TENNIS: AO Men's Final and beyond

[JaneJeffer]

Rafa seems to have settled down a bit now.

I've jinxed him, probably

I disagree with the commentators that Rafa isn't often 'scratchy' at the start of a match. It seems to happen quite a lot. Then he figures out his opponent, and it gets better. But he is often slow to start.

Evening all! Only started watching a Dan lost the first set. Rafa has had a few mishits that have worked somehow!
This could be over very quickly now

Glad to read the Dan love on here
Dan (and I) have chipped away at your resistance over the years

I quite like Rafa's kit. It suits the hot weather.

Sorry to hear about your tooth and cold Raahh and Jane

Bugger about Daniil losing (although I like Gael). Bloody Cock back to No 1 without having to do anything

kazza it is very annoying about Djok. Unfortunately, that's how the rankings go, which can be irritating

And yes, I have warmed to Dan over the last year or so. Beating Djok helped.

Yes you’ve finally worn us down kazza Dan has played well though

I saw a man in the crowd wearing the orange Rafa shirt earlier - it didn’t look quite as good on a non athletic body

Come on Rafa - I need to go to bed soon

It want that man that I saw earlier with the Rafa t shirt

Dan has not played badly, at all- but Rafa is the master at problem solving, as I said, and that is how he is who he is.

Wasn’t!

I always liked Dan kazza and thought he was treated unfairly. It's great to see him up there now. Maybe he'll win Wimbledon this year. I say this annually in the hope one year I will be right

Raahh Petch talks some amount of shite

It's been a weird month so far. Even the dog had a run in with the post van but he's improving and luckily nothing was broken. I've decided I don't like March.

I'll have to rewind!

Even Petch is talking about his kit colour
And I don't usually like orange!

Why are they talking about Djok!!!

Jane oh dogs! to add to my stress, my dog had a lump removed from his nose earlier this month. It was benign- but the blood tests showed up possible liver problems ( he's a mini schnauzer, it's a bit of breed thing). We've had some more tests, and nothing seems to be a big issue.

I've decided that vets and dentists are only interested in money.

Come on Dan! Make him serve out!

The vet seemed to think I let the dog roam the streets to get hit by passing traffic. He was a bit scary.

kazza

Jane vets are strange. I'm yet to meet one who isn't.

Vamos Rafa! Nice and speedy.

Well, once again, I panicked early on- and it all came good.

sorry kazza
I think Dan would have beaten anyone else though.

Bugger!!

Go Rafa!

Jane it was quick in the end. I was worried it would go on for hours

kazza - Dan can win in Miami Rafa isn't playing, I'm not fussed who wins

Greg still winds me up!

Thanks Raahh
