TENNIS THREAD- US Open heads to the second week. Take a seat. ANY seat. :-)

[Raahh]

I had to sort out DD2- and didn't realise the thread was full.

I think Diego's kit might be green and yellow,

Actually, now I'm not sure.

There are some strange colour combinations this tournament.

Thanks for the thread Raahh - great title

I was trying to post on the other one to say how nice Big Foe looks in his sweaty outfit!

I had a bit of panic when the thread ran out.

Big Foe always looks good. I prefer sleeveless, but you can't have everything (He did just change his top earlier, though)<shallow>

There's a lot of shoe changing going on today.

Ben Stiller is getting more air time than the players.

Every time I see him I think of Kyrgios "do I tell you how to act?"

Tops off time again. They should let him play topless. Less hassle changing every time

Diego explaining to himself what happened

Jane definitely less hassle than changing all the time.

Not all players though.
I really don't need to see Djok strip off.

Had a bit of a look around the scores- forgot the 5th set tie breaks now go to 10 points- thought Rublev had won. Which he still might. Tough match for Andrey and Denis.

Andrey has won. When I looked in on that match earlier, I thought Denis would sneak it.

Cilic has gone a set up against Evans- looks like it was a long tie break.

No-one really mentions that Cilic was a former US champion, do they? And as of this moment, there's only him, Rafa and Daniil in the men's draw who can say that.

2 sets to Big Foe.

It was an incredible match, Denis really should have won but he threw away a couple of service games in the 4th set.

Ice it's always a shame in matches like that that someone has to lose.

Ouch Frances

Thanks for the new thread Raahh great title - I’m still laughing about the umpire telling the honey deuce waiter to sit down last night (I still want a honey deuce cocktail!)

Ive been watching shaggy and Rublev - was a tough one for Denis to lose. Also just watched the marathon tiebreak between Cilic and Evans

Now watching Diego and Tiafoe - I think Diego’s top is yellow - they’re still talking about how sweaty Tiafoe is - I think he’s just slipped on his own sweat!

I'm hoping to see a bit of Rafa but not sure if I’ll be able to stay awake until then - hope he doesn’t have any more self inflicted injuries tonight!

Those bench areas end up looking like a teenagers bedroom - sweaty tops and trainers and banana peel - yuk!

They are a bit obsessed with Tiafoe being sweaty.

I hope he didn't hurt himself.

Fizzy Scruffy lot, tennis players.

They've just said Tiafoe's bench looks like a teenager's bedroom.

<are they spying?>

Apparently Tiafoe is the messiest as well as the sweatiest tennis player - they’ve really got it in for him tonight!

Unfortunately I know all about teenage boys bedrooms- although hopefully they are coming out of the other side now that they’re in their twenties!

I know Raahh maybe they’re watching

Fizzy I know! And he's not even playing a Brit.

My ds is pretty tidy (mostly). He has to be, really, because he does a lot of his apprentice work from home (his 'office' is in his room).

My daughters on the other hand are another matter(well, the youngest especially).

The worst thing about ds is clothes- he has a habit of putting everything in the wash. I've never met anyone wear as many pairs of socks in week.

He also owns more clothes than the rest of us put together (and it's not that he is fussed about what he wears, no real major brands- he just has a 'jeans buying' habit .
