I hope they're not into tennis or it will be very confusing on here Grin

Argh that's so annoying Raahh! And also a bit weird - hopefully just a coincidence.

Just watching Delpo and Djok warming up. The commentators (probably that clueless Val again Grin) have written Delpo off before the match has even started Hmm

I hope he proves them wrong.

Hope you're having a nice birthday Fizzy!

I truly hate those "serve placement" graphics. I literally don't care. Go away Angry

JaneJeffer · 17/05/2019 21:09

I hope that Val isn't at RG Grin

Delpo is saying something to the ump but they were speaking in Spanish (Carlos Bernardes - he seems to have umpired every match I've seen this wk) so I don't know what it was about. The surface maybe...

I'm sure Val will let us know Grin

Is the surface still slippery?
Maybe his chair is broken. It might be the one Nick threw.

Djok looks mad. I think it is the surface that they're on about.

Ooh Delpo just broke serve!! Hammered a couple of FHs in that last rally. Vamos Delpo!

Set to Delpo- yay!

Yes Delpo! A bit nerve wracking serving for the set & Djok had a couple of break points - but he held on. Delpo's really fired up.

Fizzywinegum · 17/05/2019 22:29

Just got back from a nice meal out and seen that tennis is still on - I’m allowed to watch it cos it’s my birthday Smile

Come on Delpo!

PrivateIsles · 17/05/2019 22:40

Quite right too Fizzy!

I just turned my back for 5 mins and Djok has the break in set 2 - typical. I wonder if Delpo is going to start running out of gas - lack of matches starting to catch up with him??

PrivateIsles · 17/05/2019 22:45

Delpo's shots have gone all wild Shock - he's hit it into the stands twice in the last few points. There've been some bad bounces - the court looks all churned up.

PrivateIsles · 17/05/2019 22:51

Delpo had the trainer on. But now he's gone again without doing anything Confused

Perhaps JMDP just fancied a chat?!
