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,

Jane
Matteo will still have great hair.

World wins the Laver Cup looks very Futurama!

I think Tommy was the alternate - as was Matteo- but Roger playing one match and Rafa pullling out, meantt he could play.

I think I share an eyebrow gene with Mac

Poor Rod looks a bit doddery

The McEnroes are very gracious winners. No smuggery.

I'm pretty pleased for TW really. Fritz and Tiafoe have had a great year- and it's easy to forget they are both not even 25 yet!

Jane it's a nice tournament. I wasn't sure about it at first- but really it has grown into a fun event. It's competitive, but a lot of respect between the teams. Lot's of 'friendly' rivalry.

It's nice for them. I'm glad for Alex and Diego too because they haven't got as far as they would have liked this year. I'd still prefer Europe to win though

Maybe they're not playing the other match. I'm sure they did in previous years.

Jane Team Europe were potentially missing a number of younger, fitter players who probably could have won it- Medvedev, Carlos, Sinner.
Sascha, if fit, would definitely have been part of it( but I understand why Fed wanted the big 3 together).

If I'd paid through my nose for a ticket, I would make them play the dead rubber.

It was very enjoyable. I think Sascha is a good cheerleader as well as player when he's there.

They definitely played after champagne last time.

I am very grateful that Kyrgios was not part of all this.

On a winning world team, they would probably claim he won it single handedly.

Sue is on The One Show!

Jane I was coming here to post this. Lovely Sue.

She's not been spending her retirement inher back garden

Her coach sounds lovely.

I'm glad they haven't glossed over the fact the Beeb did shaft her over QoS.

Not a very in-depth interview! Hardly worth her leaving the house for. Looking forward to her book.

It wasn't much of an interview, was it?

And as for Gareth Malone as Cactus- wtf were all the wrestling bits about??

They didn't even ask her about wheelie bin tennis!

I only watch the singing version Raahh but it never makes sense anyway Every time I hear M People I'm still mad Heather Small got voted off so early <yes I am a sad case>

Useless eejits

Heather's clues were so bad! Of all the things they could have said about her. And the dancing one makes no sense. At all.

Sue is going on cruise with Matt and Phil! That will be brilliant.

Is Sue's Cruise going to be on telly? And if it's not called Sue's Cruise I'm going to be fumming!
