Lovely to see Sue Grin

JaneJeffer · 10/11/2019 13:54

Does Tim not realise the workload Sascha has? Oh AC does!

PrivateSpidey · 10/11/2019 14:35

Berrettini is having a good crack at this isn't he... Not saying he'll win. But I love his attitude.

Ok so 6-2 does not look that good. But he was going for it, Berrettini, just some errors on those big shots/points.

I'm trying to ignore AC, but he did just say Tim had "pretty hands" - I presume he meant in a tennis sense Hmm

According to some gossip on another thread, maybe not Private Grin

PrivateSpidey · 10/11/2019 14:52

He's just described Berrettini as a "slugger". The cheek Hmm

I don't think he got to the WTFs being a "slugger".

He's driving me mad, I can't take it any more!

What's this now Jane??? Shock

The whole convo just reminded me of that scene in Flushed Away with the gangster rats: "You've got ladies' hands. You've got your mother's hands" Grin

I hope Raahh will know what I'm on about if no-one else does!

Grin Flushed Away

JaneJeffer · 10/11/2019 15:10

Somebody insinuated that AC served on the other side of the net shall we say!

JaneJeffer · 10/11/2019 15:19

I keep having to wrestle the telly back from the football grr.

Fizzywinegum · 10/11/2019 15:24

Flushed Away gets way too many mentions on this thread Grin - it’s a very long time since I saw it.

That’s interesting about AC Jane - sounds like an interesting thread.

Was weird seeing all those people with “we love Novak” flags - do you think he paid them?

I think Berrettini was a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing but did play some good points.

Raahh · 10/11/2019 15:27

I am back in hospital . Keith has made his presence felt with a vengeance. I am missing everything. Sad

Fizzywinegum · 10/11/2019 15:30

Oh no Raahh Flowers. Hope you get better soon - pesky Keith.

JaneJeffer · 10/11/2019 15:36

Oh poor you Raahh Thanks

PrivateSpidey · 10/11/2019 15:43

Oh no Raahh Flowers so sorry to hear this.

Hope they can sort out Keith/Kevin asap.

Fizzy I reckon you should get reacquainted with Flushed Away - you know you want to! Grin

It was a bit unusual to see so many Djok fans. I know Novak does have a very loyal fan base but you just don't really see them much - the main place I remember them was at the Aus Open this year...

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 10/11/2019 16:05

I think my days of watching children’s films are over Spidey (apart from Toy Story 4!). I did quite fancy watching Shaun the Sheep Farmageddon though - I’ll have to borrow my little niece Smile

I guess Djok must have some fans but yes it is unusual to actually see them!

magimedi · 10/11/2019 16:42

Raahh Hope the wretched Keith gets sorted asap.

Well, the tennis passed an hour. Fell asleep for about 20 mins of it!

JaneJeffer · 10/11/2019 17:42

I quite fancy a snooze myself. I've eaten too much dinner.

PrivateSpidey · 10/11/2019 18:33

What did you have Jane?

My DH fell asleep during the Djok match as well magi. He doesn't appreciate Djok's style of play Grin

I see John Bercow is in the house (well, the O2) for this evening.

OP posts:
PrivateSpidey · 10/11/2019 18:35

I'm still waiting for dinner to be ready. I'm sure I started making it right after the tennis finished this afternoon Hmm

Although to be fair, I have been faffing about quite a bit as well Grin

JaneJeffer · 10/11/2019 19:10

I had roast beef with carrots, cabbage and mash Private. I'm now plonked back on the sofa watching David Attenborough.

Fizzywinegum · 10/11/2019 21:14

Thiem’s taken the first set against Rog - come on Dominic!

JaneJeffer · 10/11/2019 21:18

Ooh come on Domi!!

Fizzywinegum · 10/11/2019 21:25

Tim has grudgingly admitted that Domi is a good all round player (now that he is winning against Rog)!
