Uninspired title but looking forward to the new year.............. as long as a certain cock does not win 'em all!

Love a good grudge match Grin

kazzaD66 · 13/03/2023 23:12

Well done Stan! Saw the last point of the match with the sound off. What was that at the net at the end??
Emma has just won aswell.

JaneJeffer · 13/03/2023 23:14

A throwback to Paris kazza when Stan called Holger a baby

JaneJeffer · 13/03/2023 23:16

Well done Stan

kazzaD66 · 13/03/2023 23:23

I'm afraid Rune has always struck me as a bit of a brat. Harsh, and I know he's young and he's probably a great bloke, but that's just the way he comes across the few times I've seen him. Wasn't there a bit of needle with Ruud aswell? There's only been one match I've been pleased to see him win.....Wink

JaneJeffer · 13/03/2023 23:36

I like him. He's a bit of a firecracker but all in the name of tennis Grin he has a good heart!

I haven’t had chance to see any of the IW tennis yet. Pleased to see Emma win although looks like she’s facing Iga next so I think that will be the end of her run! Shame Andy lost but a good win for Jack.

IceandIndigo · 14/03/2023 09:05

He is a brat kazza, although I’m prepared to cut him some slack for still being a teenager, plus the fact he beat Djok in Paris Grin Glad Stan won though, definitely no love lost there!

Jack and Emma both meeting the top seeds in R16.

kazzaD66 · 14/03/2023 14:47

Seen a quote from Stan when asked about the 'conversation' at the end of his match.

"The only thing I can add is that he is a young player, a very great champion with enormous potential. But he is making a reputation in the locker rooms that one day he will regret." Blush

Lovely clip/photos of Andy and Jack at the net after their match.

I’m not really a fan of Rune either - I know he’s only young but he is a bit of a brat - he’s also very fidgety (which I suppose is a bit weird coming from a Rafa fan Grin) - I’m glad that Stan won Bear

Emma and Jack have both got tough opponents in the next round - think they’re both playing in the early hours of the morning (UK time)

I've entered a competition to go to IW next year - it could be me sitting there with a pizza box on my head on the emoji cam!

I’m sure I didn’t imagine the emoji cam but I haven’t seen it since I mentioned it!

kazzaD66 · 14/03/2023 16:28

The thing is though, we all say....oh, Rune is young, as if that's a reason or excuse. But he's actually a week older than Alcaraz, who has already achieved more and, to the best of my knowledge (limited, I know Grin) has always behaved extremely well, on and off the court.

Yes, two very tough matches for Emma and Jack.

Ooh, good luck with the competition fizzy* *

Fizzywinegum · 14/03/2023 19:21

Thanks kazza Smile

Zverev has just taken the first set against Daniil who is ranting about the court - he says that it’s a disgrace as it’s so slow and he’s going to piss as slow as the court on his toilet break Grin - he’s still in the bathroom!

luckily it’s the cool, unflappable umpire not Mo who’s having to deal with him! Oh he’s back now!

Fizzywinegum · 14/03/2023 19:24

DS1’s GF has come for tea - she’s brought wine 🍷 Grin

kazzaD66 · 14/03/2023 19:28

Result fizzy! She* *sounds like a keeper Grin

IceandIndigo · 14/03/2023 19:58

Didn’t Medvedev make the exact comment earlier in the week? I kind of enjoy his grumps.

After finally shaking the endless cold DH and I now have Covid, joy!

Ah Danill Grin

JaneJeffer · 14/03/2023 20:01

Oh no Ice I'm raging because I've got a horrible cold. Seems to be a monthly thing now Angry I can't wait for summer.

IceandIndigo · 14/03/2023 20:07

It’s grim, isn’t it Jane. The weather’s been so awful here too, I’d settle for spring, let alone summer!

IceandIndigo · 14/03/2023 20:20

Is Daniil really going to continue this match? Don’t think his ankle is right.

JaneJeffer · 14/03/2023 21:41

Just checked the scores and see he won!

IceandIndigo · 14/03/2023 21:49

It was an epic match! Well done to Daniil. Sacha looked absolutely gutted at the end.

Fizzywinegum · 14/03/2023 21:53

I had to be sociable so missed most of the match but every time I watched it Daniil was either complaining about the court or having some sort of treatment but he still managed to win

Just watching a bit of Norrie - it looks as if it’s another mo/Robbie combination - hopefully Annabel will talk some sense

Hope you feel better soon Ice and Jane - I also seem to have had the never ending cold

IceandIndigo · 14/03/2023 22:15

Norrie going well and has a very favourable draw from here, particularly if Medvedev has to pull out.

kazzaD66 · 14/03/2023 22:43

Good win for Norrie. I saw the last point. They cut the feed midway through his interview! I know he's not the most dynamic personality, but rude nonetheless Grin

JaneJeffer · 14/03/2023 23:08

Im surprised you noticed kazza
