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,

Just put it on and the rain is on the way.

Is it pick on Greg day?

Hope they're not going to jinx Rafa!

Jeez he looks great 😍

I think that’s right Raahh (they were talking about it on the tennis podcast - I wouldn’t have been able to work it out myself!)

It’s not looking good for Norris - he’s two sets down to Rublev

Apparently Margaret Court has been moaning because she thinks she’s the GOAT, not Serena - she also said that no one spoke to her at the Wimbledon celebration thing this year - she sounds like a very unpleasant person!

Pegula and Kvitova’s match seems to have taken a long time if it started at 5pm - not sure what time Rafa will be on

Oh maybe it was the rain - sorry I’m a bit behind!

i had to go out- so am only just managing to watch.

Not looking good for Norris, really, but I'm quite glad for Rublev, because he's not had the best few months, he's been a bit out of sorts.

They are a bit mob handed with the commentary- I know it's a Brit, but Mark, Tim and Greg is a bit unnecessary

Well done Andrey.

I hope the change in the weather doesn't affect Rafa. I'm feeling a bit unsure about today- and I wish Big Foe was playing someone else, because I would actually love to see him go further.

I'm not surprised nobody spoke to Margaret Court the old GOAT.

she’s lucky she was invited Jane - yes silly old GOAT!

Im also a bit worried about Rafa’s match - hopefully it will be OK for him - I like Tiafoe but want Rafa to win - I’m not sure if I’ve seen them play each other before?

Well it's going to be a hella sweaty match that's for sure.

I'm sure the sweatiness will be remarked on- a lot
Rafa has played Tiafoe twice- and won both- but it's over 3 years ago (and the last was on clay). So I don't think you can take much from that.

I'm not keen on Pegula's top. Can't tell if it's only got one 'sleeve' or if she's tucked the other one in.

it's wonky and annoying. (And she can definitely afford a decent kit )

Tim is on shadow watch.

Answer properly Martina or he'll give you lines tonight

This should be a tops off match

Jane

Definitely a tops off match

Definitely!

I do like Rafa’s day time outfit though

BINGO

Bingo! Sweat talk from Jimbo!

Yup, we've had sweat talk, and shadows.

We can write the script for these matches

Good girl Martina fire some questions back at him.

Poor Martina. I bet she'd rather be there by herself.
