Tennis - waiting for Australian Open

[magimedi]

And longing for lots of chat!!

Tension!

This is very stressful.

A tie break, the way Stef is serving, will not go Rafa's way.

It might not get that far.

Not sure if I can cope with a tiebreak - Stef seems to be looking the most confident

Might not go to a tiebreak

x post.

Can we go back to the second set?

Rafa must be nervous!

It was this stage that Rafa lost last year. This was his chance to gain some points- finally.

Djok is going to win the whole bloody thing again, isn't he?

This is crazy!

oof.

Well played Stef- but gutted for Rafa.

Poor Rafa. That was some come back by Stef.

Well- at the start of the tournament, I didn't think he would play that well, after not playing in the ATP cup with his back, so to get this far is something.

Still though.

Massive effort from Stef- the next match should/could be another big one. I think Daniil probably stands the better chance against Djok, though, going forward (and has the better record against Stef).

oh well. Suppose I should do something productive.

Yes we’ll done Stef - still not really sure what happened there

It’s just anyone but Djok to win for me now - maybe Aslan will go all the way?

I do like Stef though

I like Stef, I like Daniil too- I don't know anything about Aslan (except I like his name) so , so long as one of them wins, I'm happy. .

Maybe Karatsev will have the match of his career tomorrow against Djok ?

I feel very stressed now.

I think I was happier, discussing ice cream .

Yes ice cream talk was better

Feel a bit deflated now - ‘D’H has just texted me to ask how the tennis is going - if he knows the score that’s mean!

I love the Aussie radio. They have a very funny turn of phrase. Much better than listening to Frew droning on.

Kazza hope your dad gets better. One of my neighbours who is in his 90's tested positive whilst in hospital and he's back home now. He lives alone but has home help call in a few times a day.

DH just rang me. He obviously hadn't heard or it would have been the first thing he said Fizzy. I know when he comes home he will ask what happened to Nadal

There will be a lot of happy young women in the world right now

I did like that Stef's camp all had the masks with his face on again.

I think Stef is the only person who can get away with the masks - imagine a Djok one? (Would be nearly as bad as the T-shirts his parents used to wear )

oh the t-shirts! And his face on his shoe. .

I feel quite drained by that.

Pity it wasn't the final, really.
I would probably not feel quite so glum about it, if Sascha had been able to beat Djok yesterday.

The stuff of nightmares, that t-shirt. .

I've just seen Stef's dad's T-shirt. Wonder if he was listening to the radio yesterday
