Tennis: waltzing into winter

[JaneJeffer]

I am not quite over last night's match- such a shame to lose it after serving for the match.

I will watch the match later, although I am sulking.

I think I would like Daniil to win- he has probably been the best this week.

I know last night I kept thinking, well Medvedev has been really good and he deserves to be in the final... But I felt a bit sad about it today, it seemed like such a good chance for Rafa this year. It's sad he never won it at the O2. (He'll probably win the first one held in Turin - I hope so anyway!)

It should be a good match tonight though, I'm looking forward to it.

I want him to win a year end tournament- to shut up the Djok/Fed fans who think he's not good enough because it's the one thing he hasn't won.

I hope he does win in Turin- but I've a feeling next year will be difficult and long, if all the tournaments are in play. Lots of players who have been out of action this year will be wanting to prove themselves.- by the end of the year, Rafa will probably be knackered (which is usually the case).

Oh here he is! I thought that Tim had finally lost it and locked AC in the cupboard! I quite enjoyed those few minutes without commentary

I don't think we would be allowed to have the last finals in London (in case we were not aware) without AC. .

Well this is an interesting start. Could be another long one.

Good thing it started at 6pm and not 8- I don't think I could cope with a repeat of last night.

I totally forgot about the start time! Only just tuning in.

I almost forgot it was on earlier, too, Private.

Medvedev's playing style is not easy on the eye is it.

No Majestic he's no Roger

Although he brushes his hair across in the exact way Federer does

There goes AC with the Rafa's first set win stat' again. He really needs new materail .

DH is experiencing AC for the first time - he’s not impressed .

Medvedev speaks several languages including Russian - yes he’s from Russia!

Fancy that, a Russian speaking Russian .

I think they all need a break, don't they? it's been a long week in the ATP bubble.

I thought that Raahh
Most peculiar that a Russian would speak Russian.
Who knew

Turned it on at the end of the first set.
Lovely moment at the net after Thiem won it on the net cord.

I am already soooo wound up with the butterfly fancier. He just won't shut the f**k up

And Mo is in the mix aswell!

But I can't be bothered to go through the rigmarole of logging on to Prime!

I don't mind MO so much- he adds to the drama, in an empty stadium .

AC would be pleased, just turned over to Strictly, and Billy Ocean is on.

You gotta roll with it kazza

Whoever packed the mix tape for week could have varied it a bit. I think they have played the same 6 songs all week.

Recording Strictly to watch once the tennis ends.
So no spoilers....!!!

I'm not wondering where Fed is, AC.

I'm not wondering where Federer is, AC, because he hasn't played since January.

So I would hardly be expecting to see him .

Bit like DS1 saying "not this song again" when I'm playing music

kazza no spoilers, promise- I literally just turned over to see if it was actually on. I am getting all my tv timings wrong at the moment .
