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...

Although we will endure celebrate our 25th next year

I have also endurjoyed 25 years of marriage.

35 years next year, for me - get out sooner for murder

I have just been panicking as couldn't find the tennis anywhere - didn't realise it's a 6pm start

I was all set with my brew and Viscount biscuit

Now what am I going to do for the next four hours?!

Crisis averted - Mrs Miracle 2 is on!

I know Spidey I was expecting a 2pm start - 6pm’s a bit too late and will interfere with dinner etc

I’m feeling a bit rubbish with a cold so I’m binge watching the new series of The Crown on Netflix while laying under a blanket - I’m on episode 4 already . It’s good if you like that sort of thing.

Mmm I’ve not had a viscount biscuit for years - what flavour is it?

Fizzy hope you're feeling better soon. I'm going to start watching The Crown tonight all being well - glad it's good, I was a bit concerned about the new actors taking over (loved Claire Foy and Matt Smith).

The Viscount was mint btw - v nice, but it was tiny, I had to have two!

Get a room

Jane

Mmm mint viscount - yum. The crown is still good Spidey - I also loved the original cast - Olivia Coleman is good though.

I’m still feeling a bit rubbish - I keep falling asleep which isn’t like me really. 6pm seems ages away - hope I can stay awake

Crikey! Mint Viscount biscuits! I'd completely forgotten about them but I used to love them. They were a bit of a tea time treat when I was a child

Yes they're a bit of a blast from the past for me as well! I also got Toffypops at the same time - another retro classic.

Hope you're holding up ok Fizzy - not long until it starts now!! Just as we're about to have dinner

Pleased that Mahut and PHH won the doubles - they've won nearly everything now - glad they reunited.

I thought it would be a 2pm start too!
But i fell asleep.

So here we go. Quite pleased with the finalists, cant believe it's the last match already.

I'm pleased for Mahut and Murray's doubles partner too.

Will be something if Stef wins the next next gen and this back to back, won't it?

Stefan!

STEFAN!!!!!

Still has the best backhand.
He was being typically modest

Still don't like this grey and orange kit. And it's on both sides of the net

There should be awards for kit of the year.

I would vote for the skeletons on the Nike kits at RG. Just because they were definitely a talking point.

Sorry Raahh they were a talking point for all the wrong reasons. That kit was bloody awful

Sorry who's this guy they're talking about?! Dominic someone??

kazza I have no idea what Nike were thinking with the whole range,

But they all still looked better than Federer in the UPS kit .

Thiem? Is he playing today?

I wonder what Dom thinks of AC?

Has he ever met him, I wonder. Would his first question be- what did you win exactly?

I have no idea who he is. I think he's Austrian because he sounds like The Terminator.

If Dom is completely honest, I suspect his views of AC are much like ours

kazza yes, I think you are probably right. .

I can hear him saying 'idiot' in an Austian accent. (well, if I knew who he was, I would be able to visualise this, obviously). .
