TENNIS: AO Men's Final and beyond

[JaneJeffer]

Has anyone heard from private?
Haven't seen anything from her for ages. Hope all ok.

No kazza

Not heard anything from Private for ages - I think we gave her a shout-out a few months ago - I’m still envious of her Tennis ball Christmas tree bauble - hope all is OK

No, I was thinking the other day I hadn't seen her around. I hope she's ok.

Oh no - it’s Munar’s turn to wear the poo shorts! It’s the first time I’ve seen them live

Fizzy they are shocking, aren't they?

Footie is on here. I might have a nap!

I'm watching Holby. I love Holby- it's rubbish, but I will miss it when it's gone.

Yes Raahh I think they’re even more shocking seeing them ‘live’ - think someone was having a joke in the design office!

They really are terrible. If the brown bit was a different colour, then they would have got away with it.

I think whoever passed them as a 'good idea' was on their last day, and is now laughing at everyone.

Yes probably

The first match on the main court took ages- so Rafa's match is quite late now.

And coincidentally, the Sinner/Kyrgios match will probably start at the same time.
Vamos Rafa- and come on Sinner .

Sinner has withdrawn I think.

Jane I have just this second seen that.

Pants!

It means he will play Rafa next (if he wins).

Evening all!
I see Matteo has just lost and Fritz beat de Minaur, so I think Rafa may be up next? Probably won't watch though, as feeling a bit sleepy. Too much vino with lunch today maybe, but it is my birthday so I forgive myself

Only just seen the article on the BBC website that all four Grand Slams are going to trial a final set tie break at 6-6, first to 10 points, with 2 clear points. Starts at RG and continues at each GS over the next year. At least they'll all be consistent!

Kyrgios , that is.

Can't watch now because more bloody football!

What's up with Sinner?

Just says illness kazza. Happy birthday to you

MN is really slow and glitchy for me.

kazza happy birthday!

It is good to make the tie break rule the same across the slams- it's a bit confusing at the moment. I'm not a fan of the champion's tie break though. RG was the only slam without a tie break of some sort in the final set.

I am always thrown by how young Opelka is- he looks a lot older than 24.

Happy birthday kazza

I’ve just seen that Kyrgios got a walkover

Opelka is only 24? - I was sort of expecting him to wear the stain shorts - didn’t he have some cow print ones not long ago (or am I making that up?)

That’s a shame about Matteo - I turned over earlier just as he was changing his shirt - very nice

Fizzy you didn't dream the cow print- that was last year. He had it in different colours

Thank you Raahh - I wasn’t sure if I’d imagined it or not
