Tennis thread: it's almost the off-season, but the tennis chat continues!

[PrivateSpidey]

It's not quite time to don your woolly jumpers or stoke up your log fires for the winter - still some tennis to be played this season!

An exciting, mathematically challenging WTFs continues, new Davis Cup soon, etc...

Been out for most of the day, completely unaware of the tennis result. Can't believe that. Was Rog off colour or was Stef just too good? Either way, I was not expecting that

Don't mind who wins now, either tonight or tomorrow.

Still haven't seen the Murray interview.
Who would like to quote it back to me, verbatim

BIt of both , you can't take it away from ST, he played like a demon, but RF looked a bit Limpy as he walked off court, and his serve was definitely off colour, only managed three aces. Great match though.

I'm sure you'll see it tomorrow kazza!

Here we go again - feeling slightly tennis-ed out (still going to watch though)...

I know what you mean, Spidey.

I will probably be dipping in and out of this.

But, Annabel no-one knows who Thiem is .

I do actually want to watch this match - but a longer gap between the two would have been nice

Will try and power through

Stay strong Private

Raahh'
Who, sorry??!

Is X-factor on ATM??

I think it starts at 8.20. I've worked out how I can switch between the two.

It would have been more useful, during a nervy Rafa match, really. .

I turned over , and the first thing on is Lizzo, singing her song, which I can't stand.

So I've come back for a bit. .

You're just in time for Petch's fascinating rally hit points analysis Raahh

Oh good. It's so pretty .

And the JL ad is on the ad break (already) on X Factor.

Oh the dragon thing? Not that I've actually seen it yet...

It's quite cute. A lot of people have been reading way too much into what is essentially an ad for a department store.

I used to work for JL- they haven't done ads for that long, really. I remember the fuss from the 'old guard' when the first one came out- lots of mutterings about selling out.

There are a ridiculous amount of ad breaks in X Factor.

Would be over in half an hour, without them.

How are you getting on Private?

First set to Thiem then- they aren't hanging about. I have missed 3 games, switching back and forth.

Dom is playing very well.

'Ello Jane .

Excellent dancing to a terrible song, from a man in the crowd there.

Hi Raahh
