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

[JaneJeffer]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

It did take me ages to work out why Medvedev called the umpire a small cat yesterday though - I thought it was a special Russian insult
the way Daniil said "how do I say this?" beforehand and then "do you understand me?" afterwards was hilarious

And Rafa's last match against Kyrgios at Wimbledon- oh lordy- just thinking about the commentary and the fact they were almost wanting a fight on court, (and a Kyrgios win, obviously) makes me get mad .

It was only after I watched the replay that the penny dropped Jane

Still makes me mad as well Raahh - I couldn’t believe that Kyrgios got the young lad ejected today after he’d been encouraging the crowd for the last fortnight

I just watched some highlights of the women’s final to see the end, but after showing Ash’s reaction immediately after winning they cut straight to Ash being presented with her trophy and giving her speech, and didn’t show Danielle’s presentation or speech at all which I was disappointed with. Wouldn’t have hurt to show both.

Today I need to go out at 12, so hope Rafa has it all wrapped up by then!! Don’t want to miss the end of another final!

Alize

That's annoying Chessie

Morning!
I have tried to get myself organised so I don't have to move for the next couple of hours.

I am hoping it is not a stressful match- I'm not sure I can cope with a 5 set epic .

I'm so nervous!

I am too

Morning All!

I’m camped out on the settee - could be in for a long one - I’ve not got any plans for today other than to watch the match

Hopefully it won’t be too stressful (with a win for Rafa!) - Eek!

Here and slightly nervous! Hoping that my abundance of positive vibes will help.

Can we not start the shot clock talk already, Tim.

Thank you.

This is not settling my nerves 😬

Vamos!

Can they switch off the out button? It's getting on my wick.

Come on!

Rafa hasn't had the memo that I don't need an exciting match.

Really. Straightforward and dull would be just fine.

Come on Rafa.

Rafa is sweating so much

I really need Rafa to win easily today - we've had a horrible few days.
Some amazing tennis so far though....

It’s literally pouring off him Jane

Come on Rafa - not sure I can sustain this level of stress for the next few hours!

Is it mean to say that seeing Rafa's thinning hair makes me feel old? I still think of him as the young bull from Majorca.

Hope everything is ok Mama

Aaargh

Rafa seems to have spent nearly all of the match so far serving. Serving and sweating.
