Mr Fizzy (or should I say Lord Fizzy?!) looks like a law unto himself!

Grin only just seen this - His Lordship must have escaped from Downton Abbey without seeking approval from Lady Fizzy Grin. That is a very bold colour!

I’m going to see the Downton film on Friday - can’t wait!

I still need to check out the Pouille wedding video - I’m missing the tennis Sad

Yes, it's a rather bold statement from His Lordship Grin

PrivateSpidey · 18/09/2019 18:16
Grin He really ramped it up by adding the waistcoat for extra green!

He missed a trick, though. He should have tinted his beard green aswell Grin

Btw, has anyone seen the Laver Cup photos? Team "World" has gone for full grumpy catalogue model pose (apart from Raonic, who looks cheery), while Team Europe looks like they're just having a bit of a laugh.

Shaggy/Norville knows what's what Grin

I see M Leconte has been there today, wafting the alluring scent of l'eau d'Henri around the stadium no doubt Grin

We need a different name for Medvedev (a nice one, obv) to differentiate from the original Shaggy... (well, the tennis original that is).

I'm sure inspo will come from somewhere...

Well done Norville for giving Kyrgios the evils Grin

I still don’t really understand the Laver Cup - it looks a bit like a made up tournament.

Is it on Amazon Prime?

JaneJeffer · 19/09/2019 19:29

It's on Eurosport Fizzy

It is a bit of an exhibition really, The Laver Cup, but they are really pushing it this year.

I read something Fed said about Rafa being there, that was quite funny- he was saying the venue was really big- plenty of space behind the baseline , even for Rafa Grin.

Saw a picture of Djok today, holding a potato. This was taken to be a a dig at Kyrgios, who likes calling people potatoes. I can't imagine Djok eats potatoes. Too carby. Grin.
He also seemed to hint that his shoulder could need surgery- but I'm not sure if that is not just trying to make his opponents feel a bit insecure.

I love the Laver Cup pictures. Thiem still looks like a little boy playing dress up Grin

JaneJeffer · 19/09/2019 20:47

I saw Djok with the potato pickers. Can't imagine him tucking into bangers and mash!

Raahh · 19/09/2019 20:49

Jane no, you never know what you're getting in a sausage. Grin

oo-er missus.

It's all getting a bit Carry On (not that there's anything wrong with that Grin)

I see Cock had his own hyperbaric chamber on the back of a huge truck at the US Open and other US tournaments, to aid his recovery Hmm

He just needs a good meal and to loosen up a bit.
Perhaps Stan can take him under his wing GrinBearWineCake

kazzaD66 · 19/09/2019 21:19

Aahh, the waft of a good Havana and a fine Cognac, blended with a ripe Camembert.
C'est l'eau d'Henri Grin

I can just picture the advert private Grin

Raahh · 19/09/2019 21:20

I'm quite happy for Djok to take an extended break for shoulder surgery. I felt sorry for him once, and it came back to bite me. Grin

I'm a bit concerned that Stan might actually be a Bear and that was who Tomas pointing at Grin.

kazzaD66 · 19/09/2019 22:24

Exactly Raahh We won't be falling for the "I'm on my last legs, oh woe is me" routine twice Hmm

PrivateSpidey · 19/09/2019 22:55

Grin you lot are making me laugh Grin

As is this picture!! Hahaha - Rafa is so extra (as I believe the kids say these days?!) - hilarious.

I can just picture the advert private
Oh yes!! Henri was born to advertise fine cologne, no question!! I noticed Khachanov (ok it's actually his Hemsworth doppelganger) has his own perfume ad, so Henri should definitely get in on the act.
