Tennis: US Open - sick as a small hospital

[JaneJeffer]

I couldn't resist, it's something we say in Ireland, sorry

The Carotas must be a bit hot .

I wouldn’t want to be seated behind them, wouldn’t see a thing!

Someone probably told that bloke he looked like Borg when he was 17 and he's been dressing like that ever since

Come on Stan!

Well done Jannik

Stan is knackered

Well done Jannik- Stan certainly gave it a good go.

Well done Jannik.

His hair is wild.

He's no Berrettini, is he? Matteo wears a cap and his hair is always perfect

I don’t think Jannik knows quite what to make of the Carota Boys! He looked slightly terrified at the thought of meeting them in person!

I don't think he likes being the centre of attention

Poor Jannik- no, I think he likes to be a bit under the radar. I'd be scared of 6ft carrots too

The US Open are definitely going to arrange a meeting between Jannik and the Carota boys - poor Jannik!

Well done Alex

Grigor seemed to fade away in his match after 2 very tight first sets- not sure whether it was fatigue or just Sascha taking control. The night matches seemed to go on to the early hours here.

Hoping Ben can take out Tommy Paul- Tiafoe is playing Rinky Hijikata. I think i would like to see Ben play Big Foe next.

Everything crossed that Gojo plays the best match he's ever played against Djok.
Everytime i see hisname, I think of Goody the dragonfish mascot at Barcelona. Hopefully Borna Gojo is better looking.

Gojo reminds me of Ken’s mojo dojo casa house in Barbie

Just hope that he does the job against Djok - or at least tires him out a bit

Tiafoe v Shelton would be very high energy (and probably lots of fun)

I’ve just seen Rublev’s message to ‘Big John’ Isner telling him it’s ok to cry - it’s so sweet - I think Andrey is a good human person (apart from when he’s beating himself up!)

Gauff v Wozniacki should be good later

Last night I was explaining tennis and the scoring etc to DS2’s GF - she was fascinated (I think )

Andrey is really lovely.

Oh heck, now I'm saying 'Gojo in Dojo Mojo Casa House' over and over- and it's all sounding wrong

One day I had all the Barbie songs in my head and couldn’t get rid of them - I shouldn’t have said that - they’ll probably be back again!

I really want to go an see the Barbie film again, and yes- the soundtrack really gets into your head .

I’ve seen it twice! I had the chance to go and see it a third time but thought that would have been too much!

DD1 saw it twice, and did offer to come and see it again for her birthday- but we decided it might be overkill

Grrr. Ben is 3-0 down already in the first set. Come on Ben!

Back on serve, that's good- but a double fault to start.

Can't watch yet but come on Ben!

It's Domi's birthday today

Happy birthday Domi !
Ben has a break for 5-4 and will be serving for the set next.
