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

[JaneJeffer]

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

I missed the end as I had to take dd1 to pick up some glasses and the opticians didn't have wifi so I couldn't check the score, which was annoying.

I'm sure there have been t-shirts printed , Private.

Kazza that gold monogrammed ensemble confirmed all I ever needed to know about Federer, really .

I'd be disappointed if he didn't kazza

I turned off straight after match point - quite a boring match tbh, not the classic it was cracked up to be!

I don't know if it's a Swiss thing Raahh I've said it before, they are a strange nation - look at all some of Stan's outfits....and don't even mention the bear fetish

Well done Roger I suppose.

Jane

Maybe Stan will send him a bear?

(i'm waiting for all the bears to rise up , like a horror film, and murder the owners in their beds).

It's Stan's plan for world domination.

Raahh have you been watching Tales of the Unexpected again?

Jane ...might have ...

I actually watched one today. Cyril Cusack was in it.

Well done Roger I suppose
that's about as much as can be said for it! I hate stupid "milestone" things like this - why is 100 such a big deal? Just because it's a round number? It's just irritating. And now everyone (by which I mean commentators, journos etc) is getting all worked up about it! They should just let him parade his trophy and move on!! Argh!

I hope none of us have bear-related nightmares!! (Shudder)

I saw a photo of Roger with the trophy and he didn't look well. Maybe he's pushing himself too hard.

Hmm, interesting. He said he didn't care about getting to 100 titles but maybe he secretly did?

ATP players congratulate Fed
I wonder how long they've had this made for?! Some of them are really good - I think Guga is my favourite

Private .

Bet they've been waiting to show it for ages.

I am waiting for the bears to rise up & murder Stan!

magi

Aww but look at him

Poor Stan - what has he done to deserve this?!

As I'm awake in the fecking middle of the night again, I'm watching the Acapulco final. Kyrgios won the first set and Zverev has a break in the second... But it's deuce now on Sascha's serve....

PS quiz on all players to ever have beaten Federer in a final - which is a nice reminder that he has actually lost some of them

I only got 12/20, couldn't remember anything whatsoever from before 2005 apart from a certain former British No1 (clue: not AC )

Kyrgios is still hitting tweeners etc!

About to serve for the match...

Well that didn't use up much of my insomniac hours... Kyrgios won 6-3 6-4

He did the annoying finger to lips "celebration". But at least he wasn't wearing the holey tights for the occasion

Omg - just realised he has to don the sombrero!!

Lovely speech by Sascha

private, liked the quiz. Was proud of myself for remembering the first 1( but there aren't that many Swiss players to be fair.)

about Sascha, results this weekend aren't going the way I wanted!
