Tennis - So long New York, Ciao Roma

Private that dream

I need to go and look at the Djok thread.

Some people on that thread are saying that Djok looks like Bert from Sesame Street

I'm scared I'll have a muppet/tennis nightmare tonight

Jane

That is so unfair to Bert

Poor Bert, as if he doesn't have enough to put up with dealing with Ernie.

Wonder how Bertens' injury is today.

at Bert.

Well the Halep match didn't last long and Stan's rained off

Suppose I could tidy up around here. Or maybe not

I got bakc from my mum's ready to carry on watching Stan- to discover it was rained off. Very disappointed. We had been discussing how much smarter he is looking at the moment.

Oh dear Garcia

Nerves got to her then.

The hawkeye chat is becoming the new obsession.

It's lovely to hear the crowd although Mertens may disagree.

Jane yes, for once, Mertens might be wishing the place was still empty .

Garcia is struggling. And then its amazing shots.

Pleased for Garcia - what a shoddy match from her but she kept fighting and got there in the end.

Yes me too Majestic.

It was great hearing the crowd support.

Omg Stan! Come on!

Oh heck- what is happening with Stan??

x post

oops.

I know, I hope he doesn't lose!! I really want to see him play Thiem.

Me too Spidey - come on Stan!

I was also pleased when Garcia finally won - someone phoned me up when she finally served for the match and won so I missed it

Seems to be going better for Stan, fingers crossed.

I don't mind if this turns into a boring, easy match.

Stressful Nadal matches can wait to the latter stages.

I'm watching Stan on Eurosport 2. He was a break up but Gaston has just broken back.

I've just seen tat.

Come on Stan!

(I tried to explain the bear thing to my mother. I think she thought I had lost the plot).
