Love that, Jane.

Just watching Sascha doing some stretching before his match. Sensibly in grey again.

He has very skinny ankles and quite small feet for such a tall man. Maybe it's my tv.

Oh. here we go.

PrivateSpidey · 13/10/2019 09:44

I'm waiting for my DS to return my iPad so I can watch Hmm I feel a bit sorry for him as his has given up the ghost, so I rashly said he could use mine, forgetting tennis was starting now.

Will be relying on your commentary until it's returned!

Agree re Sascha btw. I don't know how someone with that build can play a big hitting game like he does, it's unreal.

Speaking of big hitting, I see Stan is playing Antwerp next week...

Go Stan!- he will need to get Andy another bear for the new arrival.
It's a good thing they have a couple of big houses to put them in. Grin

It is quite nice to watch a match that i don't really mind who wins- I will be happy for both. I'm becoming a bit of a Medvedev fan, but I'm really glad that Sascha has turned his year around. It is turning into a nice rivalry. I just hope no injuries turn up to spoil the party, because it would be good if the younger players could get some wins in. (Not against Rafa though- I really want him to win the WTF this year- might be his last chance).

Raahh · 13/10/2019 09:56

The howling wolf is back Grin

And Medvedev is in the zone.

He has the early break.

I want this to be a good match though- not like Daniil's loss to Rafa in Canada (I was glad it was that way around at the time, but I wouldn't want it to happen to Sascha!). 3-0 to Dan.

PrivateSpidey · 13/10/2019 10:01

Sounds promising for Medvedev so far then. Hope it's not over too quickly or I probably won't get to see any of it!

Haha that's true about Stan - I bet he'd love the chance to do some more teddy bear shopping!

Sascha is about to break back, he is finding a bit of fight in this game. But Dan is playing some great shots.

I am always bemused by Sascha's massive medallion. (not a euphemism). How his jewellery doesn't whack him in the face, I don't know. Grin.

Raahh · 13/10/2019 10:05

Or maybe he isn't.

He's blowing his chances a bit.

Come on Sascha, make a match of it.

Raahh · 13/10/2019 10:06

Dan starting to make some errors now.

PrivateSpidey · 13/10/2019 10:07

I think Dan gifted Sascha that game, some strange errors.

Raahh · 13/10/2019 10:09

ooh, they are playing Dee-lite, Groove is in the Heart, takes me back to university, that does. (And getting very drunk at my wedding Grin).

PrivateSpidey · 13/10/2019 10:12

Grin tune.

Sounds like a good match.

OP posts:
Raahh · 13/10/2019 10:21

So, we are now at 4-4.

Not sure what has happened with Daniil, he had a few errors and let Sascha back in the match.

But it's good that now we have a match.

PrivateSpidey · 13/10/2019 10:22

Great, the iPad has been returned.

OP posts:
Raahh · 13/10/2019 10:28

Well the set ended quite quickly- two double faults from Sascha.

6-4 to Daniil.

PrivateSpidey · 13/10/2019 10:37

It did - Sascha'll be kicking himself for those double faults I bet.

OP posts:
Raahh · 13/10/2019 10:39

Oh, this set is going the way of the last one.

PrivateSpidey · 13/10/2019 10:41

Hmm. Sascha looks a bit "negative face".

OP posts:
magimedi · 13/10/2019 10:45

I can't see it, but I know the face you mean & I'd call it 'spolit brat' face!

JaneJeffer · 13/10/2019 10:48

Come on Sascha!!

Raahh · 13/10/2019 10:56

Phew! No bagel!
