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

It's like a the best of the best competition!

Yes definitely!

I was just about to post that we'll be getting 3 out of the 4, as Cilic is looking totally dominant in this match, when Nishikori suddenly got 3 break points...

Ooh he's broken.

private I'm not sure about Millman- he might cause and upset, but it is possibly unlikely. I don't think Djok will be affected by the weather this time.

The 4 champions would be cool- at least they are acknowledging Cilic is one. Delpo's win in the US gets mentioned a lot- but Cilic being a champion, not so much.

I'm just about recovered from cursing my tv and amazon this morning
Just tried to watch cilic v kei and yep it's working perfectly, typical.
Both seem to be playing well, it's a lot calmer watching them at least. I want cilic but only half heartedly, I don't warm to kei and find him dull but don't love cilic's tennis either......
Would love to see a upset later but don't think millman will pull it off.

Marin has gone off the boil a bit here.

Come on, now I really want the Four Champions thing!! Like Harry Potter

Harry Potter.

I took dd2 to bed, and what happened?? I really don't want Kei to win.

How many towels do you reckon they go through? Those women were bringing a lot onto court!

John Isner said he went through 11 shirts v Delpo!

I don't know Raahh he just suddenly started making mistakes and Nishikori started playing a bit more solidly. Marin keeps overhitting

Wait... Nishikori could be like Harry Potter himself, you know - his name wasn't meant to be in the goblet but it ended up there??

Well, now Private. You could be onto something. So he could be champion 2018....

But I bloody hope not!

11 shirts!! Oh my goodness.

They've both become rubbish at the same time now

That racquet smash might do Cilic some good...

Cilic is managing to be more rubbish.

Get a grip, Marin!

All level I see.

Ooh, maybe Cilic listened. I could be a tennis guru. Or an interfering Umpire.

Every time I check the score it's level!

Yay
I'm coming out of the closet, I'm cheering for Kei

Majestic

That shot of Marin made him look like the Count from Sesame Street.

But can Kei beat Djokovic?

(Not dismissing MIllman, but ...)

Off for an ice bath now?

Hmm. Probs not. Both Cilic and Nishikori have a poor record against Djok. Although Cilic has beaten Djok this year.

He has, but that was before Djokovic got his mojo back with his Wimbledon win. I agree, I don't think any of them would beat him.

the Count from Sesame Street poor Marin!!

I think New improved Djok might be harder to beat.

They both have to pray for very hot humid weather. And see if Novak is affected.

But it could be Milkman...can't give up on Milkman.
