Tennis: US Open - hoping for a happy ending

[JaneJeffer]

I have to do everything myself around here

I didn't watch the presentation. I saw him climbing into the stands to hug everyone because it looked good when Coco did it probably and that was as much as I could take.

Is he happy now or thinking of 25?

The security guys were really rough, shoving people out of his way, which surprised me in the litigious USA (poetry)

I can't believe James Marsden was there and they didn't even show him but kept showing us Sting

And he's a far superior singer too

Talking of superior singing Jane (and nothing to do with tennis)- I was shocked this weekend to read that our favourite wig filled 'singing' programme has been axed.

It's a travesty.

.

But we will always have the memory of Scary Eyes Meat.

Oh no, my winter is ruined 🥹

I know! It was the highlight of my Saturday (when TMS finished).

Which is sad to admit

I loved it, mostly because of the thread on here, grr

Oh dear - can’t believe the wig programme has been axed

Did anyone see Mastermind? Someone had Roger Federer as their specialist subject. I got no questions right!

Chessie I turned it on just in time to here the specialist round scores. Felt very sorry for the woman who got 2.

Fizzy on top of you-know-who winning in the US, it was a not the best end to my weekend

Re- Mastermind , I am always surprised by how hard the specialist subject round are- they really do find the most obscure stuff.

Yes sorry Raahh

I remember when someone had Rafa as a specialist subject on mastermind - I think I got about 3 right!

I did quite well on 'Only Connect' this week though- including the music question.

So all is not lost .

Yes, one of the Federer questions was about who his flatmate was in 1996 or something. Very obscure!

I was chuffed because I got the Only Fools and Horses question on Only Connect and neither of the teams did!

Stan and Dominic Stricker are both on the poster for the Davis Cup match against GB this week - they are a very agricultural looking team

You might spot them wandering around Manchester Raahh

Just seen that Simona Halep has been banned for 4 years for doping

Oh no, she is going to be devastated

Oh poor Simona.

Bumping into Stan in town would be amazing!

Apparently she is going to appeal, but it sounds as though the evidence against her is pretty compelling. 4 years is a really long ban!

It’s pretty much the end of her career, isn’t it? She’ll be 35 then which is a bit late for a comeback. It’s sad it’s ended up this way and hard to know what to think really - I was surprised when I originally heard about it as she didn’t strike me as the type (although I obviously don’t really know her!) but as you say Ice the evidence must be strong for them to come to that decision.

Serena is stirring

What's Serena saying @JaneJeffer?

This @Gothambutnotahamster

I don't understand what that means?
