The commentary is , as usual, dreary. I am not a fan of Frew.

Raahh · 22/09/2019 16:53

Our new mate Medvedev has won in St Petersburg. So that's nice.

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2019 16:58

Frew is very soporific.

Well done Daniil.

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2019 17:26

Yay!

Fizzywinegum · 22/09/2019 17:27

The South African commentator (Rob someone?) has been on Prime quite a bit. He definitely gives JC a run for his money - he never shuts up and he’s got one if those voices that I can’t tune out. I think they’re giving him a rest today (thank goodness!)

Oh no - he seems to have suddenly reappeared!

Rogers looking a bit knackered - but he’s gone and won the match.

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2019 17:32

I think Sascha wanting Roger or Rafa to play is a sign of respect not a lack of confidence Hmm

Fizzywinegum · 22/09/2019 17:34

I’ve enjoyed watching Milos warm up - he was doing some shoulder pulley things and now skipping!

I’m watching Prime Jane - I think the interviewing/commentary styles are as bad on both channels.

Raahh · 22/09/2019 17:36

Jane me too. It's Sascha being all 'umble and saying that the top 2 should do the honours.

Sadly, Rafa can't. I have enjoyed his court side antics as much as his play, though. His discussion with Stefanos over hand signals in the doubles was very funny. Grin.

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2019 18:18

Frew agreed with us!

Come on Sascha!!

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2019 18:35

Come on Europe!

Fizzywinegum · 22/09/2019 18:38

Thompson looks as if he should be in a dodgy 70s movie with that tache Grin

Come on Team Europe - go Sascha!

Rafa and Stefanos with the hand signals was very funny - I think Rafa told him he could use any finger!

Raahh · 22/09/2019 19:01

I keep missing chunks of this match- and now I see Milos looks ready to level the match.

I did hear Frew talking about pancakes. That is stooping to AC level commentary. Grin

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2019 19:04

Stef doing his best Louis Walsh impression there.

Raahh · 22/09/2019 19:13

JaneJeffer · 22/09/2019 19:14

Ah feck - tiebreak!

Raahh · 22/09/2019 19:15

Come on Sascha!!

Raahh · 22/09/2019 19:15

Fancy being followed to the loo by Fed and Rafa Grin

kazzaD66 · 22/09/2019 19:16

Just put the tennis on to see Raonic win second set.

Then mum and dad taking son down the tunnel, with some very colourful language from dad Roger! Grin

Fizzywinegum · 22/09/2019 19:17

There was a lot of swearing with Zverev going down the tunnel there - DH said it was from Rafa but I don’t believe him!

kazzaD66 · 22/09/2019 19:18

NO NEGATIVES!!!!

kazzaD66 · 22/09/2019 19:18

It was Roger fizzy

Raahh · 22/09/2019 19:20

No, can't imagine Rafa swaering- well maybe in Spanish Grin

Oh heck- he's lost the mini break.

I hate 'mini break'

Raahh · 22/09/2019 19:20

or even swearing Grin

kazzaD66 · 22/09/2019 19:23

I have to say, Sascha wouldn't be my first choice for the deciding match, but then again, I wouldn't choose Milos either Confused

Raahh · 22/09/2019 19:24

Think Sascha is nervous.
