Or just more wheelie bin challenges?

Rublev has neon yellow sweat bands. Very distracting when he serves.

Dan Evans's Tesco own brand navy t-shirt is quite refreshing!

I wonder if being dragged to tennis matches was partly to blame for the breakdown of Gwen Stefani/Gavin Rossdale’s marriage? She did look very bored.

I also just heard that Djok has pulled out of the doubles - who cares?

Raahh · 23/08/2020 18:35

Fizzy I was glad that they mentioned the disappointment to Novak's doubles partner- a lucky loser pair will take their place, and Krajinovic (I think it was him) will miss out on playing. At this very late stage, that's a bit unfair to him.

he has a neck issue, apparently. Can't help but feel sceptical about everything Djok does these days, and question his motives.

YY Dan's shirt is quite a nice change- still doesn't appear ro have a sponsor, though his coach was sitting with 'Adidas' emblazoned on his topGrin.

Raahh yes I was thinking that must be disappointing for Djok’s doubles partner

kazzaD66 · 23/08/2020 18:47

Afternoon all!

Dan has the best kit I've seen this tournament thus far. There's a lot to be said for plain and simple (always been my strong points Grin)
Especially given the bloody awful Nike kits and Diego's explosion in a paint factory monstrosity Hmm

kazzaD66 · 23/08/2020 18:49

C'mon Dan!
How many break points has he had in this game?

kazzaD66 · 23/08/2020 18:56

I'm liking the sound of an Arthur Ashe suite. Lucky Dan! Does that mean Andy doesn't have one Grin

kazzaD66 · 23/08/2020 19:01

Rublev has incredibly hairy legs Grin

Raahh · 23/08/2020 19:04

These first few games have taken ages . Kazza yes, Dan has gone for classic- there is embroidery on the shirt, but can't make it out. Might just say 'Florence and Fred'. Grin

Rublev has a bag of ice on his head now- and the AC unit blowing his legs. Poor bloke. Grin

I wonder how much they charge for a suite on Arthur Ashe normally?

Rublev has a bag of ice on his head and is using the AC hose as a hairdryer Grin. He looks a bit like I did after swimming my first three lengths at the pool after a 6 month break!

What’s the Arthur Ashe suite kazza? Apparently they’ve got crazy golf at the players hotel (Djok doesn’t know what he’s missing!) I’m really rubbish at crazy golf!

Fizzywinegum · 23/08/2020 19:08

‘Florence & Fred’ Grin

Raahh · 23/08/2020 19:09

Fizzy some of the camera shots yesterday, you could see the crazy golf! It looked great. There was pool table hole, and a mini tennis court, from what I saw.

I really want to take DD2 to the crazy golf course at the Trafford Centre. Mainly because there are^dinosaurs' not real ones. Dinosaurs have taken over from unicorns/llama/sloths (delete as applicable) as her 'latest fad'.

I don't mind, I like dinosaurs. Rubbish at crazy golf though. Used to play on a course outside Blackpool pleasure beach when I was little Grin.

fizzy apparently, the US Open seeds have all been put up in A A suites, rather than a bog standard room! As Dan is seeded, he's already in one.

Raahh · 23/08/2020 19:16

The Arthur Ashe suites appear to be the equivalent of 'boxes' that you get at football stadiums- so like sitting in a 'box' at the theatre, with all your mates, and probably loads of food thrown in. They range in price - I have googled- from $15- $100,000 a session. Not sure what constitutes a session. Might be just a match?

I have just seen- food is not included in that Shock. 'Expect to budget between $2-6,000 for catering'.

Wowsers. Bet they are losing a fortune if they didn't take out Tiger Tim's Pandemic insurance.

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 23/08/2020 19:21

Shock I wondered if Tim was there to give them financial advice and sell them an insurance policy Grin

Can’t imagine Dan spending that much on catering - Tesco value all the way!

Raahh · 23/08/2020 19:22

Oh definitely a meal deal for Dan.

Grigor's match is about to start.

His shirt does not disappoint in it's hideousness Grin.

kazzaD66 · 23/08/2020 19:42

Wow! Well googled Raahh Grin

God, that was a long set!

Well done Dan, but he should have wrapped it up a lot earlier.

Raahh · 23/08/2020 19:42

His blue/purple shorts, have a bright pink version of the ink splodge.

That and having it off with the nanny!

Allegedly.
