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.

It happens to us all- I'm a 47 year old woman whose curly hair is not what it once was .

I've just had a scary mental image of 20 years on- and a possibly bald Tsitsipas.

I don't like the image

Bet he never loses his hair though, Stefanos, - not every bloke does- my grandpa did , in his early 20s (blamed the war) but my dad, 71, still has a full head of thick curly hair , that didn't even really go grey for years.

I did also have the thought that maybe Tsitsipas might not have such lustrous locks in 12 years time - I guess it’s the luck of the draw for men (and women - I think I would be completely grey if I didn’t visit my hairdresser on a regular basis)

Poor balding Stefanos!! His dad doesn't seem to be bald though - so hopefully for Tsitsipas Jr, he will take after him!!

Footie was on as I was reading that and looking at Alan Shearer and Iain Wright both completely bald now. Iain looks good Alan not so much!

Alan shearer not so good with or without hair

A friend of mine used to absolutely love Alan Shearer in his playing days

Thanks Fizzy - I'll definitely be in Do Not Disturb mode on Sunday morning!

I have been subjected to the football tonight( whilst discussing dh's tactics for dd1's football match tomorrow- he's the manager) .

I am not grey at all- I have gone straight to white, in patches.

I blame my children .

Totally.

Thanks for DH's birthday wishes, although I can't pass them on as he doesn't know I lurk here
Just watched back BBC highlights of Rafa's match. Fast forwarded through the AC bollocks afterwards but couldn't help but notice his hair - was he the wet look gel vibe circa 1986? I was half expecting him to be wearing legwarmers and roller skates under the desk

Football related - remember David Ginola, and his ''elfy looking 'air'

Not so elfy now.

still would though

*was he going for the wet look gel vibe

AC's hair is an enigma

Stood next to the lovely David Ginola at Heathrow check in about 12 years ago, definitely would

kazza he is very lovely indeed. 'Elfy 'air' or not

remember when David was on Question of Sport and flirting shamelessly with Sue?!

Imagine AC in legwarmers and roller skates!!

I wish legwarmers would make a comeback - I used to love them back in the 80s!! I had some nice snowman patterned ones as I recall

I've seen a couple of people wearing them on Instagram in the last week Private. I had a horrible grey pair I used to wear going to school!

Sue was always a simpering wreck when he was on, understandably so though

I suppose everything comes around again if you wait long enough! The young whippersnappers of insta probably look great, but I wonder if I could get away with it?!

Go for it!

For some reason I now have Fame, I'm gonna live forever in my head...
