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,

Yes s I think it would be good if Big Foe could do it Ice - I’m not sure if the pressure would be too much for him though?

I think his family are refugees from Sierra Leone?

Yes that’s right, Sierra Leone. Match seems pretty even so far.

Big Foe needs to pick up his dirty laundry!

He does! Apparently he’s quite messy and is a bit of a chaotic traveller - keeps losing his passport and stuff! I wouldn’t be impressed with that - he is only young I suppose (and fortunately doesn’t need a passport to play in the us open)

Frances is playing very well, amazing tie break- not stopped Greg mentioning Dick though

I had a rent about Greg mentioning Dick Raahh

Rublev seems to be unraveling a bit!

Fizzy it's like they are contractually obliged to mention him. He lost. Get over it.
Rublev looks like he is a bit bothered by the crowd- which is not surprising, it is very loud, and he is the 'under dog' with the crowd.

Andrey always looks so sad. I feel a bit sory for him.

He does seem quite fragile Raahh - I don’t like it when he beats himself up with his racquet

Fizzy I know.

I'm not keen on the square necked tops they are wearing. There is something odd about them that I can't put my finger on.

Fabulous shot there from Tiafoe.

The tops are a bit strange Raahh - I can’t work out if Andrey’s is supposed to be grey or if there has been a laundry incident

Jim was praising the us open laundry service earlier - bet it’s not as good as Sascha’s

Come in Big Foe - hope he can hold his nerve!

I can't bear Andrey's sad face. It's heartbreaking. Looks like he's on his way out. I can't watch because of the football.

Frances goes through so many tops he could do with Sascha around

Wow! What was that little dance?

Fizzy I 've been thinking all tournament that the shorts don't seem to match the top- the shorts look washed out, and the tops are more 'white'

Great win for Tiafoe- but I do feel for poor Andrey.

The dance was funny.

I think I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for JB!

It would be pretty special is Big Foe went on to win the whole thing. I wouldn't mind that.

But I like all the remaining players.

Awww, congrats Frances. Hope Andrey is ok 😥

I'd rather listen to JB commentate than Jim.

Can we swap them?

It would be pretty amazing if he won the whole thing - that might be a bit of a stretch but you never know

Earlier he was just putting all of his sweaty shirts into what looked like laundry bags!

I'm going to do a Jim style quiz. Who is this comment about?

Well, I am not going to be up for the match later-so will make the most of a second dh free night. The dog didn't seem to miss me sleeping on the sofa.

Jane- well, I'd have said Kyrgios- but his accent is probably the least offensive thing about him

Can we have a clue Jane? (Hope it’s not about Rafa!)

Can you bribe them to keep your DH in a bit longer Raahh? (Only joking - hope he’s doing ok)
