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

What the hell was that?! Novak is all over this now.

Yes love it!!

The singing is getting on my nerves.

Djok has come back to life , I see.

Omg
Foggy

Pmsl!

I liked his RG outfit, but that one is very good!

Well, he got himself out of that one.

Bet his team will be requesting later matches, if the weather stays hot (like Roger did in Australia).

Yeah Fucsovics (sp?!) went off the boil at just the right time for Djok to get that third set.

The ice bath comment omg

Now what shall I watch next??!

Did I see that Foggy has just gone 2 sets to 1 up?

I don't want to watch Federer, (but that won't be on for a while anyway)but am too scared to try to navigate my way around the stupid thing to find something else.

I'm watching Fognini (as Zverev's match looks all but over). He is indeed 2 sets to 1 up.

I have just been informed that if Zverev wins he will play 'someone from France'

They are great , these commentators.

(They didn't say if the someone was a player, or just a random anybody. I stopped listening. . I think it's probably the Mahut match they are talking about, but they could at least learn the names!).

Marking my place on the thread & will be lurking a bit and popping in & out as usual. Hello to you all

I've access to Amazon Prime through DS2's account. DS3 says he'll show me how to connect my laptop to the TV so I can watch on a bigger screen, apparently we have a HDMI cable or something, who knew? but I'm not sure I can be bothered tbh.

Loving Foggy’s outfit

Was out earlier so didn’t see the Djokovic match - I also think it’s unfair that the men don’t have hot weather rules. Most men’s matches last longer than women’s matches.

The screen that’s going to be showing the Federer match is just showing an empty stadium at the minute.

Where’s the inane chat from the likes of Greg and Annabel? I need to know more about their holiday together and Greg’s choice of swimwear!

Yes we never got to the bottom of that holiday situation did we?!

Foggy looks like he should be in a 4th of July parade or something!

Hi Drama you're probably wise to give Amazon a swerve. I tried watching on tv earlier and the picture was rubbish, sort of jerky and out of focus. I'm watching on the iPad again now which is not ideal but I just couldn't watch on tv, it was headache-inducing!!

Foggy’s gone through - they both look exhausted. I’ve not seen Mmoh before - I liked his hair.

I’ve been watching on the tv and have to say the picture quality isn’t great - the screen also kept going blank and the commentators kept apologising.

I know it’s new and it means that non sky viewers can now watch the tournament but I’m still not very impressed with the whole thing.

Fizzy Foggy's outfit was hurting my eyes!

I want to watch the Mahut match but I can't find it - apparently he has served for it a couple of times and both players are cramping - I think Moutet is only 19 or something so v tough conditions for him - well, for all of them.

Haha Foggy's outfit

Someone from France is going to play Zverev, eh? Such insightful commentary puts Andrew Castle to shame.

hahaha love it!!

Jane is Moutet the one who can also play the piano or something?!

Oh that's right Private, he of the lovely hands!

Hmmm now I really want to see that match!

I see Djokovic is back-tracking on the ice bath remarks. He's now clarifying they were in adjacent ice baths, not the same one

Looks like Mahut came through in his match.

I think I missed the Djokovic ice bath scandal

The line up tonight looks good with Murray, Delpo and Rafa in action - not sure how much I’ll get to see.

Looks as if there were quite a few retirements - can’t be good for the tournament.

Ooh who's Novak sharing his bath with?
