*been! My excuse is wine Wink

kazzaD66 · 06/08/2019 22:02

I see Milkman has just beaten Deliciano, who is meant to be playing doubles with Andy later!

So envious of those of you you are able to watch the tennis Smile

kazzaD66 · 06/08/2019 22:05

I also see that Barty, Kerber and Venus all lost today (and Shriekapova - yay!)

JaneJeffer · 06/08/2019 22:14

I am also envious kazza Envy**

PrivateIsles · 06/08/2019 23:00

Sad I wish we could all watch, like the good old days of Wimbledon and RG.

PrivateIsles · 06/08/2019 23:01

I keep seeing about 10 mins of an interesting-looking match then having to go off and do something Hmm

So I've hardly watched any of it so far.

PrivateIsles · 06/08/2019 23:06

Goffin is out I see, he lost to Pella. Pella is a bit Struff-like with his results this year - he's having a good season.

Adelie0404 · 07/08/2019 06:27

Way to go Edmund!
Nice news to wake up to!!
Hopefully dick can be forgotten and not talked about now - can but hope.
Shame can’t watch indeed. Saw a bit of Felix yesterday but that’s all.

Adelie0404 · 07/08/2019 06:45

Ooh Rafa’s actually scheduled early evening.
Clearly not “box office” enough then.

But we might be able to watch.

Fizzywinegum · 07/08/2019 07:08

Well done Kyle - I’m sure we will still (Raahh anyway) be talking about Dick Grin

I’ve just seen that Rafa is on at 5 today Adelie - good for me, but not for anyone in our house who might want any tea tonight Smile

I also wish that everyone could watch the same matches - it’s rubbish that it’s on Prime - we’ve only got it because my DS gets a student discount and pays for it.

kazzaD66 · 07/08/2019 07:45

Yes, good news to wake up to. Apparently, Dick was back to his usual self and was complaining that he wasn't given the towels he wanted! Got a code violation for continuous ranting at the umpire Hmm

Still, can't believe Kyle won so easily, given his results lately, but glad he did.

And Murray and Lopez beat the No2 seeds Smile

Yay! Kyle!

I finally got prime to work- and fell asleep, having spent most of the evening sorting out dd2 who isn't well at the moment. Typical.

If Rafa Is on early, I might get to watch it.

An 'I like Dick ' t shirt would certainly be a talking point, I'm glad he reverted to type.

He was probably worn out after his win in DC, bless him Grin

I saw he feinted serving underarm and then didn't. Kyle did laugh though - well, outwardly anyway.

kazzaD66 · 07/08/2019 10:49

On yesterday's performance, I think it's a safe bet that Dick won't be called Nick again for a long long time, even if we wanted to Grin

I wonder if Jamie (doubles expert and former world No1) is inwardly getting slightly pissed off with Andy for continually getting further in the same doubles tournaments than he himself does Hmm

Raahh · 07/08/2019 10:53

Yes, I read about the underarm serve thing.

His opponents have no choice but to pretend to think it all a jolly lark, though do they? Or he'll be slating them for being 'salty,' and the ATP will be adding them to the hit list of humourless people who aren't as entertaining as Super Dick.

He's probably added Canada to the list of things he doesn't like now. Along with clay, Verdasco and Rafa Grin.

The ATP site are still at it- they have put a picture Kyrgios on FB- asking people to caption it. I like the first comment- 'Caption what?You couldn't find Edmund's photo?'

Grin true though!! He didn't win the match! It's so irritating.

Raahh · 07/08/2019 13:15

Really bloody annoying.

I know why they are doing it. Federer isn't playing. If Roger was playing, they would be spamming the pages with pictures of him instead. And now Dick has ruined the party by losing in the first round. He's not playing doubles either this week. Or that would have been an excuse to keep him in the news.

PrivateIsles · 07/08/2019 13:16

Did you see the ATP video of Montreal highlights over the years as well Raahh?

Including Rafa in his piratas, Gasquet passing Djok at the net and Ernests playing a brilliant backhand, also against Djok. All v enjoyable Grin

PrivateIsles · 07/08/2019 13:18

Dick has ruined the party Grin
That really made me laugh.

Ahh, Gulbis.

See, that's the kind of entertainment we can get behind!Grin

OP posts:
PrivateIsles · 07/08/2019 13:23

I've just been looking at the Kyrgios comments - not sure that went the way they planned Grin

PrivateIsles · 07/08/2019 13:24

Raahh yes exactly! It's just a shame sightings of Gulbis are so rare these days - if only he'd win a few more matches!

Raahh · 07/08/2019 13:27

They seem to be misjudging the mood of the fans a bit lately (a bit like the comments on Djok's celebrations Grin).

kazzaD66 · 07/08/2019 15:01

Perhaps we should run the ATP social media for them. They're completely out of touch......unless they have a hidden agenda and know exactly what they're doing HmmGrin
