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,

Anna and her shades doing the coin toss

Didn't realise she is a dame until James Keothavong said it!

Yes let's talk to Stef in the middle of the match

In non-Laver Cup news, Emma retired from her semi-final in the Korea Open with a leg injury. Shame as that’s been her best run since last year. Dan is in the semi final in San Diego later tonight, hope he wins.

Emma has had a lot of injuries this year. Come on Dan!

Just tuned in to find Tiafoe getting Djok’ed. Perhaps revenge for hitting Roger with a ball yesterday? For some reason watching on Amazon I can now only find the version with the ads and the commentary. I much preferred the one I had yesterday, listening to the players chatting during the changeovers was great.

Thats a shame about Emma, it seemed like she was finally finding some form.

Well done Novak. Back to 6-4 for Team Europe

Awkward hug with Borg

Awkward hug with Bjorn 😂

Great minds Jane!

I love how Casper was grinning away in the background!

I think Djok had a little think after last night's love in

Go Team Europe 🇪🇺

Yes well done Team Europe - Djok definitely jumping on the hugging bandwagon!

Well done, great performance from Team Europe!

Matteo is so charming

Matteo is very charming

I bet Roger is thinking shut up Novak - I’ve done my bit already this weekend!

I've just looked at tomorrow order of play. Starts with Berrettini & Murray v Sock & AA who then goes straight on to play Dickovic.
Noticed that Schwartzman isn't playing again although he was there today. Hope he hasn't picked up an injury.

Yes, I have found a tennis thread!

So emotional watching Fed's last match. I know he hasn't played for ages but it's going to be strange without him. I will miss him.

I think Rafa will quit after the French Open.

I love how much more tennis there is to watch on TV compared to a few years ago.

Hello Fluffy - tennis will be strange without Roger - definitely the end of an era

After seeing the emotional state of Rafa when Rog retired I’m not sure if anyone (including him!) will be able to cope when he retires - maybe he will just do it quietly but yes I think the French open would be very fitting (although I don’t really want to think about Rafa retiring )

I missed most of yesterday, and probably will miss most of today too- so I'm glad I at least got to watch the Rafa match.

I feel like Roger has already been 'off tour' for so long, that his retirement won't really make any difference on tour. Rafa is very much an 'active' player- so if he played til June, and then retired, it would leave a hole. MInd you- I am also used to Rafa being off for long injury breaks. The difference is, he always cmes back.

Matteo is playing his 3rd match- which is a lot considering he was originall the 'alternate'.

Matteo and Andy make a good doubles team. I was surprised Matteo said the person he gets on best with on TE is Cam. He's not exactly Mr. Personality.
