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 where do all the pants and socks come from? My lot go to the gym every day so lots of laundry!

Dan getting a bit shouty but he’s gone to a second set tiebreak now

Well done Frances. Poor Diego didn't really get into the match.

Well done to Tiafoe- Digo never really got into that match at all.

x post

Nice timing from Tiafoe- although I probably won't see much of the Rafa match.

Stupid question. Let him go and have a shower FFS. He's knackered.

Dan just won the second set - he’s pumped! He has just taken his trainer off though - is the hot weather causing blisters? Yuk

Well done Tiafoe - hopefully Rafa will be on soon and I’m still awake!

The interviews on the way out must be really annoying for the players.

Rafa dis not seem happy to be asked about his nose. It does look sore.

Is no-one else watching the Dan Evans match?! It's absolutely brilliant! On the edge of my seat. May have to go and pour myself another gin to get through it.

Hopefully Gasquet won’t manage to win tonight after his 17 previous attempts

Poor Rafa’s nose looks a bit sore

I love Dan @BIWI but Rafa's on

Is he still picking his undies out of his bottom?

The figures really stack up in Rafa's favour.

But I take nothing for granted with Rafa.

Not at the moment

I hope I manage to stay awake to at least watch a bit.

I’m also not taking anything for granted and I don’t think Rafa is either but hopefully he’ll come through - I’ll be keeping an eye on Dan’s match as well

I’m happy that I’m seeing the start of the match - the last time I managed to fall asleep 5 minutes before the match started

Did Richard get injured last time they played?

Jane I think last time they played was RG last year. Not sure if Richard was injured.

I'm probably thinking of something else.

Richard looks sweatier than Rafa.

I didn’t realise that Nick was playing Medvedev next - I’ve not seen either of them play yet as they’ve both had night matches - hopefully Daniil will win that one

I really hope Daniil can get the better of Kyrgios.

Wouldn't want to ve the umpire in that match.

I bet Mo is dying to do it.

Richard's girlfriend looks like someone who spends a lot of time at the beauty parlour.
