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.

Boo!

Boo.

Hope Djokovic is good and tired now

I gave up last night- and woke up to see the inevitable had happened.
No doubt we won't hear the end of how Djok is the best thing EVER now because he will have secured the year end Number 1 spot and all that. Greg will have his 'Novak's BFF' t-shirt freshly ironed, probably.

Djok might as well go home now and just let the rest of them enjoy the rest of the week. That would be nice

I saw a very cute video of Daniil's daughter, Alisa, pushing a little walker down the corridor at the venue- past the massive photo of her dad- she seemed a bit confused as to why it was there . It must be a bit strange for the children at times. I hope they covered up the Djok one, that would give the babies nightmares. Like the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Yes, well, Robbie thinks Holger has ADHD because he fidgets a bit.

Djok doesn't have anger management issues or anything though, he's just expressing himself, because it helps him focus. Or possibly not well. Or tired. Or some other bullshit excuse.

In 'real life' , the person more experience, 16 years older, would be expected to show an example- not act like more of a child.

I hope they covered up the Djok one, that would give the babies nightmares. Like the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
😂

I thought I would watch some of Carlos/Sascha before Doctors- only to be faced with a presentation for Djok becoming year end number 1 as soon as I switched on.
So I promptlyswitched off.
So that was disappointing.

phew I was looking at flash score to see if it had started yet and it kept being pushed back 5 minutes every time I looked. So glad I didn't put the telly on!

I want to watch but I have lots to do and if I leave it then next thing it will be dark and I won't want to do it. Stupid winter. I know I'll end up watching!

Have it on in the background. Did Greg say Alcarazaz? still better than Alcarath

Bloody Djok again

I don’t know what Freg was trying to say Jane but it was funny - I don’t think Prime are as hardcore on Alcarath as the BBC are!

Wish that Djok would just go away!

This is quite a close match - come on Carlos!

Greg not Freg!

Oh Jesus not again

Oh no - hope that’s not too bad for Sascha

I bet that gave him flashbacks!

Yes it was very worrying - hope he’s ok

They both seem to be enjoying the match

Wow well done Sascha!

Catherine doesn't want smug Greg around

Well done Sascha!

I get the impression that Catherine’s not a Greg fan!

Sascha seems to be favouring the mafia look hairstyle- I wonder when he’s allowed to have it cut

I like when he does the half tied back thing but he needs to trim the ends!

Still looks sore though!

Carlos and Andrey have never played each other!

I think Catherine is confusing Sascha with Stef over who is the one with the beef with Daniil!

I ended up missing the whole Sascha/Carlos match. Well done to Sascha- although I am a little torn since it makes the ranking gap wider between Carlos and Djok. And someone needs to knock the smug Serb down a peg.

Greg is very much Team Djok, so I am not surprised he is not backing Carlos, and last night I think it was Robbie who was saying that Djok should have won at Wimbledon .

I can't believe Carlos and Andrey have never played each other.

And I hadn't reaised each that BFFs Daniil and Andrey were on opposite teams (and playing tonight).

I knoe they have played each other a lot, but it mut be tough each time.
