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 just watching a bit of Andreeva v Gauff - the commentary is very all American!

Glad that I missed Stef’s improtu mankini wax

There was a baby crying in Andy’s match last night - I don’t understand it either - surely they could get a babysitter?

It looks so hot and humid in NY - just watching it is making me feel sweaty!

2nd set tiebreak

Fizzy I'm waiting for the woman commentating on the Coco match to say 'like, totally'.

I miss Robbie.

Is that Paula's mother? She needs to start a guess my age thread on here. I thought it was her sister!

Stef got the 2nd

FFS- this is worse than the Beeb- they have now taken off Gauff and put Collins back on.

<grumpy>

Ok, I'm assuming Bencic won then, because the other channel now has Gauff.

It's giving me a headache

Stricker has played some great shots

Stef shouted something at his box and it looked like Paula was asking someone to translate to English for her

It's all Greek to her, Jane.

They don't need to understand spoken language, though- they speak the language of Lurve.

I'm singing Who's That Girl now

I can’t watch at the moment but I just went to thank you all for the mental image of Stef getting a court side mankini wax. It’s making me feel a bit queasy.

You're very welcome Ice I mean I would have no problem whatsoever watching it but I didn't get the chance

<snort>

Coco has won, so that's nice.

All level here

You’re a braver woman than me Jane

Rather him than me

Another tie break

2-1 to Stef

I was very glad to see Elise Mertens win- I have never warmed to Collins.

I do not want to watch Djok, they may put Iga on the other channel, but it doesn't look like they are due out for a while. That one one could more than likely be a short match, too, though.

Ok, so I don't want to watch Djok- but if there are only 2 channels showing matches,( and it's not raining or a break)- then Idon't want a video about 50 years of equal prize money- however interesting that is.

Stricker is not going to go quietly

Wish I could watch Stef’s match. Not interested in watching Djok, or a (likely) easy win for Iga. Don’t they understand that people want to watch high quality contests, not just the top seeds?

They’d better let us have Domi-Shelton after Iga is finished.

Ice I hope so too!

(this will be the rare day Iga ends up in a 3 set epic and it goes on for hours and I fall asleep, won't it? ).
