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...

I don’t really know who I want to win this match - I like them both.

Behave yourself Boris!

BORIS!!
I've told you before, that's how you get yourself into trouble

He doesn’t learn does he kazza?

AC is obsessed about Thiem’s girlfriend

Has Tim escaped?

AC is obsessed about Thiem’s girlfriend

He's mentioned her every match hasn't he?!

She's just won the Fed Cup you know.

We get it AC.

Tim's back.

Maybe he's been for his builder's brew?

Oh there's Tim.

Probably just overawed by AC's incredible banter.

Must have been.

I have an advert for a mug that say 'Let's stay in and watch Hallmark Christmas movies'

That's more me than expensive shoes

Omg that was tailor made for you Raahh!!

I noticed Netflix is at it now with the generic Christmas films. I watched one earlier about a ditsy heiress to a family business, who doesn't want to take on the business but do something more worthwhile instead... Etc etc.

Honestly, this stuff writes itself.

I started watching the 4th Nativity film earlier. That was when I fell asleep. There must be a limit to what even I can put up with

ooh- I can get a popcorn bucktet and socks as well!

I don't really know who I want to win this. I like Stef, he's been my one to watch all year, but I think Dom deserves his break through. Although I don't want him to take over from Rafa on clay for a few years yet.

Dom doesn't seem right though.

I think AC fancies Stef.

They both look a bit peaky actually - I’m not sure if it’s the orange and grey, the lighting at the O2 or remains of the Nolevirus but they both look a bit pale.

Domi won’t be happy if he loses this one.

He mentioned the hair Raahh

No, Dom will be very unhappy to lose this. He didn't look well against Matteo though, seemed to be a bit better yesterday. He played so well, earlier in the week- especially given this really isn't a surface he likes.

AC helpfully reminding us that Dom is Austrian.

And arms and legs fizzy

Bet AC dreams of Stef under a waterfall.

sorry

I could do with this finishing sooner rather than later.
I've got the Strictly Results show to watch back (no spoilers!) and the dishwasher to empty.

Bet AC dreams of being with Stef under the waterfall.

Double sorry

Oh ffs!
Thiem breaking back will not shorten the match!

That must be why I know him
