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 can't believe all the Lendl love on here either, although I think I prefer him these days now he no longer looks like a skull and has displayed a hitherto unknown dry sense of humour! I still remember Andy smashing a ball across the net straight into Ivan at Queens a few years back - was it a charity doubles for Elena Baltacha?

I do have a headache this morning but I'm blaming it on what I think is a stye which has come up on my right eye and is really irritating my eyeball. It wasn't helped by nearly 2 hours in town doing the weekly shop, which I forgot would be impacted by everyone going crazy ahead of the Easter weekend - bloody murder!!

I'm not worried....yet.... but Rafa just got broken so they are back on serve.
(I only just got my amazon prime to work today)

I was forced to go out!! I was looking forward to this match as well!

Oh that's annoying private
The match was pretty good once Rafa got over his wobbly moment. The rest was easy thank goodness.
Thiem was a set down but is roaring back in the second. That's also been a good match.

I have crashed today. I have spent most of the afternoon dozing off and the girls have really good about it. I'm just worn out. So I missed all the tennis- .
Sad for Stefanos, but the other results were fairly predictable.
It has dawned on me I might not get to see the final, not that I've been a le to log on to much- I'm going to my mother's for lunch on Easter Sunday. Not sure what time the final is.

My gran goes mad if people are sat with phones out.

Just got back from town - you were right about the pre-Easter shoppers kazza - arghh!! Everywhere was packed, but we had to go as I'd left it to the last minute to buy a birthday present (as usual).

Raahh it sounds like you needed the crash out. Hope you're ok.

I'm just watching Zverev v Foggy. This has the makings of a good match as well. Loads of support for Foggy.

Just looked at the scores and see that Thiem lost, as did Norrie.

That's quite an upset for thiem to go out, isn't it?

Foggy won the first set on a tie break - he's looking mad for it at the mo but all the games are really close...

Wow - our Fabio is on fire here

I don't know where that random "our" came from - it makes him sound like a Blind Date contestant!

"Now let's see how our Fabio and our Clurr got on in romantic Monte Carlo!"

That is a huge upset for Thiem, Goffin lost too and Sascha looks like he's in real danger here.
What's going on??!

Our Fabio

Well done to our Fabio!

"Our Fabio and our Clurr" private

A few upsets today with Thiem, sascha and Stefanos going out - maybe it’s the shock of a different surface.

Well done our Fabio - I think he would be quite good fun on blind date!

Looking forward to watching some tennis tomorrow - not planning on doing much else.

Wow! I thought those three would do better.

Me too Jane - the quarter final line up is not what I was expecting.

I think he would be quite good fun on blind date!
definitely!

Of the players I've seen this week, I'd say Foggy is the only one who looked like he could challenge Rafa. But obviously that depends on him playing like that consistently... which he might not!

The quarter finals are definitely not what I expected either!

I can't believe some of the losses really, Tsitsipas, Thiem and Zverev were my 'if Rafa doesn't won it then...' list, in that order for pretty much the next few weeks

I've started new thread, butvi can't do links on my phone ,well I probably could figure it out, but my head is mush.

It has tennis and clay in the title...

I know, especially Thiem! I would really have expected him to do well in MC. Zverev and Tsitsipas are a bit less predictable aren't they - btw I can't believe Tsitsipas has never beaten Medvedev! I wonder how they'll do for the rest of the clay season?

And I'm going to be the last post!
