Elina Svitolina won the bronze today- which is a nice end to her 'honeymoon' in japan Grin. Unfortunately, Gael lost in the first round of the men's singles, so we'll gloss over that Grin.

Djok is such a dickhead. Poor Nina Stojanovic. Well done Pablo!

Is the final being shown anywhere?

BT Sport is annoying. The final was interrupted (rain I presume - had to do shopping which seemed to take forever) and now they are just not showing it Angry

JaneJeffer · 31/07/2021 20:03

The Austrian final just to clarify Grin

JaneJeffer · 31/07/2021 20:17

The UK Pro League is on BT3 which I didn't even know we had! It looks like it's being played in a community centre and the noise from an adjacent match is so loud. They are just separated by curtains Grin

I saw the scores for Casper's match earlier, and that it had been suspended. By the look of things, it still is.

Djok has serious issues. He looks almost demonic when he gets angry- it really is quite scary.

Fizzywinegum · 31/07/2021 22:15

Raahh I saw I picture of Djok and the word demonic came to mind - it was scary!

Tennis was on the BBC red button today Jane so I’m hoping it will be tomorrow as well - there’s a doubles match at 7am before the men’s final I think

Raahh · 01/08/2021 09:23

I have just turned on the tennis final.

To a discussion,again, about Djok and golden slams etc. That really annoys me. Focus on the players who are there.

Anyway- it's Sascha and Karen Hemsworth. I like the colour of Karen's shorts.

The tennis players don't appear to have played in specific 'team' colours. Unless Karen has started playing footie for West Ham.

Morning Tennis

We've been away for a couple of weeks - so I haven't seen any of the tennis at all Shock Got back last night - just in time to catch up with the thread before the men's final Grin

There are some extra eurosport Olympics channels and it's on there at the moment - 983 on Sky if that helps anyone.

Raahh · 01/08/2021 09:49

Morning Private! Hope you had a good break.

It's been an eventful week. Seeing Djok ousted - not just from the semi final, but in the broze medal match- was just brilliant.

Grin.

Raahh · 01/08/2021 09:49

*bronze

Raahh · 01/08/2021 09:52

I was so pleased for PCB yesterday, he was so emotional. Almost made up for the lack of Rafa (well, at least he's Spanish).

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 01/08/2021 09:58

Bloody BBC red button have just switched from the tennis to the bloody gymnastics! That seems to be all they ever show.

Is it possible to watch the tennis anywhere for free now or is that it? I don’t have Sky.

Fizzywinegum · 01/08/2021 10:03

Morning Spidey - thank you I’ve just managed to find the tennis on that Sky channel

Sorry TheOnly - not sure where else it’s being shown

Sascha has just won the first set

Raahh · 01/08/2021 10:14

He's running away with this really, Sascha.

Raahh · 01/08/2021 10:33

At least Karen avoided a bagel.

Sascha serving for the match.

Raahh · 01/08/2021 10:38

And Sascha has won. Well done him. Deserved it really for his impressive perfomance against He Who Shall Not Be Named.

Fizzywinegum · 01/08/2021 10:40

Yes well done Sascha! The gold medal will go well with his other medallions - hope he doesn’t try to wear it when he plays Grin

Raahh · 01/08/2021 10:41

After his really good semi final at RG, and now this, I expect Sascha will be feeling confident going forward- and he got to the final in the US last year, so who knows.

And hopefully HWSNBN will follow through with his threat of maybe be not playing the US Open- since apparently he played this week with 'abnormal pain'. Hmm.

Raahh · 01/08/2021 10:42

Can you imagine he will get quite a shiner if he tries playing wearing his medal Fizzy.

Like to see him try though! preferably against Djok to wind him up.

Grin
Fizzywinegum · 01/08/2021 10:49

Yes that would be funny Raahh - I want to see the medal ceremony - not sure if they will do it straight away? I didn’t even know that these extra Eurosport channels existed Confused

I think this will give Sascha a lot of confidence going into the us open. Djok and his ‘abnormal pain’ - hope he does us all a favour and swerves the us Open!

It looks as if the medals are out so hopefully the ceremony will be soon

Raahh · 01/08/2021 10:52

It looks like the medals are coming out- maybe someone had to go and wake up PCB? Grin

Raahh · 01/08/2021 10:55

The organisation is a bit slow- at Wimbledon they've finished the final, whipped away the net, lined up the ball kis and presented the trophy by now.
This is all far too sombre for a medal ceremony- where's the bloody Mascot???!

Or fish head man. We need fish head man.

Raahh · 01/08/2021 10:55

*ball kids

Raahh · 01/08/2021 10:57

Even with his mask, PCB looks chuffed.

Raahh · 01/08/2021 11:00

It took me half the week, to realise those bunches of flowers were not just flowers, but a small mascot toy with a flowery head.

I love the German national anthem. We used to sing a hymn to this tune.
I'm a heathen now, and forget with one. Grin.
