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

[PrivateSpidey]

Welcome one and all!

I haven’t got any snacks - I do have wine though

What I want to come out of this, is that Daniil becomes the player the media talk about - instead of Dick. He can play the baddie, but he can also play.

i know who I would rather get behind.

Wine is also a snack.

Medvedev’s wife doesn’t look very happy!

She looked a bit bored.

oof.

Tim clearly doesn't watch many Rafa matches.

Rafa very rarely hits the ground running. He usually takes ages to get going!

Fizzy DH used to pull regular all-nighters when we lived in England. It’s quite nice to be back in the right time zone

Raahh wine is definitely a snack! Canada is going nuts over Bianca as you can imagine.

Ooh advantage Nadal.

Didn't Daniil lose against Rafa the last time?

She deserves it- first Canadian slam winner. And at the US Open, against their best player.

Couldn't be a sweeter victory ..

Hearts yes, he lost in the final in Toronto. It was a pretty straightforward win for Rafa- but Daniil has done very well since.

I like “wine is a snack”

Rafa not happy about the time violation - the referee is stamping his authority early.

Come on Rafa!

Bianca’s achievement was amazing Hearts on lots of levels.

At least it's better than (last year?) at Wimbledon when he was given a time violation before the match even started.

Eek - I think Rafa will find Medvedev’s unpredictability hard to deal with.

Medvedev already looks knackered... but then he has done for the whole two weeks.

He always looks on the verge of collapse Spidey

Come on Rafa!

I am always astounded to discover that people actually eat Twiglets.

I am following along with live text as DH is trying desperately to finish a book and I am being a Kind Wife today. (For a change.)

Seems like it's going to be a good contest.

Grouchy I am always amazed i like them . I HATE marmite.

Grouchy I know, they seem so wrong! But I like them

Tim and Martina are ganging up on Petch - they’re dissing his stats!

You can’t get Twiglets here. (Canada)

Pretty even match so far...

Quite right too Fizzy - why does he think Lendl vs Whoever it was is relevant right now?!

When he starts on "hit points" I'll definitely nod off.

Sorry Petch.

Twiglets are like olives to me, very moreish. Odd, as I don’t like either marmite or olive oil.

Take your chance now, Rafa.

Petch and his stats are really dull.

And I love a good stat, me.

I love olives.

Have to be careful though, i went though a phase of eating a lot of them. But I am susceptible to kidney stones, and sadly olives are very salty.
