I'm just glad that we were spared the Kyrgios match in 2014 as a 4th round match. Which is a surprise- given how much they love him at the Beeb. He hasn't had a mention.

Football here too. I'll watch later.

Raahh · 08/07/2020 20:11

Swiss youngster? He really doesn't look that young.

Not compared to Tim, who looks baby faced.

Raahh · 08/07/2020 20:14

Wow, that's some hat on Tim's mum.

He was already perfecting the miserable losing face, Fed.

I can't help not being a Fed fan.

It must be very hard for the wheelchair competitors, there can't be that many major tournaments for them to go to- and financially it must be very stressful.

Rafa and Delpo.

It's amazing that Delpo was seeded 5 at the tournament that year too. Such a bloody awful shame that he ended up injured again.

I had forgotten how long this match was. Is was so good- I don't remember it feeling long at all.

It will go wrong Grin.

He is very tanned.

I love Rafa. I do hope he plays this year, wherever.

Given Sue's comments regarding the Adria tour last week, I can't imagine a zoom call is lined up with Novak this week.

Grin.

I didn't realise that Borg never played in Australia.

OP posts:
Raahh · 08/07/2020 20:48

Agassi- he's the other future champion in Sue's quiz question - just remembered Stich won in 91, so he is a former champion. Agassi won in 92.

I’ll join you Raahh Grin Rafa did look very tanned - he’s so sweet - yes I was worried about the technology as well. After being banished to the kitchen DH then decided to stack the dishwasher etc (noisily!) during Rafa’s interview - grrr!

I keep getting adverts for Family & Divorce Law Specialists Hmm

The wig! Grin

Loved the hug between Rafa and Delpo at the end of their match

Raahh · 08/07/2020 20:54

Pat Cash ! I think he played in 92.

I will stop now.

I'm surprised I'm not getting ads for Divorce lawyers- dh wfh is going on for far too long (and no end in sight).

Although Australia is a Grand Slam quite a lot of players didn’t go back in the day Raahh - I wonder if it was because it was probably more difficult to get there then?

I think it’s only relatively recently that it’s been seen on the same level as the other GSs

Raahh · 08/07/2020 20:56

It was sad that Andre didn't enjoy playing (I read his book) Grin

OP posts:
Raahh · 08/07/2020 20:58

I missed Goran!

Got everyone else though.

OP posts:
Raahh · 08/07/2020 20:59

I am sad that Rafa didn't do a wheelie bin challenge.

How is Tim still top??

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2020 21:00

Yes well done Raahh - I’d want you on my quiz team Grin

Raahh · 08/07/2020 21:00

The best bit of this non Wimbledon , is that they do at least play the proper theme tune. Grin.
