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...

Thanks Spidey

Apparently Rafa is playing Dan Evans - even easier for you to choose kazza

Is shaggy too old for magi now?

I have been out most of the day. Manchester was busy. I used to practically live in the city centre, now I can't stand the crowd.

I make no apologies at all for taking Spain over GB. I'm not a fan of any of the GB players, if I'm honest .

well I was going to say hed been ditched for a younger model but I'm not sure who's the oldest of him and Tsitsipas - I think it's Stefanos??!

Might try and watch a bit of the tennis although the tv is taken over by Back to the Future at the mo...

Oi!! I haven't ditched Shaggy - just added another string to my bow!

Shaggy is a year younger than Tits.

I seem to have stumbled across another Christmas film with Melissa Joan Hart in it.

She must spend all her year making Christmas films!

Thanks for clarifying magi what about when Delpo comes back?!?

Raahh ugh I hear you about crowd's/busy-ness. We were in town today as well and I was basically like Victor Meldrew the whole time

I imagine I'm the only one here who wants Dan to beat Rafa fizzy

And I make no apologies for that

Not that I'm under any illusions about who will win

at the Christmas films - I've got a few recorded now for the coming weeks!! (Obv have watched one or two already..)

I’m with you on the crowds -ugh - m&s was v busy yesterday and it’s not even December yet!

Fizzy I never used to be bothered by the crowds, and loved wandering around at Chrismas. Manchester had one of the first Christmas markets and itn the UK, if not the first, it was just a small, Frankfurt market in one area.

Then it took over the town centre, and they no longer have a chestnut stall .
It's too much for me.

'heavy lifting' is featuring heavily in the cmmentary in relation to Rafa .

I have to go out briefly- and this clashes with X Factor .

Good win by Kyle over Deliciano.
I bet Judy was conflicted

Altogether now....."let's go Evo, let's go" clap clap

kazza

Vamos

I am trying to watch this and X Factor.

I will miss most of both trying to work my remote.

Yay! First set Rafa!

Well, looks like I need not have worried about Rafa.

Woohoo!

Vamos .

I can't believe Rafa is still playing like this after the season he's had. Well I can, but it's still unreal

He's playing doubles next as well!! With Deliciano.

How's X-factor?!

X Factor ended in predictable fashion.

Rafa has been playing like a demon this week.

If only he had had the chance to get to the tour finals- this could have been his year.

The commentators have a real downer on Lopez.

And as I typed that- they said something nice .
