That's nice. Well done Andrey and Karen.

JaneJeffer · 03/05/2023 20:25

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!

kazzaD66 · 03/05/2023 23:03

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 Grin

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.

Fizzywinegum · 04/05/2023 07:23

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

Raahh · 04/05/2023 07:31

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

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 Grin.

Fizzywinegum · 04/05/2023 07:56

Oh yes that would be bad wouldn’t it Raahh Grin

kazzaD66 · 04/05/2023 08:25

Delicious irony Raahh Grin
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 Grin - could be a slippery slope though …

Love Maria's side eye at Aryna Grin

Nobody knows the answer to the altitude question Greg!

Catherine sounds wheezy

Fizzywinegum · 04/05/2023 17:53

Maybe it’s the altitude!

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.Hmm
So, I've missed all the action this afternoon.

JaneJeffer · 04/05/2023 19:13

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!

OP posts:
Raahh · 04/05/2023 19:17

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'.

JaneJeffer · 04/05/2023 19:24

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

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 04/05/2023 19:43

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!
