Tennis: US Open - sick as a small hospital

[JaneJeffer]

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

Chessie I know, I hate seeing big champions fizzle.

It's looking bad for Matteo. His dad has come on court.

Took ages for the physio to arrive for Matteo.

His 4th child is called Chapel.

Oh dear. I think he will be retiring.

Ad break?? grrr.

Bloody ads are annoying.

Oh no poor Matteo

Yup. I mean, Kirk is a name, so why not Chapel, I suppose.

But then again, why?!

And now a completely different match! Where’s Matteo gone? I know match is probably over but want to know the final
outcome.

Are they going to tell us what has happened to Matteo, or is this it now? Onto the Svitolina match?

I'm starting to hate Sky.

He's going

Rinderknech looks upset

He's had a really rubbish 18 months or so. it's not fair really, how some players get plagued by injuries.

A fall like that wouldn't have affected Djok at all, probably. With his elastic joints. [angr

He's limping off

Poor Matteo.

I like him, and he seems like a decent bloke . He was also winning the match on merit up to that point- so it's hard when it ends like that.

Poor Matteo I didn’t see the fall, did he injure his ankle? He’s been so unlucky the last couple of years.

I’m starting to feel like this year’s USO is jinxed, like someone has a hotel room full of voodoo dolls.

Oh Jesus they just showed his fall. His ankle completely went over

Ice it looked like his ankle, and I heard a yell (not sure if that was him)- he limped off as though he couldn't put his foot down.

with the luck he's had, that will probably be him out for the year.

It's freaking me out a bit

He's one of those really tall players, who have unfeasibly skinny looking ankles - Sascha is the same- so it must have been horrible when he fell on it.

It reminded me of the Sascha injury at RG- the way he was just on the floor for ages.

We know whose room all the voodoo dolls will be in.

Yes Raahh when he was sockless you could see how skinny his ankle is.

I thought he had really skinny ankles too!
