impossible it is very confusing Grin

Fizzywinegum · 27/07/2021 11:50

Grin oh yes still love Only Connect (although I think it’s getting even harder!)

I really think the BBC are stringing out what little coverage they’ve actually got - I saw the diving and the mountain bike golds live and then saw them about a million times throughout the day, on the news and then again in the highlights programme when DH came home Hmm as well as the triathlon from the night before (and the dodgy Norwegian outfits!)

Marin was quite funny - I think Murray and Salisbury are playing Ram (and someone else can’t remember who) in the next round which should be interesting.

Fizzywinegum · 27/07/2021 11:54

It’s Tiafoe and Ram in the doubles

JaneJeffer · 27/07/2021 23:02

I haven't got to see much of the Olympics. The limited coverage is annoying. I loved the late night BB4 programme during Rio with Dan Walker.

Fizzywinegum · 28/07/2021 06:34

Murray and Salisbury are playing Cilic and Dodig in the doubles - for some reason I thought Ram and Tiafoe had gone through! You need a PhD to work out the schedule Hmm

Wonder when the BBC will show some tennis?

Raahh · 28/07/2021 07:07

Jane I loved the Dan Walker programme from the beach.
There hasn't been much made of the mascot at these games- the mascot was a big deal in Rio. And London. The sense of fun is missing, I think.

JaneJeffer · 28/07/2021 12:21

The interviewer in Austria is hilarious. Krajinovic just won his match and he asked him if he thinks Ruud is going to win the tournament Grin

JaneJeffer · 28/07/2021 13:37

Martinez just got a drenching from the hose while they were playing the Benny Hill theme tune. You couldn't make up Grin

Poor Daniil

GrinShock

I have missed everything today. I have had a migraine for days, but have muddled through, nodding off here and there- but I'm on new meds and they make me feel like a zombie.
Today I have felt terrible.
At least dd2 has finally finished school. In a year when she has hardly been to school Grin.

Fizzywinegum · 28/07/2021 17:49

The Austrian tournament sounds very entertaining Jane Grin

Daniil looks a bit like me last week in the heatwave - except I was just sat in the garden and not playing tennis! It did look extremely hot on the two seconds that they showed this morning of the Murray/Salisbury match (before switching to the diving even though it was a champions tiebreak Hmm)

Good to see that Foggy is following in Rafa’s footsteps with the A/C hose down the shorts look Grin

kazzaD66 · 28/07/2021 17:53

GrinJane Fabio acting up to the Italian stallion stereotype Grin

I read that Medvedev asked Carlos Ramos if the ITF would take responsibility if he died Grin

Obviously not a great day for the Brits and clearly we didn't qualify for the mixed, which have now started, because everyone is now making their way home. I don't know what the qualification criteria was anyway Confused

That's awful Raahh but at least you get a break from school hassle for a while now. I feel like we have been on school holidays forever!

Fizzy I wish I could post the water hose clip. I videoed it on my phone from the telly but I think I would have to do it through an app or something. I'm hoping they post it on Twitter.

Raahh · 29/07/2021 10:11

I have just crawled out of bed and see it is Djok v Keith on Eurosport.

They are really bigging up Djok. He is popular. Apparently.

Come on Keith!!!

Fizzywinegum · 29/07/2021 11:09

Hope you are feeling a bit better today Raahh

Ooh come on Keith - apparently Djok is lapping up all the attention at the Olympics (as Roger and Rafa aren’t there!)

Fizzywinegum · 29/07/2021 11:12

Just looked at the score and Keith not doing too well Sad

PCB has won the first set against Daniil - hope it’s a bit cooler for him today and he survives the match!

JaneJeffer · 29/07/2021 13:40

I haven't seen any of the Olympics tennis but I see Sascha is playing Djok next. Come on Sascha!

Raahh · 30/07/2021 09:18

I gave up on yesterday- I saw about 3 games of the Nishikori match and fell asleep. I feel a lot better today, just like I have a really bad hangover.
Migraines suckGrin.

Sascha has just started his match -and just as I started watching, he lost his serve. So maybe I shouldn't watch. Not that it seems to matter- Djok appears to be steamrolling through everyone and his PR team are on over drive with making him out to be the nicest bloke on the planetHmm.

His face is annoying me.

Raahh · 30/07/2021 09:28

Not going well for Sascha.

Come on Sascha!!

Raahh · 30/07/2021 09:30

Can we do a deal? Just give Djok the gold medal- and the US open if it helps.

And then he retires?

kazzaD66 · 30/07/2021 10:06

It's a blessing I haven't been able to watch any tennis Raahh, apart from the odd seconds on the BBC highlights programme Hmm
He's in the mixed doubles semi aswell.

I see Norrie has beaten Kyrgios to reach the quarter finals in Atlanta.

OP posts:
Raahh · 30/07/2021 10:09

It's probably a wise move not to watch anything kazza- but- in Sascha is serving for the second set at the moment .

So I've jinxed him now.

Norrie certainly made the right decision not to go to Tokyo.

Raahh · 30/07/2021 10:10

And beating Kyrgios is always a good thing [grin ].
