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.

Maybe Mac doesn't like doing the interviews and this is way of getting out of it.

yes, he's gone rogue in the hope of being sacked.

Fizzy I can't believe your willpower at not looking at the scores!! I could never do it!

I check the scores on my phone, even if I wake up in the early hours for a wee..

No willpower me. At all.

I know - I surprised myself! I had no idea of the outcome or score when I started watching although the recording wasn’t very long so that gave me a bit of a clue of how the match had gone although I didn’t know who that had favoured.

Rafa was just amazing - looking forward to the final which I should be able to watch live. Suspect it will be against Djokovic (boo) but Rafa seems pretty fired up.

I don’t have willpower in any other areas of my life (wine, crisps, chocolate, thinking about naked Rafa )

Fizzy I don't have any willpower over food at the moment.

I'm blaming my age/hormones/laying down fat for Brexit

laying down fat for Brexit - this is a great and valid reason Raahh. I did have that Christmas cake after all (although not until about 11am, to be fair).

I hope Pouille (or Pooooo-ey, as Jeff Tarango was calling him ) will go for it against Djok tomorrow. He's got nothing to lose (a bit like Keith in the last round )

Poo-ey. So annoying- especially when the person with them , keeps saying it right .

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas cake. Private
I still have mince pies, but I can't eat those. Mainly because I suspect they are out of date. .

I know! I do like Jeff though - he makes me laugh.

Remember that match at Wimbledon when he got an "audible obscenity" warning for telling the crowd to shut up?! I think he walked off court in the end.

Raahh yes the cake was nice thanks I'm sure the mince pies would be too, but I know what you mean - if in doubt, best not.

I also found some chocolate elves the other day, which I was supposed to give to DS for Christmas, but maybe now I'll eat them myself!!

Seems a bit tame now, really, the stuff Jeff did.

It does. I just watched a clip of it - apparently he never had a warning in his whole career, other than that one match! I remember loving it at the time though!!

Watched the BBC highlights of the Rafa/Tits match earlier.

John Lloyd & Andrew Castle commentating - what a relief, how good they were (never thought I'd say that). They stuck to totally relevant tennis talk all the way through.

Allez Lucas!

PS more of you should use or we might lose it!!

How do you do the tennis ball magi - is it an MN thing or just a normal emoji from your keyboard??

I can't believe this about AC sticking to tennis!! Was it definitely him?!

Goran was a guest on the podcast today. He was fab.

Oh dear God, no! Not AC? I haven't had a chance to see the BBC highlights yet but now...
How do you get the tennis ball magi ?

is a MN emoji.

With spaces it's [ tennis ]

Without spaces it's

AC was wonderful as was JL - not shaggable but pretty damn good!

at kazza - horrified that AC could actually talk sense!! I think this will have to be heard to be believed...

Yay, it worked! Although having an emoji to click on, like the others, would be easier! considering there's a bloody football!

I have no emojis to click on - am a saddo who comes here from a desktop.
