Tennis: waltzing into winter

[JaneJeffer]

here we go.

Has it been 12 years AC. You've never mentioned it, not once. .

Just switched the telly on and it’s Djok against Thiem . I was sure that Rafa was on this afternoon? Oh well I suppose DH will get to see the rugby now

Yes, I switched on expecting Rafa! Why have they swapped the matches?

I’m glad it’s not just me Eggs - I def thought Rafa was playing this afternoon - oh well come on Thiem!

I feel really bad as I told my mum that Rafa was at 2pm and she planned her day around watching him

Also fully behind Thiem!

No, they defintely said last night it was Djok/ Thiem this afternoon- which since Medvedev played his match last night, make sense.

I think I looked at the Google schedule too early- it said Nadal/Medvedev at 2pm and Thiem/Djokovic TBD, so I assumed Nadal would be the earlier match

Yes I looked at it yesterday as well Eggs - should know by now not to trust it! I also told my DM that Rafa was on this afternoon

I had sort of planned by day around watching Rafa this afternoon but as I haven’t got that many other options it’s not really a big issue for me

It's been a week, and I am still not keen on the fake applause. .

It is a bit random - I wonder whose job it is to press the button?

Once thing I will not be sticking around for, is Djoks 'celebration' if he wins. It is bad enough in front of a stadium full of people. It looks bloody stupid in front of no-one.

I think this would have been a good time for Djok to have dropped the ‘celebration’ Raahh but no he continues to do it

I have to run out of the room when he does it - it makes my toes curl!

I have no idea why he does it. It not exactly a reflex thing like a fist bump or a scream, it's planned.

Tim was very scathing about it. I get the feeling most people think he looks like a prize twit. His guru needs to take him to one side and have a word. .

I can't understand why he's doing it with no crowd there!!

I don't really know why he does he does it when people are Private .

I think he got carried away by the lurve of the 'rentacrowd' at the ATP Cup.

AC does like reminding Tim about Wimbledon, doesn't he? At least he has an interesting past, AC, unlike you. .

Tim will be so relieved on Sunday night when he can escape the bubble

Tim will run sobbing into his wife's arms

Fizzy poor Tim- it's been a long week- what with him splitting his time with his Prime mates as well .

I did laugh at AC's story of Tim waving a cheque at him after he won something or other. He'll probably wave his Amazon cheque at him as well.

Come on Domi!

Oh yes I forgot that all you British people know nothing about Domi.

AC loves to think no-one knows who Dom is. He's been around a few years now.
