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!

Raahh that's brilliant, I love those names.

Loving all the name stories tbh. The Isners have got nothing on us lot!!

Exactly- very dull bunch

(Considerably taller than me though).

I just read the end of the thread and thought that Kim and Andy had had their baby - a girl called Sylvia - I got all excited!

John Isner is very unimaginative calling his son John (John is not a very interesting name anyway)

I enjoyed reading about all the family names but did get a bit confused!

Can’t believe that Rafa is spending time with Djok when he could be on his honeymoon.

that would be lovely! The name Sylvia should def make a comeback. Kim, Andy if you're reading - the name is Sylvia. Ok?!?

That is a bit odd about Rafa going to Kazakhstan with Djok when he could be on his honeymoon!!! I suppose it was all planned ages ago, but still! I saw a funny clip of some kind of on-court dance off Rafa didn't look that keen, but Djok seemed well into it!

I need to check out the dance off!

Yes it was quite funny. A ball kid had to come onto court and save Rafa from the melee

Raahh my middle name is Elizabeth aswell!

My dear mum never really liked her name much. If she was here now, she'd probably be rolling her eyes at all the Sylvia love

I hope Andy and Kim have a boy, to even things up a bit! Or will he follow in Tim's footsteps and have a house full of girls

I see Stan came through eventually against Tiafoe and plays Roger next.
Well, I know which Swiss chap I want to win

Private where can I view this bizarre dance off?

Our NDN, a lovely woman, is called Sylvia and our NDN when I was growing up was also called Sylvia and was also lovely. So it's clearly a great name.

I wonder if Kim's had the baby, they're not ones for publicising things immediately are they?

Hmm Stan v Roger in Basel eh - come on Stan!! It'd be great if he won.

They can't call her Sylvia Murray because Sylvia's Mother

Here you go kazza

strange dance-off

The child running away at the end

Just reading on Twitter apparently Stan's out of Basel with a back injury

He's had some bad luck lately with injuries hasn't he?

Oh Lordy private!
What on earth?!!!

Yes, Djok was clearly in his element but Rafa.........not so much so....

Loved the heavies running on court to deal with the rogue boy

Jane I know I keep watching it, it's really making me laugh!

No, Stan! Seriously?!

Rafa's like "Get me out of here"

The more you watch the funnier it gets PMSL at the guy in the suit

Poor Rafa was trying to moonwalk away

That’s so funny - poor Rafa - that’s how I look if I ever get dragged onto the dance floor!

It's so funny - how he half heartedly joins in then starts backing away And Djok's totally into it

Fizzy I hear you, that's me as well (unless a few g&t's have been consumed).

Yes it looks like Stan's out - gutted!

Djok is doing running man and Rafa is quite sensibly backing away

He he snap Spidey

Just had a quick google and there’s a bit of a dance off history between Rafa and Djok - in 2011 Djok did a bit of a salsa on court and then invited Rafa to do the same. Djok is really into it but Rafa looks a bit embarrassed and awkward - it makes me like him even more
