Pity about Angie Sad

Well done to Sascha- a very tidy match.

Raahh · 06/09/2020 19:46

I have headed over to the Putintseva match.

I have noticed over the past week that they are very fond of Michael Jackson at the Open.

There is a lot of bitterness on French coverage about the handling of the situation with the Paire 11. Apparently after his positive test, he tested negative again on Monday... so it seems possible that it was in fact a false positive. The French federation are pissed that Mladenovic and Babos got booted out of the tournament whilst Mannarino was allowed to play - seemingly because Adrian was fortunate enough to be in the court vicinity at the moment of the changed guidance coming through, while Kiki was not. Mladenovic is understandably frustrated, as she had been playing all week and has been tested each day... It really seems that it has not been handled too well and I hope that nothing similar happens at RG!

JaneJeffer · 06/09/2020 20:53

Sounds like a shambles Jourdain. I don't blame them for being pissed off.

Hurry up prime stupid low bandwidth Shock

Jourdain11 · 06/09/2020 21:15

Hit a ball at the linesjudge in a temper

Jourdain11 · 06/09/2020 21:17

He was arguing for ages, but it seems like there was no alternative decision!

JaneJeffer · 06/09/2020 21:20

Shock I hope the linesperson is ok.

Just listening to Tim's take on it...

OMG I’ve just been woken up from my tennis torpor Shock

Poor Tim is still having to relive his own disqualification (again!)

PrivateSpidey · 06/09/2020 21:36

Catherine said sorry to ask him about it on his birthday!

This is unbelievable.

Did you hear him arguing? "This is my career, my centre stage - she didn't have to go to hospital" Shock

magimedi · 06/09/2020 21:42

HOORAY!

Off you fock, Djock! Bereluddy karma for him!

Best news I've had for ages - apart from the fact that DH is now medically OK & we are just waiting on the physios to get him to a rehab unit for a week or so before he gets home.

All of that AND Hamiltonn ot winning the Italian GP have made my day

JaneJeffer · 06/09/2020 21:45

Grin magi glad your DH is on the mend

hamilton not - fat fingers yet again!

PrivateSpidey · 06/09/2020 21:47

Oh blimey. I was watching Kvitova and then I saw your post Jourdain and it took me forever to change to the main coverage!! So I missed the whole on court debate.

Jourdain11 · 06/09/2020 21:48

I mean, at least there's an actual point in having the men's tournament now, because we don't know now who is going to win.

I think Thiem or Zverev, but Medvedev could pull out the stops.

Jourdain11 · 06/09/2020 21:50

I was watching Kvitova also, but I switched across just momentarily and the whole debate was happening. I was expecting to see Djokovic already a set up and - no!

Leon Smith's take on it:

GB Davis Cup captain on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

It's a habit. He did it five minutes beforehand, with much more venom, and he was just lucky it hit the advertising ball. It could have hit one of the ball kids."

Fizzywinegum · 06/09/2020 21:50

I didn’t hear him arguing Jourdain but I can imagine. Greg said that the only way to deal with this is for Djok to admit that he was wrong and apologise for his actions - he’s not really known for apologising and admitting he’s wrong though is he? Hmm

Good to hear from you magi - glad that DH is on the mend
