Tennis: USA & Canada

[JaneJeffer]

Can't think of a damn thing but you get the gist

Also apparently Stef learnt the bathroom trick from Djok in the french Open final - hmm

Fizzy I thought that at first too, about the whiffy trainers.

Raahh I live in a male dominated house so I know all about whiffy trainers!

It looks as if they’re playing again on the outside courts

Well, I started watching the Daniil match- first game or so lasted ages- and suddenly he had won the set 6-4.
Koepfer is the player who took him to 4 sets in 2019, the match where Daniil got all rattled by crowd and became 'the villain'. .

I liked Daniil the villain

Grigor has had to withdraw from his match - think he has an injury

Evo has gone off the boil a bit and lost the third set

Oh dear, Grigor.

Henman is obsessed wth the bathroom break things. They are timing everyone. They are really going on about it now. It's getting boring.

Jim is asking the big questions now 'So Tim- hat do you do at Wimbledon?'

He's in charge of the car park, Jim.

Grigor had a good run at the 2019 US Open, didn't he? He beat Federer.

After a number of events where he seemed to keep losing to Stan in the first round .

What’s with all the horrible yellow dresses this year? Halep had one, just been watching Sabale ka and she’s wearing one, and I think Katie Boulter also had one. Don’t know if it was literally the same dress, but certainly same colour.

It's not a good colour, is it Chessie?

Rafa is looking peachy.

There's too many things to watch on at the same time. Can't believe it's back to school tomorrow!

Jane I've got a splitting headache from thinking about back to school. DD2 goes back tomorrow, and DD1 on Friday. I keep panicking I won't wake up .

I miss Rafa.

Although I don't actually miss the stress of watching him.

Ooh where’s Rafa Jane - I need to plan my stalking!

Jim keeps winding Tim up about him being in charge of Wimbledon (we’ve known it for years!)

BvdZ has beaten Casper

Oh no- Casper! That's a shame.

Still did better than Kyrgios though. .

He's at the academy Fizzy hope you get to see him so I can have some secondhand excitement!

I’ll try Jane - not sure what I would do if I actually bumped into him - probably run away

Very pleased for Emma getting through to the third round.

I am now watching Petra Kvitova and she’s got a horrible yellow dress on as well!

Yes that’s a good win for Radacanu Chessie - there is a lot of yellow around and it’s not a nice yellow!

I’m just watching a bit of Berrettini - the weather in NY looked awful last night - I think some people lost their lives in the floods - it looks a bit calmer today

Apparently if an unvaccinated player is a close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID they are immediately withdrawn from the tournament - that’s a big risk to take if you’re going for the Golden Slam

Fizzy It would be a terrible shame for a certain someone to get booted out early (for the second year running) wouldn't it?

Terrible.

Yes that would be a terrible shame …

I see Djok is marching on. Meh.

I know Jane . I'm glad it was on too late to even think about watching, really.

I don't care who does it, I just want someone to beat him!

At least he’s been on late so I haven’t been able to watch him!

He’s got Keith next - can’t really see him stopping him but we can hope

No, much as I would like to see Keith cause an upset, I can't see it happening.

But - COME ON KEITH! anyway .
