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...

Tell him you fancy Andrew Lincoln (because who doesn't) and he might change his tune

I must admit, I prefer Andrew Lincoln more rough and ready in the Walking Dead , than Love Actually.

I hate Keira Knightly .

There's a lot I get annoyed about, but overall, I still have to watch the film every Christmas..

(I mean, I watch the 24 hour Christmas/Hallmark channel. I have no shame).

It shows none of us are that enthused by this match, that we aren't even commenting on how boring Henman is being. Just rderailing our own thread with film chat. A we do.

My secret Christmas film is The Holiday which I admit is crap but I want to live in Kate Winslet’s cottage

Embrace the crap Christmas films. It's the only way. I love loads of the Hallmark ones. .

I do like proper ones too- but I save those (although I've already watched Elf and Arthur Christmas).

I don't fancy Andrew Lincoln

The best Christmas film for festive hotness is The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant and David Niven

Is there tennis on btw?!

Now that's where I disagree with MN I like Keira Knightly and I love Atonement and the book as well!

Spidey I love all the old ones.

I can't get my family to watch them with me.

I rest my case!

I love Atonement as well Jane

I think there is tennis on.

Ooh look, Fed won the first set.

And from the crowd's reaction he is still doing well.

You don't even need to look up.

Fizzy The Holiday is in the so bad it's good category for me

I agree about the cottage as well - it's lovely!

You don't even need to look up.

I may have glanced up once or twice.

The remake of The Bishop's Wife (the Bishop's wife) was not good. Even if Denzel Washington was in it.

As I can't watch tennis I'm watching a programme about Sainsbury's. Don't ask me why. We don't even have Sainsbury's in Ireland.

The preacher's wife! that should have been.

It is so funny, the difference in crowd noise.

It was even evident in the Thiem match, which got him really riled. I suppose he expects it when playing Fed, or Rafa, but was not impressed to be the least popular when playing Thiem (because no-one has heard of him, have they?

I think we all might as well be watching a programme about Sainsbury’s Jane

Jane you're not missing much. Well you could be - I wouldn't know tbh as I'm not really watching.

We have Sainsbury's right by school so I'm never out of there - I don't even like it much

Raahh it had never occurred to me The Preacher's Wife was a remake - I've never seen it tbh but I know of it, if you know what I mean. Yes Denzel is fine and all but why mess with perfection?!

Or should that be peRFection

Jane that is funny!

I like Sainsbury's for some things, the kids clothes are good. Can't afford to do my weekly food shop their, but our local one has a lovely cafe, which is very reasonable.

I spent more time in it, when I worked in the JL attached.

Don't let him back in the match, Fed, we need you to win.

For Rafa's sake!

Yes that absolute nobody Dominic Thiem! Who's only been in the top 10 for 4 years and 2 GS finals - but who's actually heard of him?!?

Spidey

I hope Fed hasn't had t-shirts printed. If he wins this year , will it be 7 times. They have barely mentioned it

Now they are making excuses for Djok, and saying his elbow is playing up.

Raahh yes the clothes are good - the one by us is just a "local" one though so it doesn't have them.

Thiem has been our tip for big things for years. He is getting there. The younger ones are snapping at his heels, but I think next year could be his year, definitely on clay. Not that I want Rafa beaten, at all.
