Tennis Thread: Australian Open 2019 & onwards..........

[magimedi]

Hope it's OK for me to start a new thread - could not believe we'd burned out on the last one.

Am looking forward to seeing highlights of the Fed/Tits match later.

Yes!

Some great shots!

Wow some amazing tennis there - come on Tsitsipas!

I’m still in bed. DH has taken DS2 to footy - I can’t still be in bed when they get back but don’t want to move.

Loving the net points in this.

I'm getting very excited now, and nearly burnt a shirt.

RIP Raahh's ironing

Yass!

Oooohhhh...

I have to go and do some grocery shopping. Don't want to move.

Hurrah!

Brilliant!

I am so impressed. He is not letting the fact -as usual- most of the arena is backing Federer get to him.

He is playing him at his own game.

He is not getting intimidated at all.

If Stefanos wins. will be interesting if they still talk to Fed though. They have only spoken to the loser once - and that was Andy- understandably.

I was wondering that as well Raahh although I would be quite interested to hear what roger has to say.

I’ve also been really impressed with Tsitsipas- he seems totally unphased - can’t believe he’s so young.

The tennis has been amazing quality for a long match. Hoping that Tsitsipas can finish it off (really need to get up!)

This is great. Really enjoying it. Down with shopping, ironing and getting dressed!!

No challenges remaining for Stefanos eh?! That makes me nervous.

That is early in the set to have no challenges left Private - I’m really enjoying the match - it’s not very often that I get to watch a good quality match all the way through - I don’t need to go anywhere so just going to enjoy it.

Oh no not the trainer - is Tsitsipas injured?

Hard to tell Fizzy - maybe just cramp?

Come on Stefanos I've got shopping to do!

It's just like talking to my own 20 year old

Morning all! (ok, nearly afternoon and I'm another still in my pyjamas, but I have been busy cooking and preparing a crumble for lunch, so...)
Just catching up and really wish I could be watching this match .I'll have to wait for the BBC highlights. Come on Tits

Right- Here we go, Stefanos!

How do we say 'Come On' in Greek?

Not another bloody tiebreak

Btw, I see Sloane Stephens has got to wait until the end of this match before she can get on court! You'd have thought after the Konta debacle the other day, they'd have moved her match to another court by now - although I don't suppose there'd be many spectators at this time of night, if the only other match on is Fed/Tits. No one will move from that, will they

I'm getting 'Rafa match' nerves, and feel the need to go and sit on the stairs.

Mirka looks like she wants to join you on the stairs Raahh
