TENNIS - Down Under - not a G'Day for Novak

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

He is @cardoon and Stef has already got warnings earlier in the tournament about it.

So Apostolos is up to his tricks then- I thought things had been a bit quiet in the first set.

I said the other day, when he got into all the bother- they know he does it- why do they let him in, in the first place?

Thanks Jane

He got a time violation as well Chessie I forgot to say.

How and what information is he able to impart from behind the mask?
loving the drama

Whatever it is, it fairly winds up his opposition @cardoon

I’m still not quite sure how he does the coaching from behind his mask? Maybe they’ve got some secret hand gestures?

Tim seemed to think he was just encouraging Stef

Yes there’s not much love lost between these too!

Maybe it's something they learn at the Mouratoglou Academy FIzzy? Patrick is a bit partial to 'supporting' from the stands .

It must be hand signals. Rubbing nose = serve slowly. Scratching head = volley more. Or something.

It's all Greek to me.

Jane

This match will get to a crucial point, and ds will ring me to pick him up- I can see it now.

🤣

Hand signals eh?

Is he reading this thread

This could be the turning point then.

Did Stef get a coaching violation? I had doggy duties to attend to.

I'm not sure, Jane. Whatever is going on, Stef is the one who has ended up distracted- and about to lose- and Daniil is unaffected.
Words really need to be had in the Tsitsipas camp, because they are only causing issues for themselves.

And it was a bit frosty at the net...

Little apology to the umpire there from Daniil.

Alize warming up She makes me laugh.

That all finished quickly! Ooh it’s going to be Rafa and Daniil in the final - I’m feeling nervous already!

Daniil really does like getting a dog in about Djok

*dig

Daniil going out for dinner instead of watching the women’s final

Jim doesn’t know what to make of him!

Yes we all know what happened in Miami didn't stay in Miami Daniil
