TENNIS THREAD- Australian Open continues- we're ready for the popcorn matches!

[Raahh]

I am not going to get chance to watch much more of this so this was a bit of a quick one...

There are some very annoying people in this stadium.

VAMOS
come on!

And two of them are commentating on the match.

Right come on Rafa!

It's all looking a bit bleak now.

Do you know, I think I'm having a better time reading the BBC scripts & then you lot!!

Why bother to watch matches?

It's way too stressful , watching, Magi I've decided .

And even if Rafa loses, there's the trauma of not wanting other people to win (i.e Djok).

Domi's challenge face is so cute.

Dom will be serving for the match- Rafa really needs some luck.

That man looked like he's bet his house on Rafa!

Right, I am now getting sick of the Barclaycard money advert.

It's not as annoying as the Peloton advert, but it's on 500 times an hour.

slight exaggeration

Jane

VAMOS

my heart is going like the clappers.

This is not good for my nerves

Vamos!

I'm shaking!

Where's the dog?!

Vamos!

Rafa is a fighter. Thiem will have his work cut out closing this match out.

Phew, we need a break now....
If Rafa wins this set somehow I'm going to have to move, make the bread and pudding or there'll be no food later.

I never count him out- all the years of watching him- after watching the US open and his houdini act against Medvedev at the ATP finals, in particular.

But I bloody wish he wouldn't do it .

Oh no, not a tie break.

Rafa's serve is not up to a tie break.

Stress!
