Grigor deserves to win tomorrow. He got to the final without any fakery

Exactly, no 20 minute loo breaks, fake injuries, just good, proper tennis.

Even if his kit is dodgy. Can't have it all Grin

Boo! Again I’m glad that I managed to miss most of the match last night - can’t be doing with Djok and his fakery/cheating

I’m not going to be able to watch the final but really hope that Grigor can at least give Djok a hard time and would really love to see him win but don’t think realistically that will happen. Grigor was so happy with his win yesterday - hope he doesn’t feel like he’s done enough just to get to the final

The fireworks were a bit of a damp squib last night (literally) - some were so soggy they wouldn’t light - of course it’s dry and sunny here today Hmm

Was watching a bit of PHH at Metz. The commentators seemed to be sponsored by the tourist board.

Come on Grigor!

Raahh · 05/11/2023 14:05

Just turned the final on- they seemed to have ditched Greg since the other day. Maybe everyone had got tired of listening to him Grin.

I wonder which body part will be ailing Djok today? Hmm

I think Grigor will be really popular with the crowd, more so than a lot players Djok faces in these circumstances.

It's very noisy there.

The fruit bowl contents are pathetic- they could have got a stunt pineapple for the final.

I love a stunt pineapple Grin

Raahh · 05/11/2023 14:12

Hamstring tear. Yes, of course he had a hamstring tear.

Stop gurning you plonker

Tactics

Raahh · 05/11/2023 14:29

We're only on game 3, and I have already lost count of how many times one of them has mentioned when Grigor last won a title.

These two are obsessed with pointing out footballers in the crowd. I don't know who they are, and I don't care Grin

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 05/11/2023 14:46

Unless it's the yummy Robert Pires I don't want to know either Grin

JaneJeffer · 05/11/2023 14:46

Shite

Raahh · 05/11/2023 14:54

Grrrr.

Come on Grigor!

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 05/11/2023 15:06

Oh fuck off

Raahh · 05/11/2023 15:06

Eurgh.

OP posts:
Raahh · 05/11/2023 15:07

Grigor should take 13 minutes. Apparently, it's allowed. And then get a medical time out.

OP posts:
Raahh · 05/11/2023 15:39

I can see where this is heading.

I won't be sticking around for the speeches.

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 05/11/2023 15:49

Me neither

JaneJeffer · 05/11/2023 15:50

The women's final has been interrupted for ages

JaneJeffer · 05/11/2023 15:51

It's rescheduled for tomorrow

Raahh · 05/11/2023 15:52

Damn.

But well done to Grigor for getting so far.

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 05/11/2023 15:53

Yes well done Grigor

Raahh · 07/11/2023 14:35

I had some time off from tennis Grin- and caught up on some scores- congratulations to Iga ,who proved that wearing a red dress didn't ruin her chances at the WTA finals. A typical Iga final- she thrashed poor Jess Pegula 6-0 6-1.

The organisation of the finals has come into stick (again) , as it is overlaps with the Billie Jean King Cup- it has meant some player who qualified for both, have had to chose one over the other, or cut it fine to make both.

I just thought everyone was in a deep depression after Djok’s win Raahh Grin

Well done to Iga - apparently some players are having real difficulties getting from Cancun to Seville with one player asking if anyone could loan them a private jet Hmm so no not great planning!

I’ve just switched on the tennis - it’s from Moselle - just in time to see our Fabio win against Seyboth-Wild (I’d forgotten about him!) Domi is playing in a bit and someone called Harold (who I’ve never heard of Grin)
