Tennis - So long New York, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

Chicken is having a Boris moment.

Must be Tsonga? the other one who beat Stan?

No idea what the connection with Gaston tough.

Apart from them both being French .

I think it's Gasquet but I don't have a clue what the answer is.

I am pretty sure the only other French player to beat Stan was Jo-Willy (2012-ish?) But I am baffled as to what other connection Gaston and him have got.

Unless there is a Disney character called Jo -Willy that I am not familiar with.

I remember John doing a quiz like this about two players before and the answer was something to do with military service so it could be anything

military service

It will be something very tenuous.

Well done Sascha

Ah for feck sake

Oh FFS Gaston AND Tsonga.

Anagrams.

I hate Inverdale.

I mean , there is tenuous, and

that.

Seb Korda really does look like his dad. And not in a good way, given that Petr was a bit odd looking. It's the thin nose.

He is the same build.

Oh dear, Norbert is having a bad day.

In all my years of watching clay court tennis, I have never heard as much discussion about marks on court/hawkeye, as this year.

That must be the furthest Genie has got in a good while.

I have so much to do to get ready for our stay at the hospital (because we can't have vistors bringing us stuff) - I'm not sure what I will see tomorrow. .

I have everything crossed that a flash of lightning will take out Djok.

(There is no bloody way I will be dreaming about Novak. I would rather dream about Boris. Any Boris).

The cat John should work for the CIA

Good luck with the hospital Raahh don't forget to pack plenty of chocolate!

The thing I remember about Korda is that he got in a lot of trouble with drugs scandals, didn't he?

Aww, Seb has a cat called Rafa .

Jane I am panicking. I will end up with more luggage than a fortnight in Benidorm, at this rate.

I might calm down after I have spoken to the nurses on Tuesday (I don't trust the advice of surgeons, they are not always in the 'real world').

I don't understand why this year is worse for line calling.

I am very bored of the hawk eye chat.

(I am quite worried for the umpires getting up and down the wobbly looking chairs though).
