Tennis thread: French Open second week and all your autumnal tennis chat - this way!

[PrivateSpidey]

Couldn't think of anything witty. As usual

Yes, I saw Grigor had a walkover but didn't know what the problem was. I like your theory though Raahh

The Evans/ Khachanov match is getting incredibly spicy. Khachanov has just got a code violation. Can't believe the tournament got rid of Hawkeye

Apparently Milos has an abdominal strain.
His shorts were too tight

kazza I've just tuned in for that and all I can see is a pink stripey screen and no tennis

I have got sound though.

Oh no Private
Although KK is wearing a pink shirt.
Dan is just about to serve for the match.

The screen has gone green now

But I can hear there are "match points galore"

Ooh he's won it.

Well I enjoyed that

Well done Dan!!

Stan answering the important questions

Gotta love him

Stan .

Good old Stan

Poor Milos and his shorts related injury

I’d heard that they had dogs on sun beds at the Cologne tournament - not quite sure which one! I’m still not convinced about the dogs and tennis combo but again we are living in strange times!

First day of tier 3 for us - I’m already fed up of explaining the new rules to my DM (not sure if I fully understand them myself!)

We’ve had a reprieve on exercise classes so I’m off to yoga now to try to recapture my zen (or there’s always wine later )

Meanwhile in Ireland...

it's great to know where you stand, eh, Jane

I've just seen that Djok is playing in Vienna. He's a sly one. He has withdrawn from Paris.
it's all about the points with Djok. He will gain 500 points from Vienna. He gains nothing from Paris.

He is clearly determined to be number one at the end of the year. There was the very slimmest of chances of Rafa overtaking him (possibly- not sure of the maths) if he won in Paris and London and Djok didn't win anything, I suppose.

Bloody hell Dan!

Well done Sascha!

It was a good win for Sascha- I didn't get chance to see it, but I was watching the scores.

Vienna seems to be quite a loaded field. I'm not sure they get such a good list of players under normal circumstances - it's a shame there won't be many spectators.

I just hope Smarmy Djok doesn't win it. He very rarely plays 500 tournaments- and when he does, it's a points thing. He hasn't played Vienna for years.

Yes Raahh Vienna is bursting at the seams.
Stan and Grigor are playing this afternoon. On the same side of the net for a change, against Salisbury and Ram.

Does anyone know if it's on Prime?

Kazza it is on Prime. They are showing Anderson/Dennis Novak at the moment. Monfils/PCB iis due a bit later.
I can't seem to find any doubles on the 'up comng' schedule', sadly.

Rublev, is playing the fabulously named Norbert Gombos.

I just love that name. It cheers me up every time i see it.

I have been up, 2 days running, at 3.30am, due to problems with dd2- so I am very tired. I take anything I can get, in the 'cheering up' department.

I hate golf but...

Jane
Actually, I think he looks better in golf attire than tennis kit.
Controversial, I know, but then I admit I'm not quite such a Rafa mega fan as some of you.....

Completely forgot about the tennis after my earlier query about Prime - it's my age I've just spent the last two hours trying to clear out my wardrobe. I've only sorted through tops in that time
It's not as if I have a massive wardrobe, so not quite sure why it's taking so long, although I did try a lot of things on and was also dusting the rail and hangers and clothes as I went along

I see the Stan/Grigor vs Salisbury/Ram match was close. I'm sure it would have been great to watch.

Can anyone start a new thread?
I'm afraid I haven't got a clue
Sorry!

Thanks Jane
I'm crap, I know
