Tennis Thread..The US OPEN final approaches...

[Raahh]

New thread before the Rafa/Delpo thread starts...

I know Private it’s really unsettled me - whatever the reasons I still think Serena’s behaviour was awful and I feel really sorry for Osaka - anyway that’s my last word on the subject.

Vamos Delpo!

Private Djok just needed to lose a few points at Wimbledon . Hardly any. .
It was a great match though. Wrong result but a great match.

Yay! VAMOS

$17K fine for Serena, and rightly so!

Yes Raahh it would be a fitting end to the tournament if Delpo could win - we can hope

It's right that she was fined. Honestly, a coaching code violation is pretty common. And the system of warning-point-game isn't exactly rare either. I don't know why people are making such a fuss. It's so ridiculous to make out it was sexism I've seen plenty of players get point/game penalties for everything that Serena did last night, including (gasp) men!!

Right, that's my last word on it too - and I mean it this time!

Apparently Djokovic and Delpo couldn't practice outdoors today because of the rain, and couldn't practice indoors on Ashe because there was already a practice going on there. So who knows what happened to them!!

Fizzy - don't - it's the hope that's killing me!!

DELPO DELPO DELPO - if I say it enough will he win ? PLEASE - it would be amazing to see his comeback - Please Tennis Gods make it so !

Bea hopefully that's how it works!! So nervous now.

Can't stand Serena Williams. Arrogant, petulant and ill-mannered.

Saw her play at Wimbledon a few years ago, feigning injury.

Over the moon that she lost.

When she lost at the French Open a while ago, she did exactly the same thing and had an immature meltdown.

Grow up Serena!

Mine own Delpo will win!

I am crossing all digits & appealing to any higher being that he will overcome Djok the cock!

Djok the cock

Just getting my wine and lucky twiglets ready...

I have wine but no lucky twiglets!

Magi you are so funny

Serena and her camp have made sure that win or lose, the headlines around this final are all about her - and that's where the big bucks are. She's "pulled focus" as they say, she owns the coverage. She wins.
Go Delpo!

magi

I've just switched on.

It's still all about Serena.

Where is the men's final pre-amble? .

magi

Vamos DelPotro! I'll be keeping an eye on the score.

I think you’re right Flaming - how many times has Osaka been mentioned? And now it’s overshadowing the men’s final - grrr!

Oh now they’re talking about the men - hurray!

Ok, so I turned over to other Amazon coverage.

They have just finished singing.

Maybe listening to JC and his mates go over the Serena match again ,was preferable

Dh has fallen asleep and is snoring.

I am ready to commit murder.

Aww, Juan is lovely.

I do not have Amazon Prime s am listening on radio 5 live. Just having to imagine it all go Delpo go go go

Stick a peg on his nose Raahh. It's too important.
