Tennis: US Open - hoping for a happy ending

[JaneJeffer]

I have to do everything myself around here

Well done Holger, shame it ended like that.

He hasn't been wearing his cap Raahh

Oh dear poor Tomas Martin but I'm relieved

oooh- I hadn't noticed that.

(to be honest, I've been more distracted by the shorts)

Haven't we all

I then remind myself he is younger than my son.

He talks so fast

It's fine, we're just admiring the aesthetics with pure hearts.

Jane

Meanwhile in Vienna Jannik is playing like he means business.

I’m not admiring anything here because the rugby is on! - it’s only for third place!

I’m quite enjoying your commentary though

Friday Night Football here. DH Is out otherwise it would be the rugby too.

I'm disappointed that Big Foe is back to wearing sleeves.

I'm still baffled by the ball catcher nets. They don't really seem to add anything . Half the ball kids are still picking up and rolling balls with their hands.

Ha! Robbie is testing Wispa on how to spell Cincinnati.

I always spell it wrong. Which is why I usually put Cincy.

Music quizes are forming a big part of Robbie's commentary in Vienna- he is quite obsessed with the fact they keep playing Gimme Gimme Gimme by Abba.

But I might have to give up watching live because my Prime is playing up again, which is annoying.

I wonder why they don't start play a bit earlier in the day.

Well done Jannik. Will be difficult to beat.

Got the house to myself for a while so escaped from football to tennis. Wispa is droning on.

I've been tuning her out, Jane -she really is quite dull.

Why has Daniil got breathing hole in his trainers? Surely he can afford more than one pair?

Maybe they're his lucky shoes?

Hubi and Ugo are starting soon in Basel- and they have the Mighty Mo in charge, so might pop over to see what's happening there in a bit.

Looks like Daniil is going to take this first set.

Maybe. He's another one with skinny ankles, too.

So many tennis players have such delicate looking ankles
