Tennis Thread: US Open final weekend, and all your autumnal tennis chat this way!

[PrivateSpidey]

Welcome one and all!

Rafa is amazing! People who don’t realise that are ignorant - after all that he has achieved. I am so glad he is home - well you would be wouldn’t you. Must have charted a jet to get back so quickly - can’t blame him really.
And yes getting loads done now no tennis. Miss it though. DD watched highlights only so didn’t get full experience. I’m not sure I want to watch it again actually.

Yes kazza what else could it mean?

can you imagine being a celeb and innocently minding your own business in a high rise building, when someone pops up at the window to get a photo?!

If that's what happened that is - no explanation offered as far as I can see

Adelie I think Rafa was sitting on his balcony before I'd even taken DS to school yesterday morning!!

I guess those private planes are just ready when you are...

I couldn't believe how quickly Rafa got home. Does he have his own private Concorde?

Perhaps he goes by jet pack?!

Jet pack

I see Jo-Willy won a challenger in France - I guess it must have been at the weekend but I've just seen a photo of him with the trophy.

He's still rocking the peroxide hair.

Kim Clijsters is making another comeback!! Love her, one of my all time faves. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out!

Excellent!

She's a mother Spidey

(Who managed to win 3 slams after giving birth, iirc, without banging on about it).

(It's funny that shes still younger than Serena, isn't it?)

Yes so she is! Are there any other mothers on the women's tour, I don't remember if any commentators have mentioned any??!

I'm not sure how old Kim is but she must be Serena's age mustn't she - or maybe a bit younger.

Anyway it's good news.

Also Simona is reuniting with former coach Darren Cahill which is also good - he coached her when she won RG didn't he? She posted a cute video about him coming back.

Women's tennis is looking pretty good at the mo.

Oh x-post on her age! I thought she could be a bit younger.

On the back of the Clijsters news, the Tennis Podcast tweeted asking who should come out of retirement next - someone commented Sascha Zverev

Oh, poor Sascha!!
That's mean . Funny. But mean.

Maybe he should take up dog walking.

or a laundry business.

I don't like people being mean to my Sascha

Kevin Anderson seems to be having a hard time recovering from injury.

Absolutely love this. He reminds me of Errol Flynn here

It's like a poster for a Doris Day film

Totally!

Who's going to say it?

Horse pictured with the GOAT?

Private you must be terrible at crosswords

Jane you'll have to give me a clue

A horse walked into a bar...

I'll bite...

Why the long face?
