Tennis - So long New York, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

Ooh - would love to see Rublev as a contender for RG! He's in a good bit of the draw. Did you see his celebration after the Querrey match - bless him.

Stef looks like he has perked up a lot but this could probably still go either way...

I love the sound of the giant blue dinosaur toy - sounds like something Stan would approve of!

The dinosaur is amazing. It is HUGE.

I think my mother grew quite attached. I might have to get her one for Christmas.

Rublev has been slowly improving again (he was always good, but got injured). I think it would be great if he pushed for the top spot. The Russians have been slowly taking over a bit.

I do feel for Medvedev though- he skipped the US because he felt it wasn't safe to travel, missed out on the hard court matches he would have stood a better chance at. And then lost early at RG.

Oh dear God!
Just put Stefanos on and already I want to shoot Courier
Maybe this is why I haven't watched any tennis since Sunday

Loving some of the non-tennis chat today

Best wishes to you and your DD Raahh
Plus the Jurassic Park gang at Chez Raahh

I see the Brits have finally started to win
Murray and Skupski, plus Norrie all winning in the doubles limply waves a Union Jack

Ooh, has Stefanos finally woken up?

Thanks Kazza . I am worried- mainly because the current situation is making the whole thing a bit faffy- but I will be glad to get her sorted. She needs it.

Jurassic Park is one of our favourite films. We watch it a lot. It's a good thing I never really grew out of my own dinosaur obsession (age 6).

Well, I have promised I will watch Bake Off.

So Stef is on his own now.

Stef has just won Raahh
Enjoy GBBO

oh good- wel done Stef.

Have to better than that to beat Djok.

Sorry! Who on earth is the woman voicing the Viking River Cruise advert? Is she for real or taking the mickey?! Her voice and enunciation are completely OTT

Oh, I remember that advert.

It's really bad.

It really sounds like a p* taking comedy sketch. I almost choked on my coffee mid gulp

I didn't recognise Gilles Simon without his beard!

Viking River Cruise (which incidentally, my phone predicted immediately ) ads are always on during Midsomer Murders, but I've never noticed the voice before - will listen out for it

Private Peter Davison is on BBC1 at 9. New series with Alison Steadman.

oof. DD1 is out of isolation and back to school tomorrow.

Honestly, all this is not helping anyone get into a routine. They nearly sent all the year 8s home today, because the were told (wrongly) that one had a positive test.

I think I will stick to watching tennis players in dubious outfits. Less stressful.

The Viking cruises woman sounds almost orgasmic about the culture and the food - are people even allowed to go on cruises these days?

Luckily Stef finished just as GBBO was about to start - I think he had a bit of a lucky escape and felt a bit sorry for Munar

On another thread someone said that Dave from GBBO looked like Tim Henman - he’s does a bit. I’m not too keen on him (Dave not Tim)

The blue dinosaur sounds good Raahh

Thanks Jane

I can always rely on you for PD updates

I've only just seen your post so will catch it on iPlayer.

Ooh Serena pulled out!

Jane I was just coming on to say that !

It looks like I might have to go out, so I could some of Rafa's match.

I wanted them to show the Stan match

On the Serena subject though (not that I expected her to win RG to be honest)- it will drag out the '24 Slams' conversation for even longer.

As Elsa says. Let it go.

.

"I had her on the grass at Eastbourne" tell us more Sam.

I've discovered Eurosport2 are showing the Stan match . Which is nice. He is a set up.

Jane

Ooh why has serena pulled out? Does that mean Rafa is on next? I’m working from home today so might be able to see some of his match

They mentioned her achilles (I think).

I think he's on next Fizzy

Stan is playing really well.
