Tennis: US Open - hoping for a happy ending

[JaneJeffer]

I have to do everything myself around here

I hate tiebreaks

And Daniil has not been serving well.

Djok's serve has been a bit dicey as well

I need to go to bed. I've switched to radio. Come on Daniil.

I've decided, if Djok wins this set, I am giving in and going to sleep.

Although if Daniil wins, I'll never last the distance!

Really want Djok to win! Going to have to go to bed soon though as in the office tomorrow!

Ugh I hate him

Bugger that. I’m going to bed.

Boo! Think I’m off to bed now

Damn.

Humph. Bed time.

Djokovic better win in 3 now because I want to go to bed but I won’t until this match is over! I’ve already made my lunch for tomorrow to save time in the morning. If I could guarantee I could watch a replay of the rest of the match before I went to work in the morning I would, but I can’t so staying up it is!

Not that I want Djokovic to win. But if he is (and I expect he will) then he might as well get on with it!

Don't let him touch you Danill

Why?

Sting is a bit of a wanker I'll grant you, but I loved The Police back in the day, and his voice is still amazing.

I think the outcome here is becoming clear, dammit.

Well done Novak!

Boo!

But also yay bedtime! Night all!

Yay!!!

Ah well.

Palate cleanser - Smiley Starey Albert

Well that was a disappointing headline to wake up to.

😭

I love Albert- though he does look bit like he's advertising 'Comic Relief' and is jut missing the nose, on this.

I don't even want to think about Djok this morning- I certainly won't be rewatching any speeches.

I really need a new laptop. My 'a' and 's' keys are bothing sticking now.

I wasn’t surprised to see the result. It might have been different if Daniil could have taken the second set, and he had his chances. Leaving aside personalities, the match really summed up why I don’t like Djok’s tennis. Flawless, attritional and utterly joyless. And it was a shame Daniil couldn’t bring more to the table after how well he played against Carlos. He seemed to spend most of the match hitting the ball directly back to Djok, and when he didn’t it went wide, or into the net.
