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...

If they both win private they could both play Djok, then he might lose

DH was with me when I was watching fast forwarding the BBC highlights and muttering about slagging off Djok and AC.
He asked......so, on mumsnet, if Nick and Djok are known as Dick and Cock, what do you call Andrew Castle?

Me......lots of things, mainly four letter words, but let's settle on the butterfly fancier for now.

DH.....why is he called the butterfly fancier?

Me......it's not important.

The fecker would probably still win!

kazza the butterfly fancier
Hahaha! My DH is always asking me "what's so funny about tennis?" whenever I'm on here. It's just too hard to explain

Jane he probably would. The only way he'd lose would possibly be in a "winner stays on" type situation, bringing all other top 10 players on against him, and see how he would get on!

Yes the fecker would still probably win

DH is completely unaware that he is known as His Lordship on this thread although he sometimes asks me why I’m laughing so much when looking at my phone - as Spidey says it’s just too hard to explain

I think tomorrow’s semi will be a hard fought match with Thiem just edging it but yes Djok will be having a nice time relaxing for a few days.

Crikey! The women's doubles final looked a bit one sided, if the score is anything to go by.

I see Jamie and BMS are through to the final.

Yes, the doubles did look a bit like a walkover. Is Mladenovic still with Dom? I can't remember if I read they split at the end of last year.

I dreamt that Thiem won it in 4 sets. But really it's all about who stands the best chance against Djok.

Maybe he will have contact lense trouble again? (we can hope).

Aargh Frew again!

I will get to watch once I have dropped off dd2. I'm not sure I can cope with 4 hours of Frew. So whever wins, let it be quickish!

Why did Sascha choose to receive?

Good choice Sascha!

he knew what he was doing

Or did he?!

Right, I'm going to get a new thread ready as we're getting near the end of this one.

I hate how Frew pronounces Zverev with an F at the end.

Why didn't they close it in the first place.

Here come all Sascha's towels to be washed

Have had to go into the kitchen and on R5 Pat Cash is talking about his back surgery, then they moved on to the bracelets Domi wears being made of recycled plastic.

They're as bad as AC!

Sascha scares me with those low returns!

I missed the laundry run.

More

They're usually much better than this!

Come on Sascha!

Just got back.

Doesn't sound like this is very exciting then?

I will be a bit cross in a way, if, after ousting Rafa, Dom doesn't put in an effort. But isn't that usually the way in slams when players beat him (other than Djok or Fed)- they usually lose next round!

But-I do want Sascha to win, slightly more than Dom (sorry Dom- you can have RG- after Rafa retires).

Hmm. Wasn't really expecting that.
