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.

Good start for Medvedev

oh, he's broken back,

The dog will have to wait a bit for his walk...

Oh rubbish.

But Keith is level now!

Just been enjoying reading all your posts!! Ugh I am not a fan of Medvedev as I've said before (about a million times) so come on Novak!! Although an upset would also be interesting...

Also - how much tennis does Keith want to play?!

Just catching up - was surprised at the Zverev/raonic scoreline - I’ve not seen Zverev play so don’t really know if he was rubbish or if Raonic was amazing.

Kei and RBA look to be going into a fifth set - it’s on Eurosport 2 now. I’m going to watch that instead if Djokovic.

The least said about Serena the better for me - I’ve never really been a fan but her antics last year really took the biscuit. I can’t believe that the commentators fawn over her and make it all about her.

I’m fed up because I’ve got to work tomorrow (Tuesday is usually my day off) and Rafa is playing at around 9am . I’m not sure whether to record it and try and avoid the score and watch it when I get home - not sure if I’ll be able to resist checking the score though.

Sorry kei is playing carreno busta - I always get confused with my bustas!

Fizzy I do too

Keith is looking fresh as a daisy, to be fair.

Unlike Medvedev, who looks positively knackered.

Carreno busta looks like Robbie from eastenders - I’ll stop rambling now!

Fizzy he does

Carreno busta has just broken back - 5 all in fifth set

Just changed over to watch the tie-break in Robbie V Keith

The new tiebreak rules are also confusing me! I thought they would have one at 8 all but think that’s just the women?

I’m rooting for Robbie

Robbie is making sheep noises!

I’m not surprised after being on court so long

He actually looks a bit like a sheep

He does a little bit - I need to go out soon

I took the dog for a quick walk, thinking all was lost for Medvedev.

And he's pulled it back in this set.

Then my phone died, and it's all gone pear shaped for Keith in the 5th, and I forgot about the different tie break.

And now there is an argument.

Late call controversy!

Oh dear - not a good time for this - hope he can calm down and focus

ooh- this is tense!

oh my!

Great shot Keith

Wow! I do feel for CB.
