Tennis Thread: it may be nearing the end of the season but no negative face! Still plenty to look forward to...

Couldn't resist!

Happy wedding day Rafa and Maria/Xisca!

ooh, Jo Willy might be turning this around.

I think I posted the hazmat suit after one of the ball boys had to pick up used tissues which is gross. Bad enough sweaty towels. Can't remember which player it was.

Jane it was definitely a 'look'

It's rank - they should definitely have hazmat suits!

I watched Sascha as well. Lucky JWT managed to qualify him for the WTFs!

I am trying to watch but pesky trick or treaters keep ringing the bloody doorbell! (I like it really.)

But I'll be glad when it's over (especially if they've left me some sweets).

DD2 didn't want to go trick or treating this year. I took the dog around the estate this morning, and wesaw all the houses decorated, a lot of them go all out. Our corner is very dark, and we rarely get anyone (I have elderly disabled neighbours, and they don't encourage people , mainly because of mobility issues) and there is no-one opposite who bothers.

DD is now disappointed no one has been round.

She does have a party to morrow at school ,and a big party at my sister's on Saturday. Plus, we will have all the crap stuff I bought on the off chance anyone did decide to knock.

It is still early though.

This match is getting good. Sascha has been struggling a bit in his match, and Shaggy might just take it, if he doesn't sort his head out in the 3rd.

Sascha looked grumpy as anything when I was watching! I've just switched over to Tsonga v Struff - Jo Willy is serving to stay in it.

Sorry to hear about the lack of trick or treaters - I'm trying to get rid of all the haribo etc now just on the off chance there'll be some celebrations left later (yeah right).

Have had two sets of kids at the door writing that! Jo has survived so far...

I've now taken to sitting on the stairs (not for tennis nerves reasons) but so I don't have to keep going to the door from the kitchen!!

Got the iPad with me. Come on Jo!

Match point Struff (this is probably over as Amazon is so behind...)

Yes!! Jo!

well done Jo-Willy!

Rafa last lost to Stan...in Paris . But it was a very close straight sets lost, at the end of 2015, which was during Rafa's 'slump'.

Oh bloody hell - I've overstretched myself here - trying to do the dinner, Rafa's about to start, and these kids keep knocking at the door - something's got to give!!

And Shaggy won!

I've just realised Stan is dressed like the ball boys.

The commentators are really dull.

Rafa got married.

Has won 12 French open titles.

Beat Thiem twice in a final.

Has won 19 Gs.

I mean, get new material!

Do they think people watching this , don't know this?

My dog would have more original things to say.

They're almost as bad as AC!!

At least he gives us a bit of wild life patter, discusses the seats.

Worries about lunch.

But honestly, Rafa got married you know.

And is Stan allowed to be interacting with his players box so much? Even if he is enjoying himself?

We’ve not had any trick or treaters either . My don’t ring the doorbell vibes must have been pretty strong this year!

I was flicking between the Tsonga match and the Zverev match - i did think that Jo Willy would get Struffed. Pleased that Shaggy managed to hold his nerve.

Just managed to get rid of an annoying financial person trying to sell us something so missed the beginning of the Rafa match - wonder what song they come onto this time?

AC would have had a field day with Rafa’s wedding

We don't have a door bell

But we did put a pumpkin in the window, and usually do get some. But nobody.

And 8 is my cut off . (Usually by this time it is all over, most of the dc round her are fairly young- anyone later, it's likely to be a teenage chancer in just a mask and hoody.).

Fizzy it was Smalltown Boy again- I'm really not sure what they are trying to say !

Rafa has just got married - to a woman- dontcha know.

It is a bit of an odd choice!

a bit of wild life patter

Yes at least it gives us something to talk about!!

I hear you about the 8pm cut off Raahh. I'm about to bring the spooky turnip inside and turn the lights off.

We've had a few teens but their costumes were quite good! One kid earlier was in a unicorn onesie

One of dd1's friends, who is 13 has gone out as Chase from Paw Patrol (because his name is Chase).

As I am not a pre-schooler, and mine are a bit old for Paw Patrol (although we I still watch Hey Duggee), I did have to google this.

And he made his costume, and it is very good .
