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

[PrivateSpidey]

Welcome one and all!

And anyway- why isn't it a bear??

A bit late, I know, but that photo is hardly recognisable as Medvedev. It's the hair. It's not hanging limply down and plastered to his head
He looks less Shaggy-like

I discovered , the other day , whilst googling, that Shaggy's real first name is Norville.

So now you know. Should it ever come up in conversation. Or on Pointless.

Yes and Scooby's full name is Scoobert.

I don't know which is worse and what the hell were you googling?

Scoobert

Yes Raahh so you just so happened to come across this info?

I was trying to remember the name of the van thing they drive around in. which is the Mystery Machine, it turns out.

I can't remember why I wanted to know

Scoobert

At first I thought you meant Shapovalov’s real first name was Norville

All those years of watching ScoobyDoo and I was oblivious!

Not entirely convinced by Medvedev’s lime green polo neck!

I don’t wear polo necks anymore because someone once said I looked like Velma (continuing the Scooby Doo theme) - I think it’s the glasses

Aahhh Velma was my favourite!

Scoobert

I do love the randomness of this thread

Norville Shapovalov

Spooky

I think they've over-aged the gang a bit there!

Morning all

Hope everyone is surviving without much tennis atm .

I've just been looking at the pictures from Lucas Pouille's wedding - possibly the most stylish wedding ever. Tsonga, Goffin and PHH were there rocking blue suits and white trainers and looking amazing.

There's also a video of a dance off between Goffin, Monfils and Pouille - obviously Goffin was the clear winner, we already know he has the moves .

The Laver Cup starts soon doesn't it - is Rafa definitely playing?....

Thanks for the heads up private
Just found some of the videos posted.
Were they wearing trainers in case they fancied a quick game mid-ceremony?! It looked as if there could be a court lurking in the grounds

Don't think I could be a bridesmaid. I'm probably about 3 1/2 stones too heavy
The new Mrs Pouille is certainly very slim.

As for the "dancing"

Those videos are very funny

Lots of weddings at the moment.

Not seen anything about whether or not Rafa is still playing at the Laver Cup. And it's St Petersburg this week- which Stan was supposed to be playing in (that was his reason for saying he couldn't play in the Laver cup), but he's withdrawn.

That's a real Tomas is pointing at. Stan needs to up his game.

i enjoyed Grigor's latest workout

Maybe he's on a hunt with Stan- he's pulled out of St Petersburg as well!

Very suspicious.

I saw that picture of Tomas on IG and thought he was just gesturing towards that rock or whatever it is - didn't notice the obvious

The Pouille wedding looks fab but yes kazza the BM dresses are very slinky. Maybe 20 years ago I could have pulled it off (probably not tbh) but now I'll just have to admire from afar!!

That's interesting about Stan dropping out of these tournaments - do you think he's going to replace Rafa in Geneva? I don't get the Laver Cup. It has ranking points but it's also by invitation? Is that right?

Anyway. Off to find Grigor's workout post - research purposes only of course.

Fizzy I can't believe you let his Lordship out in this when it's not Paddy's day for another six months!
