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

Roger won't be happy.

Grin come on Milkman - I’ve finally succumbed to the cold lurgy so am still in bed Blush. Which means that I can watch tennis if I can summon up enough energy to go downstairs - can’t believe they took the Stef match off for skiing!

I’ve got lots to catch up on!

PrivateSpidey · 24/01/2020 10:27

Oh no, sorry to hear that Fizzy. Yes you'd better recuperate on the couch watching tennis!

Raahh · 24/01/2020 10:27

Fognini is in action- about to go 2 sets up.

Shall we place bets on whether he holds that lead, or squanders it, and is still playing at lunch time? Grin

Grin I don't know if Fabio can take any more five setters! Mind you, Pella's not averse to them is he?! Will be interesting to see how that pans out!

Fizzywinegum · 24/01/2020 10:34

Thanks Spidey I’ve made it downstairs now! I was thinking that about Foggy - it will probably end in a fifth set tie break fours hours later!

PrivateSpidey · 24/01/2020 10:42

Frew's commentating on the Stef match as well?! Confused Where's Jo?

Fizzywinegum · 24/01/2020 10:43

Not looking good for Stef Sad

Fizzywinegum · 24/01/2020 10:44

Yes Raonic’s shorts are too short for his legs!

Raahh · 24/01/2020 10:47

So Raonic is through- I tell you- it's the curse of the ATP finals Grin.

Raahh · 24/01/2020 10:48

(For Stef, that is)Grin

Private Jo was definitely there, with her dubious pronunciation of Raonic Grin.

Oh no poor Stephanos 😢
Great win for Gauff though I felt sorry for Naomi who was gracious in her interview.
Milkman has made a good start here....,

Raahh · 24/01/2020 10:52

Ooh, this is looking interesting.

The crowd is conflictedGrin.

PrivateSpidey · 24/01/2020 10:56

I do feel for Tsitsipas as well, but I'm pleased for Raonic after all his injuries etc.

I thought Frew had sidelined Jo but obviously not! I love Jo, she's a good commentator and seems like such a nice person. Also she replied to one of my tweets once Grin

Raahh · 24/01/2020 10:58

He is a good player Milos, and was on course to do great things when injuries took hold at the start of 2017, so I would like him to have a good year.

Not sure what is happening here.

OP posts:
Raahh · 24/01/2020 10:59

I think Foggy might be in luck today- he could go through in 3 Grin

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 24/01/2020 11:03

Fame indeed Spidey Grin

I’m pleased for Milos - he has had a tough few years but I also like Stef.

Come on Milkman!

I’m not a Frew fan - he’s been on the go for years and never has anything interesting to say

Raahh · 24/01/2020 11:05

Fizzy he gets on my nerves, is obviously very much a Fed fan, which is why they keep him around, I think (and why I don't like him commentating on Nadal matches, yesterday was really annoying), and he can be very dull.

OP posts:
Raahh · 24/01/2020 11:07

oof.

I hate tie breaks.

OP posts:
Raahh · 24/01/2020 11:11

Foggy is through, anyway.

He will be relieved. Grin

OP posts:
PrivateSpidey · 24/01/2020 11:17

Fognini plays Sandgren next. What a combo. But I hope Fabio wins it.

Fed played a great tiebreak there, I must say. Milkman is still in this though.

Raahh · 24/01/2020 11:23

I think Fabio has a great chance to well there really, although Sandgren only ever seems to do well in Slams!

Millman is definitely still in this.

OP posts:
PrivateSpidey · 24/01/2020 11:40

Sandgren is one of those players who annoys me when I think eg Tsitsipas is out, yet somehow Sandgren is still in?! Confused I mean, he's every right to be there I suppose, but still Hmm

PrivateSpidey · 24/01/2020 11:44

What a pass from Milkman Shock
