Tennis Thread: Countdown to the Return of Delpo at a Very Specific Time

[JaneJeffer]

New thread for February. Happy St. Brigid's Day everyone

Hurrah!

Fabulous thread title Jane

Thanks Jane - I love the thread title of course!!

Happy St Bridgid's Day to you too - here's to the start of spring

Well done, Jane. Huge hooray that January is over.

I'm huddling next to the radiator to type this. It's freezing!

Anyway. David Ferrer has been given a wildcard for Madrid, I have just been reading, so that will be his last tournament. Aww. I hope he gets a good send off.

Private I hope David can do well there.

Be a bit warmer in Madrid.

Stan has offered to send another teddy to Andy to stop his children fighting over the other one

V sweet of Stan. Although that bear does actually look a bit sinister tbh - like it's crept up from behind to attack him

Attack of the Giant Teddy Bears

stan

Very sweet.

Is anyone else watching the rugby? The England players' tracksuit tops are awful and remind me of this

No, not into rugby at all.

Stan does not look sweet - he looks demonic.

Yes there's a bit of swearing going on beside me! Didn't see the tracksuits.

Every time they mention Tuilagi I think of toodle langa langa from the Dexy's song!

Jane that's the second ear worm you've passed on to me today (also "Attack!! Of the Giant Teddy Bears Killer TomAYtoes!!!")

Tbf I haven't actually watched much of the game since the anthems - am just messing about on MN while DH watches the game.

Lol at "demonic" Stan

Sorry for the ear worms Private. I fell asleep in the middle of the rugby. I understand England won

I see Kiki Bertens won in St. Petersburg.

Wouldn't mind a nap now actually but I have to feed these pesky children.

Good luck Jane. I feel like I've spent all day cooking - I made waffles for breakfast (I got waffle plates for Christmas ) and I always think if you start with cooking in the morning, it just feels like it goes on all bloody day Argh!!

I see Stan is due to be playing in the Sofia Open unless he's the latest victim of a Giant Teddy Bear attack. I think Verdasco is playing there too, and I presume Grigor as well.

I've just been reading about hundreds of people attending a Delpo training session, where it was free to get in as long as you made a donation to a food bank scheme. There were loads of people there (all counting down to 8pm on 19 Feb, no doubt!!).

I hope Delpo hasn't worn himself out training all those people. Nice idea.

I totally misread that! Is it too late for a nap?

I had a look at the 5 week schedule- and the one I usually check hasn't actually got Delpo down for Delray beach !
(I'm ignoring it)

It is showing that Fed is going to play Dubai now- which wasn't showing before (where he hasn't done that well the last few years).

For magi

Nice!

He does always look like he needs an iron, bless.

It's all part of his demonic charm

It's all those scruffy bears he's making .

It's a nice relaxing hobby between tournaments
