I wonder if the remaining men's matches will go ahead tonight?

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 16/05/2023 21:03

Coric and Marozsan are starting anyway

They need to sort their scheduling out - I think this match was supposed to start at 6pm?

JaneJeffer · 16/05/2023 21:05

And the telly has been taken over by football

I see Stan won in Bordeaux today Bear

Everyone went home though!

IceandIndigo · 16/05/2023 21:08

Stef’s match is going to start really late if it goes ahead, the women’s QF looks like going to a decider.

JaneJeffer · 16/05/2023 21:10

Long day for Stef.

Good to see that Catherine’s enjoying herself Grin

Can’t be much fun playing in the cold on damp clay in front of about 5 people - even the commentators have gone! Hope the racquet stringers not gone home as well!

Fizzywinegum · 16/05/2023 21:38

Even the umpire seems ready for bed! Marozsan doing well against surfer dude Coric

Fizzywinegum · 16/05/2023 21:46

I quite like this umpire - he’s very British and quite authoritative - he’s trying to explain the rain situation to the (small) Italian crowd but they’re not happy! I think he just wants to go home to bed - he was yawning earlier

IceandIndigo · 16/05/2023 21:50

His Italian is terrible though!

JaneJeffer · 16/05/2023 22:01

It's still saying Stef's match is going ahead Confused

The Tsitsipases make me laugh. I wish someone would make a documentary about them Grin

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 17/05/2023 00:37

Wow Lorenzo just saved four match points

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 17/05/2023 00:45

Well done Stef. Crazy to be playing this late.

Stef giving a shout out to Red Bull Grin $$$

The late matches are no good for me at all- I just haven't got the stamina any more to stay awake for them.

I can't see that it's any good for the players either.

Stef is going to be knackered after playing twice yesterday- and playing so late. It gives Coric a slight edge in the next match - although I suppose they do have a day off.

Holger is the first match on- not the best timing because I will have to go out during it. (No pleasing me really , is there Grin)
I have everything crossed that he can beat Djok. I'm not even sure who the supporters will be most behind, to be honest- unless Djok has flown in his 'rent-a-crowd'.

I've a feeling they will be wanting to see a fightHmm.

(I was wondering, too- has Holger ever actually smashed a racquet on court?- because I'm not sure he actually has- but the way they go on about him like he's some enfant terrible, you would assume he's worse than Bublik for that).
I think his 'indiscretions' have been mostly verbal and the fact he has the audacity at times to look like a sullen teen/man Grin.

Raahh · 17/05/2023 12:04

Just siging in.
I do hope this match lives up to the hype in my head. Grin

JaneJeffer · 17/05/2023 12:05

Of course we have to have Petch talking and talking

JaneJeffer · 17/05/2023 12:07

Come on Holger!
