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,

Fizzy the uniform rules annoy me. And poor DD2's is so ugly and badly made. The shoulder pads are huge

I've just read that Rafa was planning some sight seeing after his practice today. I'm sure he will put some pictures on SM of him visiting a zoo or something.

And dd2 can't tie a tie. We've practiced. She's hopeless. It's going to be a fun day.

My nephew has a clip on tie Could your DD just keep her tie tied and put it over her head every time? I think that’s what DS2 does if he ever has to wear a tie!

I saw that about Rafa doing some sight seeing - could be Mr Bean’s holiday part 2 . Hope he doesn’t get his important landmarks mixed up this time!

Fizzy DD1 did that with her tie (don't think it was untied or washed for ages) but DD2's tie is a bit short - and I just know she will just pull it over her head too hard and it will come undone. One of her friends is going to school where they can get a clip on tie. Much better. I don't see the point of ties anyway!

Rafa is a bit Mr Bean on his travels, isn't he? So long as he doesn't injure anything else!

I forgot the Matteo/ADF match started at 4- so I've missed the first set, and ADF won it.

ADF, and his odd socks, is definitely in control of this match so far. He's got a break in the second. I want Matteo to win, though I like ADF.

Umpire telling people to sit down

Casper is due to start his match against Moutet on Ashe very soon.

back on serve now for Matteo - that's better.

This is another good match so far (Mattel/ADF that is!)

I have been having uniform rage today. I have been trying to buy some school blouses on M&S website. It lets me add things to my basket then when I get to checkout it tells me they are out of stock. It did that to me about 3 times then the whole website crashed so I have given up. She will just have to make do with the ones she’s got (she does have plenty but they’re long sleeved and she wants more short sleeved ones).

ChessieI had a similar thing with M and S. They never seemed to have sizes I wanted either.

This match is really good- Matteo seems to gave found his rhythm now.

Casper is racing away with his match.

I have just realised that autocorrect put Mattel instead of Matteo in my post.

I would rather like a Mattel doll of Matteo.

A Mattel doll of Matteo would be great

That's just reminded me I meant to buy some more school shirts on Friday and totally forgot. I had to wash the same one every day last week. Damn.

Love the Mattel Matteo doll idea. Ken who?

These yokes obviously did the trick

I love that
He's having a much easier match today, Ruud, than against Paul (although the last set was a washout).

Just tuned in to Matteo/ADF match. It’s tight!

Looks like it will go the distance.

He really is a mini Boris

Jane his face then really was Boris.

This does deserve to go to 5. I still want Matteo to win- but won't mind if ADF does.

Oh dear- ADF has hurt his knee. He does get injured in matches quite often. Be a sad way to end a good match.

Oh- Moutet is on the comeback trail.

ADF does slide/throw himself around a lot. They were complaining about this in the clay season.

ADF looks ready to burst into tears

Matteo showing no mercy

poor ADF.
