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...

Roger was pretty good magi - he even said so himself . He seemed a lot sharper than I’ve see him recently and Djok just seemed to give in to him - not sure if it’s because the crowd were so against him but he’s probably used to that now.

Thank you all.

I am delighted - I hope cock Djock does not recover from this defeat in a hurry!

But we established I'm the only person who likes Love Actually, and Jane watched a documentary on Sainsbury's and learnt lots of useful stuff.

All in all, a good night's work.

It was .

And now I'm catching up with Holby- because I am awake, and the tennis didn't last as long as I expected.

And I had an educational evening watching a documentary about the Milau Bridge.

(Which I have visited & crossed & is amazing)

I am delighted - I hope cock Djock does not recover from this defeat in a hurry!

I've googled that bridge and it looks scary!

I get recurring nightmares about a local bridge.Have done since I was a kid. It's even that high, but it scares me every time we go over it. .

I'm a wuss.

Half of Love, Actually is good, half not so.
I love Colin Firth and his character with his eventual fiancee and I love Alan Rickman.

I don't like Martine McCutcheon's character and the bit at the concert where her and the PM are caught kissing is excruciating.
Keira Knightley can be fine one minute and not so great the next

Before I saw the end of the tennis, I was watching back something I recorded on the new Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier. Don't know if anyone else saw it but that was interesting.

My DH was watching something on the aircraft carrier recently - he loves anything like that. I told him about your bridge programme as well magi

I am a bit scared of bridges as well, I blame the Ladybird version of Three Billy Goats Gruff!!

Love this

Jane omg that is too funny

Rafa saying Marylebone is sending me, as I believe the kids say these days

That was funny. Stef was getting quite frutrated

Ahh Rafa.

I've rashly arranged to do something this afternoon - I thought Rafa was playing this evening. What was i thinking?! Will be checking the scores. Hope he wins. Come on Rafa!!

That video.
Did Rafa get any right
Hope his tennis is better than his pronunciation this afternoon

Afternoon!

I need to go out soon.

Rafa was so lovely to the lad who walked out with him- Stef looked murderous!

kazza It is usually a given that Rafa's tennis is better than his pronunciation.

But I love Rafa-ish. It makes me laugh.

AC is so dim. They can only meet in the semi final, how does he not know that??

Even I knew that.

2 double faults already isn't good.

VAMOS you need to win this!

AC is still wittering about the groupings.

Rafa and Fed can only meet in the semi. Get over it.

Just realised - Djok wasn't in that video, was he?
Did he not want to play the game or was he not asked to play with the boys

I noticed that kazza

Oh, good AC has reminded us that Rafa got married.

He's probably forgotten.

I'm a bit nervous about this game and almost glad I have to go on the school run soon.

Bingo! AC get's in the Murray mention for the day.

He does earn his money, .
