Tennis: Clay Swing Continues - check your altitude

[JaneJeffer]

That's nice. Well done Andrey and Karen.

I think there's football on so I might not get to see the next match

I am not sure I will stay awake for another match.

Greg said 'altitude'

Bingo!

In doubles, they play a champions tiebreak instead of a third set, so first to 10 points, not seven.
Still haven't seen any tennis this week but keeping up to date with your amusing musings

Bad luck for Emma but hopefully this sorts everything out now and she can come back stronger.

I see Andy beat Monfils in their Challenger match.

Thanks for the tiebreak explanation kazza - the doubles one always catches me out!

Poor Emma - hopefully she’ll be able to recuperate properly - looks as if she’ll be out for a while

I'd heard that Gael and Andy were going to be playing each other in a challenger event - somewhere in France I think

Oh no on breakfast telly they’re talking about Djok now being allowed to travel to America - boo!

Looking forward to watching Stef and Struff later on

I don't watch enough doubles to keep up with the slightly altered scoring rules -so when I do, I get confused .

I keep thinking it would be ironic, if Djok end up with an injury that means he won't play the US anyway. But that is probably wishful thinking .

Oh yes that would be bad wouldn’t it Raahh

Delicious irony Raahh
We* *can but hope (he'll find a way to play, though. Probably by hugging a tree or something!)

Looks like Karatsev has this in the bag

🍻

I like the idea of beer for recovery - could be a slippery slope though …

Love Maria's side eye at Aryna

Nobody knows the answer to the altitude question Greg!

Mo is having a great time with all these challenges

You ok hun?

Well done Karen and Andrey.

Rojer wins outfit of the tournament for me.

Catherine sounds wheezy

Maybe it’s the altitude!

Oh dear - wonder what’s up with Stan?

Ugh. Just spent 2 and a half hours at dd2's year 7 parent's evening.
DD1's school did them online- 5 minute appointments that just cut off. Whole thing over in 40 minutes. It was bliss.

This was a chaotic shambles and my head is mush. I am no more clear about what DD2 is doing at school either.
So, I've missed all the action this afternoon.

Oh I hated those things Raahh. I make DH go to the secondary school ones because the school is near his work and I did all the primary ones!

It was just grim, Jane. I'm none the wiser as to whether she is actually learning anything - but she's a pleasure to teach, apparently. I take this as code for 'the only one in the class who doesn't cause trouble'.

You need time to decompress after those things! I always felt like I was trying to translate what the 'teacher language' meant

Oh no Raahh I thought they would have kept them online - I remember it being a nightmare

Is it Struff’s corner who are being very noisy? Or is it Stef’s corner - or both? I think that would drive me mad if I was a player!
