I saw something earlier about Grigor and his relationship with Nicole Shitsinger. i wonder if that had anything to do with his form dip? His play suffered when he was with Shrieky/they split up.

he needs to stay single for a while.

I see Alex has got a panda hat now. Stan will be livid.

I can't find that- but I agree, StanBear will be jealous!Grin

JaneJeffer · 28/09/2019 16:59

Oh it's actually Taylor Fritz who has the panda, that'll be why you couldn't find it Raahh Blush

Oh that is so cool! He always looks like a little boy,trying tot look older, - it suits him Grin.

Raahh · 28/09/2019 17:20

The Chengdu fans are obviously fond of their hats Grin.

JaneJeffer · 28/09/2019 17:30

I always think he looks a bit like Louis Tomlinson.

Raahh · 28/09/2019 17:47

Oh he does! Or as Louis Walsh would say , 'Taylor, you're like a little Louis Tomlinson'.

No sign of the X Factor yet. They're doing a celebrity one.

Raahh · 28/09/2019 18:19

I know! It feels so late. And I might even miss one of the very first episodes But I suppose they aren't doing the whole audition thing, since they are celebs- might seem insulting. Grin

JaneJeffer · 28/09/2019 18:32

Damn they missed a trick Grin

Raahh · 30/09/2019 18:49

In the absence of any tennis news at the moment (although Beijing is in action, I find the Chinese tournaments hard to keep up with , time wise)- I thought I would keep you up to date on Doctors.

SPOILERS Grin

Geoffrey, Val's painting cat, is dead.
It's very sad.

As am I, in many ways, obviously Grin.

It is devastating, Jane.

I'm not sure we will get over it, really. Sad

JaneJeffer · 30/09/2019 19:15

Not to worry. It has nine lives.

Oh no can’t believe the painting cat has died Sad Grin

Bring back the tennis!

Raahh · 30/09/2019 20:24

it's terrible.

Val's bananas.

She will probably have Geoffrey stuffed, and sit him on reception.

Raahh · 30/09/2019 20:28

In tennis news, Grigor lostSad

And the BBC no longer seem to care about Murray.Grin Or it's a case of they only mention him ad nauseum when he's playing in this country or wins something. Or...doubles Grin. He is due to play Berrettini. His stint in Beijing may be short lived, given Matteo's form of late.

kazzaD66 · 30/09/2019 20:53

Did you see that doubles result earlier - Stefanos and a partner I can't remember the name of (sorry, very rude of me Confused) lost the first set 6-3 to Farah and Cabal, so no surprise there. Then won the second set 6-0!! But lost 16-14 in the champions tiebreak.

Raahh · 30/09/2019 20:56

Is he playing with the Dutch one? I think I saw that-I agree, very odd score line!

JaneJeffer · 30/09/2019 21:00

It's Wesley Koolhof kazza have some respect!

(who?)

kazzaD66 · 30/09/2019 21:26

Sorry Jane Blush

JaneJeffer · 30/09/2019 21:33

Grin I realised after I typed his name that I do know him but how Stef paired up with him is a mystery. Doubles players chop and change a lot nowadays.

Bonjour mes amis from cold and wet France.

We've been away for a few days and no WiFi Shock so I've not been able to get onto MN. We're on hols with my ILs and my MIL is a big fan of Rafa - so we had a good chat about the USO final - v enjoyable!!

Just catching up with your comments now - gutted to hear about Geoffrey Sad Grin such devastating news!!

I saw Murray was about to lose the first set against Berrettini - that is a really tough match for a first round.

I think Delpo must be due back soon? He posted some lovely knitwear-based photos on IG recently - he was roaming around some Argentinian mountains, looking all autumnal. Be nice to see him back on court though.

I might not check in again for another few days but will look forward to catching up on all your musings soon!!
