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,

They scrub up well don’t they?

Oh, they do

I am envious of that column.

I am loving Roger’s Instagram at the moment 😀😀😀

Hope they find somewhere gluten free for Novak! (Or just make him go somewhere else )

I wonder how the conversation went when deciding where to eat. I bet the rest of them just think Djok is a fun sponge.

Depending on what time the match starts tonight (the match- as in Roger/Rafa) I might miss a bit of it, or have to watch on my phone .

I have a feeling the actual tennis might be a side show to the 'occasion'.

yes I suspect Roger likes the finer things in life (and has probably never had a green juice!)

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to watch ‘the match’ tonight - it could be on late and I’ve got to get up early in the morning to get to the airport! Is it just on Eurosport?

Poor old Casper and Stef don’t seem to have been around much - this is definitely going to be the Roger show - but I don’t blame him really!

So the coverage has started on Eurosport. Jim is involved.
Very annoying voice over woman explaining the rules.

Sam Smith has written off Jack Sock. That's a bit mean.

They don't look too happy on this sofa

I've got to say, none of them look too thrilled to be there.
I think only Tiafoe has properly smiled.

Djok smirked a bit.

I say it every time, but I really dislike the grey court. It makes the players look like it's a computer game to me .They stand out in an odd way.

I've just signed up for discovery+ and was coming here to ask if there was something wrong with my TV but I see someone purposely made the court grey!

I need to sign up for discovery+ aswell. Any free trials or do you have to pay?

Just started following the Laver Cup insta. Some funny stuff on there for those who haven't already seen it. I particularly liked Andy explaining he'd brought a mismatched razor so had to use the hotel razor, which took him a long time. But Roger told him he looked great
Also, Andy introducing Djok at the gala dinner by basically taking the piss out of his dietary habits And Cap'n Rafa joking there were no waves on the Thames boat trip.

Still feeling a bit weird and lost after dropping DS at Exeter Uni at the weekend. Don't mind admitting there's been a few tears

blib since it's not a permament court, not sure why they went for such a horrible colour.

kazza It must feel very strange.

It is odd Raahh
Now* *it's just me and DH
It's stupid little things that get me, like an empty space in the kitchen cupboard where his granola was! (DH and I don't eat it). And doing the weekly shop yesterday was weird because I consciously had to remind myself not to buy as much veg, milk etc now there are only two of us!!

It's the little things, isn't it? kazza ?

Oh- took my eye off the match (waswatching Doctors for a bit) and Sock has turned the second set around. Sam might have to eat her words.

I do like watcing Rafa 'being a coach' -he gets very animated.

Roger seems very laid back, considering tonight is his last match.

It took me a while to adjust to reducing the weekly shop kazza - it does take a while to get used to

DH said that Andy Murray ended up paying for the meal last night

Wish I could watch it

kazza I signed up for a free 7 day trial of discovery+ but you need discovery+ entertainment and sport which is £6.99 month. I don't normally do it for the laver cup but this year is a bit different.

Thanks Blib Ineed to investigate pronto!

I had to got out, so missed the lasr few points of the Ruud match. Glad to see he won, but it wasn't a complete walkover.

And I hav egot back to see Stef win the first set.

Mac was funny earlier, he already seems to bee resigned to Team World coming second best. This time, I'm not sure he will mind.

I can’t get Discovery+ on my TV, it’s too old. I tried the Prime tie in a while back and it was absolutely hopeless, does anyone know if it’s improved?

Dh, dd1 and ds have all come in one after the other and asked if the court is real, or a dodgy filter
