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.

I'm sure Sascha was very disappointed that it could easily have been his.

The end of the match was a bit mental because fireworks started going off across the road at some kind of funfair thing!

I can't believe they replaced the ugly trophy for an even uglier, less distinguished one!

Oh and Djok seemed to be in a raging temper even when he won! He whacked the ball away really venomously!

Shame he didn't hit anyone, Jane.

Hopefully his bad mood will carry over.

(Obviously, I don't want anyone to get hurt- but Djok aiming at people would get him thrown out. Hopefully.).

Such a contrast to Carlos who has been so good humoured all tournament despite rain and the windy and all the delays. He's just enjoying playing. I think Djok is not and it's all about the numbers, no joy involved.

Ugh Djok is just a vile man

Really hope that Carlos wins tonight - you’re right Jane - Carlos is just having fun out there (and playing some amazing tennis). His attitude really shows Djokovic up - he would have been having a right old strop if his match kept being interrupted by the weather like the other night but Carlos just thought it was funny (being 20 probably helps though!)

I’m watching the women’s footy final - it’s quite exciting!

I'm watching too. Stupid protesters are everywhere this year!

Yes luckily they didn’t delay things too long

My vote for most rubbish protestors still goes to the Wimbledon ones with their centre court jigsaws and orange confetti - they had no chance against Tim’s leaf blowers!

Eek - Spain have scored!

Billie Jean is there

I’ve just seen her Jane - I’m reading her autobiography

Karolina's ice bag

I can't watch at the moment - but has Karolina got an ice bag that looks like a cat carrier??

She just plonked the bag on top of her head

Someone made Tennis TV's post into a meme

Poor Hubi

I have the tv now- and just in time to see Carlos in the gym . Again.

Poor Hubi indeed!!

I think I would find all those blue fan things a bit distracting if I were trying to serve.

They are annoying, aren't they, Ice?

And it's all I can see

Looks like Coco’s got this sewn up now.

Anna Chatvetadze-winner in 2007. Wonder how many people remember her?

I had the same thought!

Bad time to get sick!

Well done Coco!
