Tennis: US Open - hoping for a happy ending

[JaneJeffer]

I have to do everything myself around here

Chicken chow mein Raahh

Roger was given a presentation the other day. I'm not entirely sure why, it's not like it's one of his most successful events or anything.

I couldb't hear what Andrey said-saw him go over- but the umpire thought he was a bit 'aggressive'

I would be very worried about offending someone by accident!

Is this the man who made Roger and Rafa speak Chinese at the presentation? Roger could barely hold the laughter in when Rafa had to say something.

Poor Andrey, look at that face 🐶

Poor Rafa. I miss his interviews.

Poor Andrey, he looks distraught.

Those flowers are beautiful

That's a pretty tame trophy. Quite disappointing really . Flowers match his top.

Bossy, this bloke.

Don't make him speak- he might cry!

I'd forgotten they played doubles together.

They are both so nice.

Happy birthday Hubi's grandma

These trophies could be used as weapons

Oh dear I’m not really sure they want to capture the moment of Andrey nearly bursting into tears

Poor Rafa being made to speak Chinese

The skyline of Shanghai looks so cool

I've just been saying to Dh, that it's 10 years next month since Ds went to Shanghai and Nanjing. The whole thing seems a bit surreal now- he was only 10!

Ds got me a postcard of Shanghai at night- never posted it, it was 2 days before he came home . it was on my old fridge for ages then disappeared.

That's a bit of a strange school tour Raahh

Oh, it was, Jane. It was not the usual type of trip for a primary school around here.

I think really the whole thing was just so the head could get himself a job in China

Tokyo is on Prime this week- I had forgotten it was a 500 tournament and wasn't expecting it to be on.
Sascha had a rough start, lost to Jordan Porn-tache. (didn't see it, so don't actually know the facial hair status of Jordan at the moment).

Felix AA is playing Vukic, is a set each- both went to tie breaks, but Felix has the upperhand now. He really will want to get some wins under his belt.

Well done Felix- definitely glad to get that done, I think .

Taro Danilel is 5-2 up against Shelton.

I had plans to do something useful this morning, and then I sat down

Thanks for the updates Raahh - I keep forgetting that the tennis is on! I prefer a bit of afternoon tennis watching

I listened to the Tennis Podcast yesterday and there are rumours of Rune and Boris working together - apparently they’ve been spotted together in Monte Carlo …

I saw the Boris rumours- very interesting if they are true- and very like Holger to go for a slightly controvesial choice,if so. .

Good win for Diego against fellow Argentinian Cerundolo.

Just catching up on scores. I see Draper ran de Minaur very close.

I’m now watching tennis! DH is WFH - he will not be impressed
