Tennis - It's ugly trophy time

[JaneJeffer]

Sorry!

Fizzy Milos' shorts are definitely too short.

ooh- Pospisil is on the floor, with trainer out.

They appear to be covering Vasek in lard,

It probably isn't lard.

Scandinavian derby

It’s really annoying Spidey that you have to come out of one match and then go into another one on Prime just to check the score - I like your idea of there being a summary of the score on each match so that I don’t have to bother clicking into each one

Cilic is also 2-1 up against Norbert Gombos (I know there’s a Scooby Doo link there somewhere). I hope that Marin does well this tournament

Hope that the back to school goes OK Raahh - it still seems a bit strange going back on a Friday

Fizzy I saw Norbert, and thought Scooby Doo, too.

I think it's Norville

And I had to set my alarm on my phone for the first time in 6 months!

Even though I barely sleep, and am usually awake. You can guarantee tomorrow I would not wake up!

I have just had a look around the matches.

Grigor looks colourful.

Nike really should not let Agassi near the next kit.

Oh yes Grigor does look very bright - the Agassi kit is a bit of an abomination!

It's...awful different, certainly.

I just checked in on the Cilic match- mainly because Norbert Gombos is my new favourite tennis name.

He really does not look like a Norbert. Norberts are retired, and mooch around greasy spoon cafes. This Norbert is quite good looking. .

you seem like you've put a lot of thought into this Raahh

Milkman and Tiafoe are into a first set "breaker".

Tiafoe won the tiebreak - close one though.

I imagine someone called Norbert wearing a cravat for some reason

Konta is out

Just saw that fizzy
Can't say I'm that bothered. I may even have been willing her opponent on

Still, next up on court, top player Dan Evans

(Really weird, but true. I typed in 'top player' and 'Dan Evans' automatically comes up after as predictive text

Spooky kazza

Oh, dear God!
No wonder Dan is a break down. He's probably blinded my Moutet's outfit!
Where are my sunglasses

So Raonic is out eh? That's a bit of a turn up. Wish he hadn't lost tbh, was hoping he'd do well this fortnight.

I switched from Millman to Grigor for a bit. A v entertaining match. Somehow Dimitrov lost the second set after serving for it twice. Might hop back to see more of Millman-Tiafoe now. Although you can actually see that match in the background of this one

@Raahh

I'm almost the same age as Aranxta Sanchez- her birthday is 12 days before mine .

I am of Matina vintage!!

MaRtina, that is. Tired fat fingers!

That’s a shame about Milos - I thought he would do well after his good run last week

Did anyone see Jeffrey Wolf? He has very 80s bouffant hair and was strutting about the court topless when he won? it must be catching on the top less thing!

Hello magi - hope you and DH are OK

That's a fine vintage magi

I haven't seen Jeffrey Wolf but will look out for him!

Milkman and Tiafoe are into a fifth - it's really good... but I should probably go to bed. If I watch the end of this I'll end up staying up for Murray v FAA...

Hope you're ok magi

I ended up falling asleep, mid match, the lack of sleep from the night before caught up with me. Very that Raonic lost, I really thought it could be his year to go quite far.

Needless to say, I was awake from 1.30 (when dh woke me up), and have barely slept since, worrying about how today will go. Will be glad when they have gone back.

I see Cilic beat my new mate Norbert .

And Murray lost. I'm not surprised by that. Felix AA is one of the new stars of the game- and much younger. Murray really had to fight back in the first round, against a competent, but not top class, player- and I think 5 sets was too much.

And Top Player Dan Evans might get lucky after the rain delay to his match.
I think Moutet is wearing the same combination as Khachanov, isn't he? The bright yellow shorts?

In the meantime, Medvedev and Tsitsipas are quietly going through with straightforward wins. I'd be happy to see either take the title instead of Djok.

Or anyone. Anyone at all. even Top Player Dan Evans.
