Hello, Majestic!

I'm relaxing a bit now.

Raahh · 05/06/2022 14:48

(I shouldn't relax, because that's dangerous with Rafa matches Grin)

Fizzywinegum · 05/06/2022 14:53

DH has just said it’s looking easy for Rafa - I just said have you never watched a Rafa match before?

I think my commentary is actually German but I don’t understand that either!

MajesticWhine · 05/06/2022 14:54

Match is lacking rhythm, maybe both players a bit nervous. Rafa is finding his touch now hopefully.

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2022 14:54

Fizzy** they're probably saying this could be his last match! I checked the password and it's the right one so I don't know why it won't work for you. Stupid SkyGo!

Fizzy German, Greek? not a lot of differenceGrin

Fizzywinegum · 05/06/2022 14:59

Not to worry Jane - I’m finding the no commentary less stressful (and I have alcohol!)

Fizzywinegum · 05/06/2022 15:00

I’m making up my own commentary Grin

I hope your commentary doesn't include 'It's his last match' FIzzy Grin

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2022 15:02

Vamos Rafa! I am more nervous than when he was playing Djok and he's a set up!

Fizzy, sometimes there are multiple audio tracks to choose from, if you're on a computer or app. Funny little symbol at the top right?

Why do all most commentators hate Rafa? FFS, why do they always always bang on about his slightest mistakes or lulls?? Shut up you whinge bags😡

Yay, one set up, two to go 💪

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2022 15:06

Thank you RafasLeftBicep - I’ll have a look - I think they’ve just mentioned Rafa’s final match Hmm

Commentators are generally against Rafa for some reason - but we love him!

Raahh · 05/06/2022 15:09

Rafas it's a mystery why they dislike Rafa so much- it's far worse at Wimbledon. Any excuse to trot out the 'list' of early round losses, and they do. Ignore the 5 finals. It's always yes but he lost to Kyrgios is 2014...

Raahh · 05/06/2022 15:16

Thank you Tim, no he's not going away any time soon.

Now Djok, he can get lost. Grin

RafasLeftBicep · 05/06/2022 15:17

I'm loving the little bits of music they're playing as Rafa comes onto court 😆

Maybe Tim was snubbed by Rafa or something? Tim's never as positive about Rafa (unlike all the Fed & Djok sucking up he does). They speak with such relish when talking about his age, injuries, losses. The fake sounding concern they put on😡

JeansAndJumper · 05/06/2022 15:19

Do they dislike Rafa? I always assumed they were trying so hard to be impartial they just sort of over cook it a bit in favour of whoever the opponent is.

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2022 15:21

Yes @RafasLeftBicep "he will be missed" because who will they whine about then?!

OP posts:
Raahh · 05/06/2022 15:21

Rafas it's definitely a Roger thing. I don't thing they have ever forgiven Rafa for spoiling the party and coming along and beating their 'GOAT'. And on clay, making him look ordinary. (Roger is actually not bad on clay at all).
Why they love Djok so much, I don't know- but they tend to only fawn over him now, because of the absence of Roger, I think. If Federer was playing, it would be all about him (like his much heralded 'return to clay' in 2019).

Raahh · 05/06/2022 15:22

VAMOS Rafa- no messing about now!

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2022 15:24

Aargh Vamos Rafa!

Ruud has an unfortunate name, when it comes to crowd chanting GrinIt realy does sound like booing.

I really like Casper. Just not today.

Oh come ON Rafa.

VAMOS

Raahh · 05/06/2022 15:27

I wasn't feeling nervous until now.
