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

[PrivateSpidey]

Welcome one and all!

I had a feeling Fed wound win the set, I saw a very brief bit of it and couldn't stomach the commentary.

David was unlucky in that set. I hope he keeps up the momentum.

Ah well it didn't quite pan out as we hoped. Typical.

Delpo's comeback is postponed, or so I've just been reading. He might as well leave it now until Delray beach (8pm sharp!).

I see Heather Watson has had a good win in China. Apparently, it's only her second WTA win this year!

Delpo's comebacks must be very time specific .

I've just watched the end of the Medvedev match- he is playing so well at the moment. Foggy doing his best to put him off at times ( didn't work).

If Daniil plays Djok in the semi final, I think Novak will have his work cut out.

Of course, there's always the possibility that Stefanos could pull off an upset...

Zverev plays Fed later, do we think he could cause an upset? He has been playing better lately.

Yes, I think he could Raahh. I saw a bit of his match v Rublev and he was absolutely smashing it for the first set and a half, lost it a bit but then came back.

I don't reckon Roger played that well against Goffin yesterday (despite what the commentators might have said) and Zverev is definitely capable of winning in best of 3. Come on Sascha!!

Foggy doing his best to put him off at times ( didn't work)

Well, they can't possibly say anything against Roger can they? I'm glad I didn't see it.

I keep hearing strange noises in the stadium, like howling. Or it could be my TV.

woo-hoo!!

I got back from the school run, and saw that Stef was doing better this set, but I thought it might go to a tie break breaker.

And Stef has taken the set!

If Stef doesn't win this, then a shaky Djok will be vulnerable against Medvedev I hope.

I don't want to jinx this match....

but I'm enjoying it at the moment.

Fantastic!

And the best thing is it means Rafa has more chance of being year end number one. (Which possibly matters more to me that him ) .

I so glad Novak lost.

I don't mind who wins between Stef and Daniil- I really want Sascha to bead Fed.

A bunch of young players in the semis would be refreshing, really.

oh bless! I'm just watching Stef's interview, and they told him he has qualified for London and he was genuinely shocked and thrilled- he had no idea. That's really amazing- last year , he was playing the Next Gen version, and complaining about head sets, this year he's with the big boys .

Yes! Just seen the result. Well done Stefanos!

Wish I'd had the time to watch. I do like to see Cock lose
Does that make me a bad person?

Of course Raahh the reason he was complaining about the headsets was that they play havoc with his Timotei locks.
Nothing to do with his dad screaming in his ear

kazza it makes you human

Stef didn't like the sweaty head sets on his pristine hair , no.

Or listening to his dad .

And none of them liked getting their own towels.

At least there is none of that at the O2 .

That's great for Stefanos! Brilliant result and so good he's made it to London. I laughed at getting their own towels - I forgot about that! The controversy!!

Watching Zverev v Fed. It's good. I'm going to be like Raahh and not say anything for fear of the jinx... except: I'm enjoying it so far!

We had a visitor, and I have just managed to switch this on.

Let me know if you hear any howls
I've been listening out but not heard any so far...

Good first set though. Aaahhh-wooooooo!!

(That was meant to be a howl )

I kept hearing them before- was very odd

Ooh...

Sascha is meaning business today. I've not seen him quite so focused for a while.

(Someone else must have the 'to do' list ).

I HEARD A HOWL!
