Of course, they now have a roof at RG.

I bet Djok is the first to make use of it. Grin.

Fizzywinegum · 16/09/2020 09:31

I’m sure he will be Raahh Hmm

Fizzywinegum · 16/09/2020 12:10

Cilic won quite easily against Goffin

Djok is on now - his T-shirt looks as if little Stefan has been let loose with a red felt tip! His opponent looks as if he’s wearing his pyjamas Hmm

Raahh · 16/09/2020 12:21
Grin I'm watching Halep. Was a bit topsy turvy at the start but she's settled now.
Raahh · 16/09/2020 13:56

As I thought he might, Tsitsipas is struggling against Sinner, and lost the first set 1-6.

Raahh · 16/09/2020 14:56

Stef is turning this match around then

I had to go out. DD1 has been sent home because someone in her year has tested positve, that's 300+ year 10s, isolating for 14 days, when they have been back just over a week.

FFS.

Fizzywinegum · 16/09/2020 15:13

Oh no Raahh what a nightmare!

Looks as if Stef just managed to pull it back in the second set

Raahh · 16/09/2020 17:16

Grrr. After weeks, Prime has decided to stop working on my tv- just as I want to actually watch something. I can watch on my laptop, but it's not the same. Sad.

PrivateSpidey · 16/09/2020 17:29

Oh no Raahh! That's no good.

Just watching Grigor v Nishioka - Grigor won the first set pretty comprehensively.

Did anyone see any of Venus v Azarenka - I hear that was good. Tennis players are amazing. How can you travel from the final in NY to Rome just a couple of days later, and then win a tennis match?! What about jetlag etc?

I don't know how they do it.

Raahh · 16/09/2020 17:36

I saw Vika had won- good for her. Sorry for Venus though.

Fizzywinegum · 16/09/2020 17:55

I’m watching Grigor Spidey it’s a bit one sided but Grigor seems to be playing well.

I know what you mean about tennis players - I would still be jet lagged and confused after flying from New York never mind playing and winning an elite tennis match!

Sorry your Prime isn’t working Raahh - I got an error message earlier but seems to be ok now (fingers crossed).

Getting excited (and nervous) for Rafa - I’ve planted myself in front of the telly and I’m not moving!

Raahh · 16/09/2020 17:58

It is working on my laptop, but we have no idea why it's stopped working on the tv. It was before. Confused.

Typical!

Fizzywinegum · 16/09/2020 18:00

Sad Raahh

Hope that Rafa’s not too freaked out by the new Covid rules!

Raahh · 16/09/2020 18:05

Rafa looks like a bee.

Fizzywinegum · 16/09/2020 18:06

Where is Rafa? PCB’s been waiting ages! Oh here he is - Rafa looks as if he’s going on holiday for a fortnight with all his bags! Hmm

Fizzywinegum · 16/09/2020 18:07

Grin Raahh - his mask matches his kit - classy!

Raahh · 16/09/2020 18:17

fizzy See, that was what I hoped Paire would do, match his mask to his kit. And he didn't Grin.

Fizzywinegum · 16/09/2020 18:23

I think Rafa’s the first player that I’ve seen match his mask to his kit - he should have definitely won most stylish tennis player Grin

Some of the masks would be pretty grim if they matched some of the kits though! Roger’s would be monogrammed in gold Smile

Raahh · 16/09/2020 18:27

Yy- Djok never matched his mask to his kit. In fact, knowing him, he probably didn't bother with one.

You're right, the Andre kit mask might be a bit too much.

And Roger probably already has his monogrammed masks at the ready. With a number 20 in the corner. Grin

Raahh · 16/09/2020 18:28

Dh has fixed the tv. Well, we've got Prime to work. Not how we usually watch it, but it's working. He is muttering things about HDMI cables and 4k.

I am just happy to have it on the big screen Grin.

Raahh · 16/09/2020 18:29

There are quite a few people watching.

Raahh · 16/09/2020 18:32

I am not a fan of the luminous yellow top, Rafa.

But at least it isn't matched with shorts.

Fizzywinegum · 16/09/2020 18:33

It’s almost a full house!

Djok was moaning this morning about having to wear a mask just before his match started - the umpire told him that he had to!

Raahh · 16/09/2020 18:41

Seriously, Djok should be chucked out again, if he thinks the rules don't apply to him. And we know from all his antics this year, he clearly doesn't.

Fizzywinegum · 16/09/2020 18:52

He’s a pain!

Rafa looking good - first few games were close but he’s won the first set 6-1
