Tennis thread: to Winston Salem - and beyond! All your build-up to the US Open here...

[PrivateIsles]

Cincinnati finals tomorrow... Meanwhile Andy Murray travels to Winston Salem (by car ) today...

Welcome one and all

Oh dear Sascha

You know I didn’t mean it Spidey but they are a bit like an American Smashy and Nicey

I see they're all level. Come on Sascha. Stop arsing around with racquets and win the match!!

Fizzy they totally are. I've had to mute them.

Spidey are you private?

Am feeling totally muddled!!

(And that's sans Amazon!)

Yes magi Spidey is Private were your Spidey senses tingling? (I was also confused at first )

Phew ! Simona is through.

Private is playing at being secret squirrel- Player at large Fed and his BFF Rafa might need back up.

magi yes I'm the poster formerly known as Private I wasn't going to permanently name change but MN keeps defaulting me to this user name so I'm going to keep it - for a bit anyway. Sorry for the confusion.

Not looking good for Thiem at the moment.

What is happening over there!

Sasha was v upset about the wrong shoes 😆 just then . This match is entertaining I must say .
Was also watching Murray on my phone on a live feed from Twitter - he is winning .

It's definitely entertaining and the crowd are so into it! I still want Sascha to win though.

I’ve just seen Tsonga’s new hair - he looks like the “old” picture from the ATP website - not a good look.

Zverev looks like a rather fetching mint choc ice in his outfit.

Not looking too good for Thiem or Edmund.

BTW I was joking about Andrew Castle - was amusing to hear Tim Henman with an over enthusiastic US commentator last night l

No idea which way this match will go .

Did Edmund lose ?

Edmund has lost .Morgan - can’t imagine Henman with the over enthusiastic American commentators!

And Dom is out .

Yes, Edmund lost.

What’s going on with Thiem - he was the number 4 seed?

Fizzy I think so.

Very different to last year when he came close to beating Rafa.

At least Sascha is through- that must be a relief. He has a lot of dogs to feed.

Phew at least Zverev is through - was a tough match though.

Just catching up on the losses scores

Not great, especially as I do appear to have jinxed Tsonga, as predicted. Sorry
Why can't I jinx Cock or Rog? (does really have a beard)

Looks as though Sascha has pulled it out the bag, though.

Can't get used to not calling you private private

He’s now going to spend his rest day in bed - what about his dogs and all of his chores?? He did say he would spend 12 minutes practising though

It was a tough match for him . Moved onto Gauff.
Not really done the Amazon thing before for the tennis - plenty of choice - can’t reaally stay up all night 😆
Henman didn’t know where to put himself 😃

Fizzy you know you shouldn't even joke about AC like that.
It's nearly bedtime and I need to stay calm and zen like to get to sleep

12 minutes is very precise .

kazza I saw a picture of Roger’s beard and it just looked like 5 o clock shadow to me!
