Tennis thread: towards the end of the season, lots of tennis still to be played!

[PrivateParkin]

Hi all, I wasn't sure if Raahh was around so I thought I would start a new thread (thanks ferrier) in case of any urgent tennis news that we might need to start posting about immediately! I'm looking forward to Shanghai this week

Have they always called AC 'Andy' - I'm sure he's usually Andrew.

Ooh have fun Bea! You're like a roving reporter for the thread!

Oh, I forgot you were there, Bea hope you are having a good time!

AC is too busy wittering about Kevin's dog to notice that there is actual tennis going on.

ooh, shot.

Ah I’ve missed Andrew castle - one game in and he’s already talking about dog passports . Tim had to get a bit stern with him telling him to watch the tennis!

Have a great time Bea - did Zverev have any explanation about his no sock look?

AC is rambling on about Tim’s favourite tea now - raspberry and echinacea?! Tim is ignoring him (quite right too!)

Fizzy it was funny, wasn't it

He's like a big kid, so easily distractracted .

Look- beard!

Yes he is Raahh - he makes me laugh!

Now we have ways to get around London. This is proper entertainment

Raahh Sue often calls him Andy

oh, my. I have just got to school. And logged in to see Keith is in trouble.

That's a shame. I'm not a fan, but I hoped it would be a good match for the spectators.

It is Little and Large though.

What’s going on with Keith? So different from when he played Roger. Could be a double bagel (hope not)

jane does AC have a favourite way to travel the Capital, then?

Oh I missed the London modes of transport chat - I can imaginine how it went though

Kevin is serving and playing really well - feel sorry for Kei.

He likes the tube (Jubilee Line to get there) but he's never been on a river boat - very important tennis information

Poor Keith.

Looking at the stats though, it wasn't just all big serves, Kevin served relatively few aces ( when you think of big servers like Isner or Kyrgios for example).

Am missing all of this! Pesky work. I need to hear AC's views on... well, everything!!

I missed most of it today. Hopefully I can watch Sascha and Djok tomorrow.

You didn't miss much, Private. Total whitewash by Kevin.

Just got home, so haven't seen any tennis this afternoon.
Raahh I call A Castle many things, but not AC or Andy

But- does AC wear socks when traveling by tube? We need to know that.

what happened to Keith?!

Yikes what a scoreline!! Unless injured or ill etc... that is very odd.

Kevin played amazingly - not just big serves - some superb play & moving on the baseline.

It was as if Nishikori wasn't there - I was wondering if he'd had some really bad news prior to the match?

Interesting magi. I wonder.

I read that Kevin is donating a certain amount of money per ace to the California wildfire relief fund. I daresay AC/Andy would be interested in that random info (to save him talking about tennis!...).
