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

[JaneJeffer]

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

That's a great result for him! Looking forward to watching on catch up later (presume it's available...)

Stat alert Apparently there've been 19 ATP tournaments this year, and 19 different winners, and 13 WTA tournaments with 13 different winners . Quite a turn up.

Wish I could have seen the women's final, it sounds like it was a great match.

Private that is some statistic- and maybe a sign that finally (after a lot of false starts , there really is a changing of guard coming (not that I want to think about Rafa retiring just yet!).

Was the women's final not on Amazon?

Is it right that you can not record Amazon?

Was thinking of getting it but am now wondering.

Well done, Dom

I'm not sure if it's just the ATP tour that is being shown on Amazon.
I think WTA stuff is mainly shown by BT Sports.
Later in the year, Eurosport are showing the women at Eastbourne/Birmingham/Nottingham.

It's all over the place. Literally

it really is.

magi no I don't think you can record Amazon which is one of the problems with it. And the replays have been hard to find. Each time you have to go in and search for it (even if it was the last thing you watched just 5 mins ago or is that just me )

It's all v annoying. I almost wish for Sue swapping channels all the time, that seems quite user friendly compared to Amazon!!

Ahh, Sue, voice of Doom.

Yes, she is looking like the least worst option compared to everything else.

I know!! I'll never complain about Sue's announcements again I will

Crikey, just had a bit of a shock! Scrolling through the Miami qualifiers scores..... (a) Tsonga is having to play them, (b) he's only the 22nd seed and (c) it's because he's 118 in the ATP rankings!!! I know I'm a bit out of touch and not just when it comes to tennis but I hadn't realised he'd fallen that far down the rankings. Poor Jo Wilfred Perhaps Stan could send him a to cheer him up

kazza whenever I see qualifying draws I'm always in shock at how many good/well known players are in there. Eg Gulbis is a regular contender! There was a recent tournament where Lopez played someone equally well known in qualies - can't remember where that was now.

Anyway yes they're all in need of bears especially JWT as he's had such a catalogue of injuries lately.

Good news for Stan himself though as he's seeded for Miami. Although he will play Fed again if they both win their second round matches

Yay! JW won!
Poor Stan, he can't seem to escape Rog

Stay needs to bring some more bears out, sharpish

I'm just watching the replay of yesterday's final, and a woman in the crowd has a "Roger 101" sign, with a 101 Dalmatians style/pattern. It's good, and she'll be able to recycle it for Miami!

Stay
Stan, I meant.

Just looking at the miami qualies. JW has to win one more match to get into the main draw. Dan Evans is also in the same boat kazza!

Yes private and Jay Clarke won aswell. Not so good on the ladies side though

Guess where I ended up overnight?

Back in hospital with a kidney infection and stones.
I'm cursed.

And this stay won't even have the benefit of cursing Djok!

Oh no Raahh!! That's no good at all. Hope you will be out of there ASAP.

It's looking hopeful I will be out soonish. Lots of concerned faces (again) over the meds I take for migraines being the main cause. I will probably have to re think things ( although they work, which is a bugger).

Oh no! Hope you are feeling better soon raahh

Get well soon Raahh

Raahh - What a bugger! Hope they can sort you out asap. & how about a

Thank you!
One Stan's sinister s would cheer this place up no end!

Hope this photo of AC cheers you up Raahh especially the caption

private and "former British No 1" surely?
1986 - wasn't that the year the top 200 players boycotted Queens or am I just making that up ? One word, begins with T, ends in R and has two S's in the middle

Private that is brilliant.

Although I'm surprised he got that far. .Did he get a bye in first round??!
Bless him.

kazza I like your theory. One of his opponents probably retired...

Tennisstar - got it kazza

Get well soon Raahh
