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!

I started watching the match and my Prime went wonky.

I was annoyed when they walked out and Catherine very pointedly sayid 'current' number 2 in relation to Djok. They have all (as per) decided Rafa is out of this.

It gets on my nerves.

You knowwhat I find quite sad, and also a bit insulting- is there is a British player in the doubles.

However, since he is neither Andy nor Jamie Murray, Joe Salisbury is being pretty much ignored. (He and Rajeev have won a match and lost one so far).

Which is a bit rubbish when you think about it.

Why are they all so annoying when it comes to Rafa? (and Dick but for the opposite reason) grr.

Come on Domi!

Jane I really don't get what it is they have against him. But Catherine really annoyed me, it was the way she said it- usually she is one of the more measured ones.

We don't know yet what tomorrow might bring. Rafa is playing Medvedev- who I actually wanted to win the title if Rafa doesn't - but if Daniil is a little distracted - Rafa may stand a chance.

and yes, COME ON DOM!!

I do like that the crowd seem to be on Dom's side.

I hate tie breaks.

This is where it all goes wrong.

Grrr.

Oh, so Djok didn't like the crowd being on Dom's side.

That's a shame.

You'd think he would be used to it.

Why do they want Djok to win so much??

Dammit

Where's his rent-a-crowd gone then?

Maybe Dom pays more.

COME ON DOM.

No negative face- worked for Sascha!

Just watching the scores - come on Domi! The rent a crowd “I love Djok” people did look a bit fake the other night Jane

Ooh, I clapped then an worried the dog

Oh, I'm not a neutral.

COME ON DOM!!

Dom was unlucky in the first set- and is playing brilliantly this one.

What I hope isn't happening (and I've seen it a few times this year) is that Djok is just letting this set go.

And will come back and bagel the 3rd. As he does.

It's a risky strategy against Thiem.

It is- and I hope Dom makes him pay for it.

Don't choke now, Dom. Get the set out of the way.

Why do they keep sounding so surprised that Dom is doing well? I know it's not his best surface- but he's capable of getting in Djok's head. Like Delpo gets to Fed on occasion.

Thiem beat him at RG- despite Djok's best efforts to stall the match and cheat his way to a win. IMO, anyway .

He can beat him here.

GO DOM.

He needs to feed off the crowd- because it is annoying Djok .

Come on Domi! I'm glad I don't have to listen to the commentary. It sounds very annoying!

Commentators have changed their tune, haven't they?
