TENNIS THREAD- The Slams are over, and we have new Champions!

[Raahh]

Even though the commentators are still talking about Djokovic as though Medvedev hasn't won.

How much credit does Daniil deserve? All of it! He bloody won .

I'm a bit cross. Can you tell .

I used to love going to the cinema by myself- and because I worked odd shifts at the time, it was often in the early afternoons or morning. It's a bit odd being one of only a handful of people in screen, though, watching a comedy- no-one wants to laugh.

Well, I have been score watching, and Mahut/PHH won the first set, on a tie break, but Salisbury/Ram are 4-0 up in the second.

And Joe and Rajeev won- Mahut and PHH seemed to collapse in the second set and it went to a 3rd set tie break thingy. (technical term).

So, Norrie and Ruud. No idea how this will go, tbh.

why are Greg and Tim wasting air time discussing Kyrgios, ffs, who has been saying this week that he thinks RG should be taken out of the slam calendar because he's shit on clay.

It's because he bad mouths Ruud, I think. Goes back to the match in Ronme when he threw a chair.

But look who is at who is in the tour final- and is world number 8 already. And it's not the player that the pundits have been bigging up for years, is it? Maybe it's time they stopped giving him attention. .

why are Greg and Tim wasting air time discussing Kyrgios
Glad I missed that discussion!

I can't understand why they're still bigging him up. He's being overtaken left, right and centre. They're embarrassing themselves.

Jane I made the mistake of turning the match on too early , and caught the pre match waffle. . They were clearly running out of things to talk about.

Yes, they are embarrassing themselves by still thinking Kyrgios is in any way relevant, when (as we can see this week) the majority of the top 10 players in the world are younger than he is - and he is still only 26- have already won multiple titles between them, and are leaving him for dust.

There's a very gothic quality to this match

There is- these two didn't get the 'wear blue' memo that they were discussing in the studio this afternoon .

Video review. Bloody hell it's bad enough having VAR on the footie!

Carlos looked quite excited at getting to use it .

Poor Casper- another flipping alternate coming in and spoiling the party .

Yes Carlos couldn't wait

Casper has awoken

He has, hasn't he?

We have a match on our hands. (I'm sure one of them will say that in a bit) .

Who did they say died?

I missed that!

From this angle, Annabel seems to have freakishly big hands.

Maybe it's my tv.

To be fair to the crowd- Cameron is a bit dull. I've never really warmed to him, I'm afraid. I'm sure he's lovely. . But Casper has been on my 'one to watch' list since that fateful, chair throwing day in Rome, when I discovered Norwegians played tennis .

Note to self: never google tennis player died. And I still don't know who they were talking about!

I tried rewinding it- but Prime never works properly when you do that (at least not for me ).

Ugh glad that I missed the Kyrgios love in - when will they realise that he is totally irrelevant

I love going to the cinema on my own - it’s definitely not sad!

The outfits are a bit gothic

Looks as if Casper has turned this around (possibly)

Oh no now I’m worried about who’s died

I think Casper has found his feet now.
