Sounds like a Scooby Doo plot Grin

kazzaD66 · 20/08/2021 16:13

I used to love Scooby Doo Grin
Couldn't stand Scrappy though. Didn't really watch it once he came along.

Fizzywinegum · 20/08/2021 17:02

Yes Scrappy was annoying kazza

It’s surprising how many time Scooby Doo gets mentioned on this thread!

Those meddling kids Grin

Ann Keovathong is not a fan of Benoit's beard Shock

Raahh · 20/08/2021 18:32

Well, Rublev isn't hanging around. Reminds me of when he beat Federer in Cincy in 2019- that was one of his biggest wins at the time, in under an hour.

Benoit has the physio out- after the match yesterday with Monfils, Rublev must be wondering what he has done to the French players Grin.

Raahh · 20/08/2021 18:48

I seem to have jinxed Rublev- and Benoit has come out a new man since his 'physio' so Rublev might start getting suspicious again Grin

Raahh · 20/08/2021 19:41

And now Rublev has to change his shoes, becaue his lace snapped.

Sam bemused he doesn't have another pair.

It was Stef that was always faffing with his shoes, wasn't it? Doesn't seem to happen anymore.

Raahh · 20/08/2021 19:51

And Rublev has won, was a good match in the end. Paire actually seemed to be wanting to win Grin.

Raahh · 20/08/2021 20:58

Not going well for PCB. Medvedev is running away with this match.

Raahh · 21/08/2021 18:03

Daniil playing Andrey in the first semi final- they are obsessed by the views of the boring corridor that the players have to wait in, in the Prime studio. It doesn't look very glamGrin. Looks like a sports hall anywhere. Not much room either- Rafa would do himself a lot damage, bouncing around.

They have put a picture on the wall since yesterday.

Raahh · 21/08/2021 18:04

I love that the DJ appears to be playing Boney M- Rasputin Grin.

Raahh · 21/08/2021 19:08

ooh- Daniil knocked into one of the courtside cameras and it fell over- then kicked it- and claims he nearly broke his hand. He's not a happy camper. It is a bit in the way, the camera.

Raahh · 21/08/2021 19:12

Oof- looking at the replay, the camera fell into the operator- he's lucky to be ok.

Daniil is still ranting Grin.

Raahh · 21/08/2021 19:13

He's having treatment on his hand - I do hope for his sake it isn't as bad as he's making it out to be- because he is the big hope to stop Djok!

Raahh · 21/08/2021 19:13

(In the US Open that is).

I'll stop talking to myself now...Grin

kazzaD66 · 21/08/2021 19:17
Grin Sorry Raahh Having dinner at the moment and waiting for DS to do dessert, so not watching tennis.
Raahh · 21/08/2021 19:38
Grin

I wasn't going to watch- but it's actually a fun match, even though the first set was very one sided.

Raahh · 21/08/2021 20:34

Wow! Rublev has won- I think the fall really rattled Daniil, and he didn't recover, but Andrey played well. It's the first time he's beaten Medvedev I think.

Fizzywinegum · 21/08/2021 21:57

Yes sorry Raahh I’ve not managed to watch any tennis for the last few days but I’ve enjoyed your updates Grin

Hope that Daniil’s hand isn’t too injured

Looks as if Tom Cruise has been filming not too far from us - he gets about a bit!

JaneJeffer · 22/08/2021 00:45

I'm watching Stef v Sascha. It's a set all.

The umpire isn't allowing Stef to go to the loo because he's already been Grin

Sascha is in trouble for changing his top because apparently it's only allowed off court!

JaneJeffer · 22/08/2021 01:55

Sascha managed to win even though he was sick and had to get the doctor out. It could have gone either way right to the end.

Tsitsipas is a cheating !

Takes his whole bag into the loo each time. Zverev says he is receiving coaching via his phone. Camera cuts to Tsitsipas snr, who is indeed very busy on his phone! 😀

We all know Tsitsipas wants on court coaching. Guess he is determined to do it anyway! What with this conduct and his anti vax stance I’m rapidly going off him.

Did you see Medvedev crash into the tv camera? I could not believe their placement right on the court! He could have broken his arm - I hope he sues them.
Reminded me of that time Goffin fell over the tarps at the back of the court at French Open - he was out of the game for ages.

Raahh · 22/08/2021 11:01

Jane sounds fun- I fell asleep just before it was due to start, and it had just ended when I woke up Grin. There have been quite a few 'incidents' this week, really.

I do like Daniil, but when he loses it, he really loses it Grin. His fall did look bad- but I think he over egged it a little - though it could have been a disaster. It was funny that the commentators pointed out the umpire seemed more concerned for the camera operator at first. (or maybe the very expensive camera!) Maybe that's what got Daniil cross Grin.

During the commentary, they kept referring to how it is one of the smaller 'show' courts around- and possibly why Rafa has only won once- since he likes to stand so far outside the baseline. There really isn't any room.

And why can't they change on the court? Players are always changing on the court. Is this a covid thing? I'm sure I've seen plenty do it in other tournaments over the past year.

It should be a good final- it took Andrey a while to settle into the match yesterday (probably helped by the camera incident)- but he played well in the end. They have a good rivalry going in finals- and Rublev will want revenge for Monte Carlo, where he ran of steam, really.

Fizzywinegum · 22/08/2021 11:16

Sounded like a good match - which umpire was in charge - was it the scary Line of Duty one? I thought they were allowed to change their shirts on court? I seem to remember a female tennis player getting told off for trying to change hers a few years ago

Yes it should be a good final - not sure if I’ll get to see any of it though

I was surprised by Stef’s anti vax stance Science - apparently he doesn’t see why people of his age need to be vaccinated - maybe he should tell that to all the young people who’ve caught it and ended up with long COVID Hmm
