That’s a shame about Rafa - hope it’s not too serious - at least I don’t have to watch Dick now - hope Thiem gives him a thrashing!

I was surprised that Rafa played in the doubles last night - has RBA had a match yet? I think he’s there as the alternate which I always think sounds a bit unfortunate.

Stan loves any breed of bear Bear Grin

Wish I'd seen the chat about the individual traits. I love all that sort of stuff because you get to see another, more human, side to them. That's why it's so funny with ma Rafa and pa Rog, and maybe gramps Bjorn Grin

Borg still looks like such a cool dude Wink

Is there any play at the moment?
DH is currently watching the England rugby match. Some of the Tongan players are huge! One of them is 24 stone Shock
Stan is positively svelte in comparison Grin

This bloody rugby honestly, there seem to have been about 100 matches already and it's only day 3 or something?! Hmm

I love the Tongan team kazza and the Japanese. The Japanese stayed near us when the world cup was here last time and they did loads of things locally with kids etc and were so polite. Also they tidied their changing rooms after they lost a match! Shock

And it goes on for six weeks private I think I heard the commentator say the final is the 4th or 5th November!

Still, I much prefer rugby to football Smile

Tonga didn't do to well nor did Scotland this morning.

My Eurosport channel has got stuck at 2-1. I'm glad Rafa isn't playing or I'd throw the telly out the window!

Fizzywinegum · 22/09/2019 14:31

I’m fed up of the rugby already!

Apparently Dick is injured now so it’s Taylor Fritz against Thiem. I suspect that there has been some behind the scenes shenanigans and Mac admitted that everyone had been a bit bendy about the rules Shock.

I still can’t quite work out who is being the bad guy though - Team Europe or Team World!

At least there’s someone on the Europe bench now.

Raahh · 22/09/2019 14:33

I've been out. I see team World are now in the lead- how did that happen?? And Dick isn't playing?

Rafa was looking unhappy as Fritz took that set.

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2019 14:41

I'm confused Confused

Fizzywinegum · 22/09/2019 14:59

I’m confused as well Jane but I think Team World were unhappy that they couldn't play someone who was more matched to Thiem after Rafa withdrew.

Kyrgios then withdrew due to a shoulder injury (although Mac was very vague about when he actually became injured) and was replaced by Fritz who I assume they thought was a better match against Thiem.

I think that’s what happened anyway - apparently Roger and Rafa are not happy!

Raahh · 22/09/2019 15:03

It's all got a bit tense, I think. I'm not convinced by Dick's injury. Although he did fall last night.

Fritz is playing a bit above his pay grade.

Fizzywinegum · 22/09/2019 15:13

Roger is now coaching Thiem in German - Rafa quite sensibly decided not to join in Grin

Aargh

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2019 15:38

Taylor Fritz was amazing I have to say.

Fizzywinegum · 22/09/2019 15:42

He was pretty good wasn’t he Jane - now it’s Rog against Toddler John.

Raahh · 22/09/2019 16:40

I like listening to Rafa talking about Roger.

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2019 16:42

Is rather listen to Rafa chatting than the commentary we've got.
