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,

Eek! I thought I would have an early night tonight

I'm also battling with Prime going off, so I might just score watch from my bed

Vamos!

NooNoo has made an appearance! Come on Rafa!

Bit unfair Frances has to serve while the roof is closing.

Vamos!

Jim banging on about the rain and the roof again.

Martina ‘we remain baffled’ - what is going on with Rafa’s serve?

Aargh

He's doing a Sascha Fizzy

Good thing Frances can't hear Jim

I think big foe thinks he can win this - oh sit down with your silly ripped jeans!

He's probably right Fizzy

Rafa really not in good form. At least Xisca will be glad to have him home.

Happy for Big Foe. He's so lovely.

Ah well done to Francis - he did play really well - poor Rafa

I do like James Blake - he’s got a nice voice

His girlfriend is frozen in shock

His mom looks like good fun.

Yes Jane - Rafa’s had a lot going on - he can go back to Mallorca and have a nice time on his boat

Now it’s anyone but Kyrgios to win for me

Well done Frances. As something said earlier, at least Rafa won’t have to lose to Krygios.

Earlier they were saying how well Rafa was playing in NY and now he wasn't playing well after all

Yes ice we just need Kyrgios gone and everything will be good!

"My peoples"

Catherine that's Cam

Just woken up and seen the scores - I only lasted two sets last night. So disappointed Rafa’s out! Pleased Iga made it through. Surprised to see two matches still going on - gone to a fifth set in Sinner’s match and Alcaraz/Cilic have only just started their second! At least there is a bonus to having woken up this early.

I fell asleep. The commentary was getting on my nerves. I am sad Rafa is out, but now he can concentrate on recovering better. I wonder if he will play the Laver Cup?

I've been watching bits of the cilic/ Alcaraz match. Can't believe it's still going on!

Well done Big Foe! Really pleased for him.
