TENNIS THREAD- We've mowed the grass, and now it's onwards to the hard courts!

[Raahh]

Quite neat timing for a new thread really.

Careful of the bounce back Andy!

DH did mention Matteo looking a bit chunky yesterday Jane (I think he’s just jealous but yes I think he is a bit above his usual weight)

I am also not one to talk (although sitting on the settee watching tennis and drinking wine probably isn’t helping much )

Not looking too good for Murray

Blimey, if that's chunky, there's no hope for me!

Are you spying on me Fizzy?

Come on Matteo!

That photographer behind Petch

Petch seemed to be a bit in the way.

Jane

Are you excited about Eurovision being held in the UK next year Raahh?

Fizzy I am- the circumstances are not ideal, obviously. A slim chance it will be in Manchester- which does have the biggest Ukrainian community outside of London, in the UK. But it will be interesting, whoever gets it.
I love Eurovision

It could possibly be in our hometown as well - I’m worried that my sister (who also loves Eurovision) would want me to go with her!

Not sure if I could cope with that level of bonkers!

I love watching it on telly but don't think I'd like to go! Mind you I don't like going anywhere these days. I could barely stand the supermarket today.

I can only cope with supermarkets early in the morning (when there are not many other people!)

oh, Kyrgios would not be happy at having to hang around for spectators passing out in the crowd. He might seize up in the 5 minutes he is required to wait.

The us open crowd are so annoying - just sit down with your lobster claw whatever!

Obviously I didn’t mean the person in the crowd who needed medical attention!

Jane I'm the same love watching on tv- not sure I'd want to see it 'live'.
The last time I was at the arena was over 20 years ago at a Depeche Mode concert.

Fizzy the umpires spend a lot of time doing crowd control at the US Open- I lose count of how many times they tell t he crowd to 'just sit anywhere'.

See- any seat will do At least there are planty of spaces.

Don't open his microphone

'planty' ?! Plenty, obviously.

Damn, they've switched him on.

Anyone switching on now would think Matteo was losing, the way Jim was going on.

This food and drink thing is a fucking joke!

It is ridiculous- even Jim thinks so.

What was the waiter thinking-Im sure most of them are there just to watch, and the tennis is just a secondary thing!
