poop

Every Isner match is dull. DelPo or not.

I'm going to be so annoyed if Isner wins this. DelPo is playing really well, and he would give us a great SF v Rafa or Thiem, whereas Isner, whoever he plays, will give us a match of massive serves down the T and half volleys and that's it not to mention the towel chewing

It's going to happen too, and I'm going to be so mad!!!

Shorts controversy!! DelPo wants to change his shorts but isn't allowed. I'm sorry but it's ridiculous in this heat that they can't change their clothes!! It's like Cornet except with shorts

Just got back- will watch 10 minutes of this whilst dd1 has a shower.

I'm not happy Isner has a set.

Vamos! Juan!!

Yes get in!! He must have been fired up by Shorts-Gate

The lack of common sense is astonishing at the moment, being such sticklers for the rules is just causing ill feeling. Isner is drenched too I'm sure he'd welcome 5 minutes whilst Delpo changes. It's pathetic.

Oh, a plug for the US open shop

Yup- shorts-gate has got him mad. He wants to prove a point. (I suppose the quicker this set is over , the quicker he might be able to leave for a comfort break).

Did they mention "outerwear" Raahh?! Perhaps they sell shorts

Can Delpo not do a Mr. Bean with his towel? I'm watching the Bake Off.

Kudos to all you home schoolers. I find it hard enough getting them out to school, never mind teaching them.

Jane he did offer to change them courtside (sure Delpo, why not, go for it ) but it wasn't allowed.

I'm sure I've seen someone dong it before. He should have just whipped them off

Maybe Delpo should have done a bit of shopping.

Ok, off to Bake Off.

He should have just whipped them off
My thoughts exactly

I just realise I typed "dong" instead of doing, oops Freudian slip
