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...

Thiem the Terminator.

I always think of Dom as being really young and little, so that seems like such a misnomer.

Like Tiger Tim .

Grrr.

When AC was listing all of Dominics achievements this year it was as if he didn’t really believe what he was saying - so rude!

I thought they’d hidden him in the cupboard when it was just Tim and Boris but he’s managed to escape!

I’ve rallied a bit now thanks Spidey - I’m having a medicinal glass of wine - could kill or cure. No one has offered to make tea in spite of me being ill so looks like it’s down to me

I think you'll find that most of us know who Goffin and Dimitrov are, you condescending f*wit!

It's like a wresting match- in one corner we have the Austrian, Thiem the Terminator. Austrian - but we're not sure who he is. In the other corner, we have Timotei Tsitsipas, the Greek God.

Seconds out .

kazza he's appalling isn't he? But I think AC is employed to appeal to the tennis fans who think a) mostly British, b) tennis happens mostly in the summer around Wimbledon b) it isn't actually tennis if Murray isn't involved.

So of course, they wouldn't know who anyone out side of the top 3.

Which AC will insist is a big 4 .

Timotei Tsitsipas - is it wrong to imagine him washing his hair under a waterfall? (magi wouldn’t think so )

Missed half the words out of that. The dog has joined me. Thanks dog.

Fizzy

We really shouldn't encourage magi .

But yes, Stef, under a waterfall.

I liked that shot of Stefanos with the halo above his head

kazza I 've noticed that a few times this week, it's cool, isn't it .

The camera angle is great.

If it stops magi posting distasteful photos of AC (basically, any photos of him at all) we should encourage her in her lust for Timotei Tsistipas

Ooh, a political joke about Hugh Grant from AC

AC still digging for Djok dirt from Boris

kazza true, that picture

Right dinner is finished thankfully so now I can watch! Enjoying your AC comments

AC has now fulfilled his obligations by shoe- horning a Murray -mention in.
We can all relax.

This unknown Theim fellow is pretty good.

But that was a horrible miss.

It was - he'll be kicking himself

Funny how AC didn't mention Djok having an army of fans .

Funny how quickly things turn around in tie breaks.

First set to Thiem the Terminator.

The Thiem-inator

Sorry.

Well Stef has obviously stayed v positive after losing that set. That's a good sign for him.

no, no negative face from Stef.

At least it's a match.Which is good. Dom needs to re-focus though.
