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

He's getting a whole roll of duct tape around his leg

Oh here are Petch's and Murray's ideas about time outs and change of endszzzzzz...

Oh sorry just nodded off there for a minute.

I see Loki's there again!

When does this stop being "sweet supportive tennis fan" and become "mate, you remember how the whole Taylor Swift thing ended".

Good question....

Yes Stan - breaks back.

5-all.

I am watching Bake Off, due to DD2 going back to school tomorrow and I said she could watch the beginning.

Come on Stan

Aww that's nice of you Raahh

Is it any good, they all look a bit young from the ads!

Medvedev looks shattered. He's had the trainer on twice (He'll probably win now I've said that.)

Here comes the tiebreak(er)...

A lot of them are very young Spidey .

It's biscuit week, some disasters already

Yes that's what I suspected Raahh - I do usually watch it but I haven't so far this year.

So Jo's out...

Medvedev just won the set - I don't know how he's doing this. He looks absolutely cooked.

Yes TheOnly she was a bit un-Loki

Is he still playing the villain? He certainly likes getting a reaction from the crowd.

un-Loki

Oh dear

Actually she wasn't - Svitolina played really well. Jo tried to change things up a bit but it didn't really work. It wasn't the most exciting match I have to say.

Come on Raahh that's gold that is

He's toned down the villain stuff. Perhaps he has too much on his mind with the injury.

It was very good, Spidey

How long did it take you to come up with that Private

The biscuits looked very sickly Raahh

Jane there was a lot of chocolate. I'm not really a chocolate person. They are making fig rolls now- I like a fig roll.

Me too but not so much that I'm going to bake some!

Jane I feel that about most baking .

Cheaper to buy a packet!

Just seen the scores- for someone who must be exhausted, he's not giving up Medvedev.

Come on Stan

Fig Newton - the only American biscuit worth eating.

The score line is very strange - Medvedev looks as if he is dead on his feet but still managing to be winning. Stan seems strangely flat - no Stanzilla! The crowd seem pretty disinterested as well.

Enjoying the Bake Off crossover - I’ll be watching at a later date so no spoilers please. I’m not a fan of fig rolls so definitely wouldn’t make my own

Stanzilla is turning it around a bit in this set but yes it's a bit of a weird atmosphere. Maybe they're disappointed there's nothing to boo?!
