He's not moving well at all now Sad
Agreed raahh if he has to lose I'd rather it be to Delpo than anyone else.

MirandaWest · 07/09/2018 23:19

Do they think he’s going to retire after this set?

PrivateParkin · 07/09/2018 23:21

He's retiring

MirandaWest · 07/09/2018 23:21

Oh Sad

PrivateParkin · 07/09/2018 23:22

Sad this is gutting

MirandaWest · 07/09/2018 23:22

Delpo will be in better shape for the final I suppose

Will be a bit odd for Nishikori and Djokovic - they wouldn’t have expected to be playing this soon

PrivateParkin · 07/09/2018 23:24

What a shit way for Delpo to win, and awful for Rafa after everything he's done in this tournament when he's been amazing

I mean Delpo played well, he did as much as he could do... I'm so chuffed he's in the final but what a way to do it.

PrivateParkin · 07/09/2018 23:24

DelPo acting his best sad face Grin

Fizzywinegum · 07/09/2018 23:30

So sad for Rafa Sad. He seemed to be struggling in the bit of the match that I saw.

Gutted for Rafa but really hoping that Delpo will become us open champion now - he is so lovely.

Just read the end of the last thread - the dream about Delpo in the sweater lighting a log fire was hilarious - I can picture it in my mind (worryingly!)

I’ll be off to bed soon - hoping for some crazy tennis dreams (hopefully not involving Djokovic)

Mama1980 · 07/09/2018 23:32

Horrid for everyone, feel so sorry for Rafa and not nice for Delpo to win that either.

Mama1980 · 07/09/2018 23:33

Here's hoping Delpo can win on Sunday now.
Not way will I be able to stay awake for Novak so will say goodnight all.

JaneJeffer · 07/09/2018 23:33

Oh poor Rafa Sad

PrivateParkin · 07/09/2018 23:37

Ooh, Mira Sorvino has a lovely voice.

PrivateParkin · 07/09/2018 23:39

Some great footage in this US Open history film... Great haircuts too.

PrivateParkin · 07/09/2018 23:41

Sweet dreams all. I'm staying up for a bit.

MirandaWest · 07/09/2018 23:47

I’ve been enjoying the history too.

Now Rafa talking Sad

PrivateParkin · 08/09/2018 00:07

So sad to see Miranda. And the journalists all started piling in with retirement questions (retiring altogether from tennis, I mean). He's given them short shrift on that anyway.

PrivateParkin · 08/09/2018 00:40

Djokovic is serving for the first set, 5-3. It looks like it's raining a bit as Keith keeps slipping and is complaining to the umpire...

PrivateParkin · 08/09/2018 00:43

Keith Grin
That should have said Kei - no idea who Keith is!

Djok took the first set, hitting a grand total of 4 winners Hmm

PrivateParkin · 08/09/2018 00:52

Kei(th) is wearing a lovely kit btw. Purple shirt and maroon shorts - like a sort of raspberry/blackberry.

Djok is all over this match though. His style just seems to dominate Nishikori. Maybe it's that they're quite similar??

PrivateParkin · 08/09/2018 00:54

This is really good tennis atm

well, I fell asleep so mixed Rafa retiring.Sad gutted, but now I hope Delpo can win on Sunday.

I hope Rafa's knee isn't serious, and it isn't going to affect the rest of the season.

Sad
