TENNIS- The hard court season is in full swing on the run up to the US Open.

[Raahh]

This match is very up and down.

The more I look at those pictures, the worse they get. I'm not even convinced the one of Danielle Collins is her, actually!

The photos are the gift that just keeps giving Raahh. I’d love to know what the photographer’s brief was, because it takes real skill to make young, attractive, athletic people look that ridiculous.

The Carota Boys have been celebrating Jannik's birthday. Happy Birthday to your DD Raahh!

Sinner’s birthday not going so well, he has lost the first set to Djok’s doubles partner!

Hope your DD is having a great day Raahh.

Oops sorry, it’s not Djok’s doubles partner!

Sinner is out, oof. At least now he can have a nice plate of pasta and some cake.

Marvin is promoting Chris Brown's new album on Instagram which I disapprove of!

Wow! If I ever get to see Stef play I am going to cause a ruckus so he will look at me like that!

Everyone wants Hubi's autograph but nobody has a marker

Ah feck both Holger and ADF had to retire with back injuries

We went out to eat last night and then I missed everything. Very disappointed to see them retire- as 2 of the players who have beaten Djok in the past year or so. I hope they are OK for the US Open and retiring in Cincy was maybe a precaution.

Casper also lost- so all in all it's looking depressingly like Djok's tournament to lose.

Max Purcell though is slowly making a name for himself in singles- he's been very sold in doubles for a while. Hopefully the rise of the 'new-ish' Aussies will erase you-know- who

*solid.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes for Dd1. Think she had a better say than Sinner ( or maybe nor, even losing earned him £££)

Here's the Stef incident with the daft woman

Imitating a bee? Unbeelievable! [sorry]

Disappointing to see so many injuries and early exits. Hopefully it’s just people being careful ahead of USO. I didn’t see the start of Djok’s match against ADF but apparently he wasn’t playing that well? He has an 18-0 record against Monfils though

Unbelievable 🐝

I didn't see Djok. I watched Elena and Jelena.

Now my phone decided it can spell after all!

Stef and Nacho together = hotness overload

That was funny and very bee-zare (sorry)

It could only happen to Stef - at least it was the hot umpire who just shrugs at everything and not Mo who would have ramped up the drama no doubt!

Shame!

This popped up on my insta

aww! That was a vintage year. - with Stefan and his classic SE top

Delpo not fit for the US Open but he sent everyone a big hug 🤗

"Les mando un abrazo muy grande."

Just switched on and WTF is Petch on about? "the known knowns and the known unknowns"

Now Wispa said "his mind is a haunted house"

And while I was typing Petch said "is his mind like a rubber ball in an elevator"

Arrgh Petch and Wispa, the nightmare team

I need to go and make dinner
