Tennis - So long New York, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

Yes you're right Raahh what was I thinking?!

I'm listening on the radio now but they're covering the Konta match - but it doesn't look like there's much time left in the Murray match anyway at this stage?....

If Rafa is still wearing his bee outfit he might have some yellow and black stripy arms and a stripy bobble hat (I’m getting Tales of the unexpected flashbacks )

Not looking good for Andy . Coco Gauff just got the first set against Konta

I'm not sad to see Stan win, really.

Well done .

Fizzy Tales of the Unexpected

I think unless it has changed, Rafa is wearing blue/turquoise.

And not sleeveless. But that would be chilly.

Against anyone else, I'd want Stan to win but I did want Andy to come through, even though I knew it wouldn't happen.

Konta, on the other hand......
I certainly don't want to see her clashing outfit again

But a stripy bobble hat would be great.

And a big fisherman's jumper.

(Ok, maybe not).

kazza It's not a great look, is it? I mean, it comes to something when 2 of the most stylish players of the day have been Stan and Dan.

I’m getting Tales of the unexpected flashbacks

Saw about five minutes of that. I'm happy for Stan and sorry for Andy. It was unfortunate that they had to meet so early.

And a pipe, singing a salty sea shanty Raahh

Did you see Kontaveit? I found her outfit a bit strange. She looked kind of Dutch. It was very 60s/70s- I think it was the tank top thing she had going on.

Kazza - a Rafa-ish sea shanty.

Of life aboard a multi million pound yacht .

It was kind of strange with the lopsided skirt but I liked it and Garcia looked like she had put on every layer she could find

I like our parallel tennis universe.

It seems like a really happy place .

Yes, Rafa is more used to fishing off a huge yacht in the Med, rather than a trawler in the North Sea

Jane yes, Garcia looked frozen. .

Konta's skirt is very Tudor

Yes Jane!

The crowd have all gone home it seems.

I need to see this. I usually like Jo's outfits - her US Open kit was lovely.

And so was the ric-rac dress she had at RG last year.

Diminutive Diego is not hanging about- he's 5-0 up in the first set of his match. Which means the ball/conditions don't bother him. Which is bad news for Rafa.

She's all layered up Private so not looking very stylish today.

Private I think the issue is she is wearing a tracksuit top , I think, in a totally contrasting colour. The skirt might be the same one she wore in the US open- Navy/light blue. But the top is green and black, and it doesn't go.

Yes the cold weather isn't great for stylish tennis looks is it?! Sadly.

Coco has managed to look good.

Usually it's Serena making the major fashion faux pas-( and she has designed those herself)- but there is still time to see what she comes up with. She had the 'rain coat' thing in New York. Maybe she will have a big winter coat for Paris?
