Tennis: USA & Canada

[JaneJeffer]

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

I went to Sea world when we went to Florida, about 15 years ago- and we had to 'salute the troups' and sing the national anthem before a show.

Dh grew up in the US- (American dad) even he rolled his eyes .

After listening to the whole 'calendar slam' build up for weeks, I really hope it doesn't happen. Just as the gold medal didn't happen.

Has Tim not been home? I'm sure he's in the same shirt as last night .

I think Daniil needs to try and get under his skin somehow if he's to have any chance. Djok is bound to be nervous.

Party Tim

Tim doing the walk of shame to the commentary box.

I am all for Daniil throwing every dirty trick in the book at Djok. I don't care. He can have a 15 minute loo break and order pizza in the second set for the ball kids.

Order Djok dodgy figs.

He's a sly old dog, is Tim . Such a party animal.

Having said that, I can imagine Tim has a wardrobe of perfectly pressed, identical blue shirts all lined up . Ready for any occasion.

Yep

Yes that’s a more plausible explanation Raahh

Come on Daniil!

Mind you Tim sounds a bit hoarse.

He spent all last night shouting 'come on Emma' to make up for the fact the crowd were against her .

I want to be glad that Djok has started like this- but it has become what he does- loses the first set, and sails through the next ones. So, I'm not getting excited. Yet.

No Jim. Shame.

Gutted, Jane.

PMSL, at Dylan Alcott

I have noticed that a lot of the younger men aren't very good with the five set matches, hence not doing as well in Grand Slams. So I would be surprised if Djoko doesn't pull it out of the bag. But at least he's been eclipsed by last night's events.

See you all love Jim really

I’m still not getting excited about Daniil being a break up - I’ve seen it all before …

I will only get excited when he's three sets up

Fizzy that's the problem isn't it, we saw Stef got 2 sets up in RG and it looked like a done deal- and it wasn't.
I don't trust Djok .

Jane

So- first set to Daniil.

I think he’s losing the first set on purpose - spooky mind games!

Fizzy I agree. He's a snake.
