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 I saw that- and my first thought was 'wonder what he's doing with the car park '

Maybe they will name a drink after him. Nothing too flashy.

A pint of plain (as we say in these parts)

I always think, if Tim and cam had been playing at the same time they would have been a really dynamic doubles pairing

to Tim buying a pub and to the exciting doubles team! Although, I do like Tim's very dry sense of humour, which I'm not sure Cam has And don't forget, Tiger Tim has been defaulted from Wimbledon (which is more than you can say for most of the f*wits that should have been but weren't )
Is he renovating the pub? I bet he's itching to get out his Bob the Builder tool belt and hard hat

Danmust be fuming with himself, losing both matches in Japan. Especially the singles. He served for it and was at 40 -0 and then had a further 3 match points in that game and didn't get one of them!!

Poor Dan

I don't think we could cope with such a dynamic duo

I agree kazza Tim is very funny but Cam keeps his sense of humour well hidden!

Cam's shorts over the summer were quite amusing.

And yes, Tiger was defaulted when others have got away with all sorts. I wonder what he really thinks when he's trotting the party line about how amazing Kyrgios is, and Kyrgios is spitting/swearing and generally being a dick? he must think it's a a bit unfair.

I can't even remember his shorts. I don't know what kind of mental block I have with Cam

When I say amusing they had an ususual pattern for Cam. Not pictures of Homer Simpson, or anything.

Cam’s shorts were quite jazzy (for him anyway!)

I like the sound of Tim’s pub - I think he’s a bit of a wine connoisseur but yes he needs to get on with finishing the underground car park at Wimbledon

I’ve just read the article from the daily fail - Tim had a 12 hour drinking sesh on his last birthday

I was hoping it was going to be called The Henman Arms

Fizzy is Tim trying to change his image?

Possibly Raahh - although he was drinking champagne

12 hours to drink a glass of champagne

See, 12 hours nursing 1 glass of champagne, I can believe.

Rolling about legless after 12 hours and a few bottles- less so

Baby Nadal has arrived. I think they have called him Rafael!

They obviously thought long and hard about that Jane!

Lovely news though.

Aww, how lovely- I hope they are both doing well. Baby Rafael.

I have finally caught covid and have just spent 2 days wondering what day it is. I was convinced I was just getting a migraine.

Hope you feel better soon Raahh

Ah that’s lovely news about Baby Rafael - hope that mum and baby are doing well and we see some pictures soon!

Hope you feel better soon Raahh

thank you Jane Fizzy.

I can't tell if I am feeling better or not. I keep thinking I'm feeling a bit better (at least the headache is going away a bit) and then I just feel wobbly and sick.

I've just remembered RBA's son is also called Roberto. I don't think it's a Spanish thing, though- Ferrer named his son Leo (along with a bunch of other tennis players).

Looks like Emma has parted ways with yet another coach - although this appears to be Tursunov’s decision rather than hers. It is getting a bit ridiculous though, surely she needs some consistency.

Yes Chessie I saw that and thought it was ridiculous but, as you say, it looks like Emma was on the receiving end this time.

Good win for Andy yesterday against ADF.
Glad to see that the Australian Open have said it's not their place to lobby the Australian Government to allow Cock back in early.

Hope you're feeling better Raahh. I* *too have covid! DH caught it from his boss and thoughtfully passed it to me! Coincidentally, DS caught it at fresher's week, so missed his first week of lectures. All three of us had dodged it for all this time!! Bah humbug!
