Tennis thread: Australian Open finals and beyond!

[PrivateSpidey]

All tennis chat welcome here

Sascha is getting the crowd involved, that is good to see.

Be interesting to see the crowd support on Sunday. There are a lot of Serbs there- it has felt like rentacrowd at times, since the ATP Cup- but I don't think it will be as one sided as when Fed plays, for example.

Yes. You think they'd go for the underdog, but you never know.

This match is totally unpredictable isn't it now. Sascha needs those serves back from the 1st set.

It really is a match I can't call at the moment.

Either way, they don't want this to go on til 1pm.

They are fit enough, but mentally it won't be great.

Ooh, what's happening here?

Lights have gone out?

This isn't good.

They need a man with a ladder and a replacement bulb

This is very embarrassing for them- but how long can they delay for?

What a joke

Got a bit of Neil Diamond going on in the back ground.

This is the opportunity to play lots of 'light' related songs .

They'd have fixed it by now, if it was yesterday. Wouldn't want Fed standing around twiddling his thumbs.

Well, he could have gone off for a massage, I guess.

Crowd are singing now

I took the dog out for a game of fetch and when I got back I couldn't understand how they had only played one game

They'd never let that happen at Wimbledon.

Tim would be sorting it out pronto

I heard Sweet Caroline as well Raahh

Yep the DJ missed a trick not playing any light-related songs. Amateurs!

Jane
I have a dog who does not understand fetch. He keeps the ball, then looks at me, as though I should get it off him.
Sascha has stalled here now.

Checking in.

Oh, Tim would be there, hard hat and a spanner.

Might not need the spanner, but take it anyway.

Oh dear. Did the pause bother Sascha? Dom was quite relaxed whist they were stood around, Sascha more animated about it.

Morning magi

It's all going on here.

My old dog would just give me a "fetch it yourself" look.

I'm trying to think of light related songs but all I can come up with is Shine on you Crazy Diamond!

Morning magi

There is a light that never goes out?!

Might not exactly lighten the mood

Yes they are writing Sascha off again which means he'll come back now.

Jane All I can come up with so far is 'Light my fire' by the Door, and 'lights' by Ellie Goulding.

I feel like there should be loads!

Private

Jane writing players off is their commentary style.

That's my favourite love song Raahh "to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die"
