Tennis: waltzing into winter

[JaneJeffer]

This has been a strange 15 minutes or so

What the hell are they playing now? Bring back Roxy

Yes the DJ has gone rogue

Stef and Rafa seem to have gone a bit rogue aswell

they have

Well this is better. I was beginning to think neither of them could hold serve!

Well those tactics worked in that game.

Aahh, bless.

A close up of Rafa's shoes, with his name one on in case someone nicks them from the changing room. Beats sewing in a name tag

Probably makes them more likely to get robbed

Rafa's looking very thin on top. He must be wel jel of Ferrer's abundant hair

All of a sudden Tim’s not liking the volleying

Come on Rafa I need to go to bed!

The was in response to your shoes comment Jane , not to the one about Rafa's hair.
Although........

Tim is going to have a good pay packet this week.

Well, this set is going much better now.

Well, Billy Ocean is better than the shite we had a couple of games ago

I might have spoken too soon

DS2 has been telling me he can't do part of his homework because he left his stuff at home. Me: but you're at home DS2: oh...at school Definitely time for bed

Billy Ocean now - it’s like being at a wedding

Poor Rafa and his hair - I still like him!

Oh no not another break please

Did the virtual crowd just clap for Rafa's first serve fault

Billy Ocean is a lovely man. He's done a few lockdown interviews.

All of a sudden Tim’s not liking the volleying

I know!

I don’t think the fake applause likes Rafa - that happened in his last match!

The machines hate Rafa

I wish I knew why Rafa is so often 'The Spaniard'- other players are very rarely 'The Brit' or 'The Greek' -and it's not like he's the only Spanish player .
