TENNIS- The tour of Europe continues- next stop- Paris, as we head for the Finals in Turin

[Raahh]

Just noticed thread was running out. So - thought I might be organised for once.

And well done to Joe Salisbury And Rajeev Ram (who have had a rubbish year)but have just won in Vienna.

What affliction will he have this week? Answers on a postcard to Gullible Greg

Thighs looking good

I thought Tim looked a bit sweaty - sorry that’s my only contribution to the tennis so far - I did see a bit of the match earlier but can never get excited about the WTFs - the round robin scoring also scrambles my brain!

Not sure if I can deal with watching Djok later - Gullible Greg

My only concession to watching Christmas films so far this year is watching Little Women - it has got some snow and Christmas in it (as well as war and death )

That job sounded ideal for you Raahh. - if only we could get paid for watching tennis!

"'Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents,' grumbled Jo, lying on the rug." .

Ahh, Little Women.

I always tell myself I won't get sucked into the WTFs, but I generally do, because well, it's tennis, innit- and anything is better than doing stuff. .

It's very much an ABD (anyone but Djok) year though, I don't really mind who wins. I would actually love to see Jannik win it but so long as Beelzebub doesn't I don't care.

Tim and Greg did look quite sweaty. I was very jealous of how chic Dani looked in her silk blouse- she had a 'Gillian Anderson in The Fall' look about her.

I'm going to see how long I put up with the Djok/Holger match- because I do want to watch Holger- but Djok may irritate me too much.

(Have been watching the blatantly fixed Strictly results ).

ooh - I had forgotten the violins . And rhythmic gymnasts. This is dramatic.

Holger pulling his shorts up even in the tunnel

I think his mascot looks older than him.

Not sure how much I can take of this. Will see how Holger is going.

Holger still hoicking up his shorts

I'm already fed up with the fawning. I have decided I really like matches without commentary.

Come on Holger!

Hello Robbie

I quite like Djok’s kit. That’s the only thing I like on his side of the net.

It's a better version of the kits he wore in Paris. I really didn't like the blue or red/pink version.

Yeah I didn’t like the Paris versions either Raahh. But the teal and green is quite nice.

Mind you Ice it's probably deliberate because he must see himself a the 'captain' of the Green group.

He might have worn the red one if he'd been on the other team

Holger wants all the towels

What I don't get, is why the tournaments don't provide white towels with the logoed ones- a lot of time is wasted every match with players requesting white towels!

Aargh

Go Holger!

Tee hee

He didn't win it Robbie.

Come on Holger!

Get in!

Yes!!
