Tennis - It's ugly trophy time

[JaneJeffer]

Sorry!

Ooh that sounds nice Fizzy - hope you're having a nice time. It's a bit of an up and down match, although they've both hit some brilliant shots.

Thiem has just sneaked the first set on a tiebreak.

Thanks Spidey - I just watched the breaker

FAA is one of the few players that looks good in the bright kit

The ATP posted a "who wore it best" and Felix was definitely the winner. Although it looks quite good on Big Foe too.

Yes I agree with that - Big Foe looked good as well

Not sure who is commentating with Tim but he keeps calling him Henners!

Forgot to say that AC was on Radio 5 earlier talking about Djok - he was pretty scathing about him especially the Adria tour - the interviewer had to intervene and say that Djok wasn’t there to defend himself!

Is it Petch? He sounds different

Or is it Nick Mullins?
But then again, sometimes he does sound like Petch

I really don't like Dom's shorts.
His hair is a bit daft aswell.
He always seemed like a sensible, quiet chap when he was younger.
I think he's either rebelling against that or having a very early mid life crisis

It's Nick Lester. I only know that because it showed him and Tim beforehand. Sorry Henners I mean.

Well poor old Felix. Thiem just ran away with it after the first set.

Thanks for the update on AC Fizzy!

Hhmm, those two sets went quickly.

And Pironkova is through aswell.

Pironkova - what a story. Her first tournament in three years?!

Ah, thanks private
Mystery solved.

I was thinking mid life crisis kazza but he is only 27 . Maybe it’s a sort of quarter life crisis!

Anyway he was too strong for Felix tonight

And she's a mother

Well, it's certainly not hair highlighting Dom

I failed to watch much of anything last night, just didn't have the energy. Feel a bit better today. Poor Felix, one match too far, but to be fair Dom has been looking great- and going back to an earlier conversation- I thought he might even be the oldest one left in the draw (at the grand age of 27) but Carreno Busta is older .

A comprehensive win for Medvedvev, so things are shaping up to be quite interesting now.

I like Pironkova- so now there a 3 mothers in the QFs. . I'm really pleased to see Azarenka having a good run.

Yes the mothers are taking over Raahh!

I watched a bit of Rublev v Berrettini last night, but still haven't seen any of Medvedev. Yes PCB is the oldest left in the men's - I never did find out the answer to that question earlier, but I presume it was Djok.

I was just reading about Ash Barty not travelling to RG.

Oh no- a big shame about Ash. I mean, I can understand it, but a big loss to RG, still.

Rafa's looking good

I'm loving the knitwear. He looks very relaxed.

Very nice picture of Rafa. He does look relaxed.

Do we get a re-count in the most fashionable poll? .Surely now Djok should have that title removed .

Waves to all. Am sort of following the tennis. DH is moving to a rehab unit today where he will have a lot of work done on him regaining enough mobility to come home. Possibly 2 weeks. Sadly visiting is not allowed, but I can drop him off stuff & it is only 10 mins fromhome. The relief of not having to do a round trip of 60 miles every day is great - wile roads & was taking at least an hour each way. He will also have his own room & he is thrilled about that. I am goingto take the time to have abit of a rest - am berluddy knackered.

Vile roada.

Vile roads.

Must proof read my posts!

I'm not surprised you're knackered magi. It's very stressful for you

Magi

It makes a big difference when the hospital is nearer, I struggled a lot last year when ds ended up in a hospital 50+ miles away. The visiting was restricted, and we barely saw him.

Anyway -you get lots of rest.

oh, just seen the end of the Putintseva/Brady match, Brady has won.

It could be an all American semi final, if Shelby Rogers beats Osaka.
