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.

I had to go out- well done to Bublik. I think a lot of players start to look like thwy are suffering by the end of the year.
I'm now watching Doctors for a bit .

Watching Andy vs Demon, who is almost clean-shaven and looks very young as a result! Andy doing his best to lose from a winning position again
Bloody Greg and Petch talking shite commentating

Feel so sorry for Dan and his absence is a big blow to the GB Davis Cup team

I have Karen Hemsworth and Max Purcell- who is keeping up the Aussie tradition of dodgy facial hair -and curly looking mullet under his cap .

Oh ffs! Murray serving for the match at 5-2 and gets broken, now having to serve again at 5-4. Didn't he lose to de Minaur in China recently from 5-2 up in the third? I blame Greg and Petch for saying he couldn't lose from a double break up

What was that Andy?

Eek

Well he fucked that up completely

Ain't that the truth Jane* *

Jesus Andy!

He had several set points in the first set too.

Alex will win this 7-5 now!!

Well done Alex

That umpire has the eyes of a hawk

Bloody ridiculous!!!

Oh dear

ADM is just a giant banana skin for Andy.

I think Andy is a banana skin for Andy Ice

I am very confused by the Paris schedules. I am in no rush to see Djok- but it looks like he might be playing tomorrow now? in singles, but doubles today. Although ADF is playing again today. As are Bublik and Karen. Carlos is playing today though- so not sure what changed.

Domi beat Stan last night - I think Stan had match points at one stage.

Yes it is confusing Raahh - when I last looked at the schedule it didn’t look as if there were any matches being played at all on Wednesday

Also why were Stan and Domi playing so late last night?

Hopefully I’ll manage to avoid Djok although he was on the news presenting a football award - wish he would just go away!

Andy Murray has said that he’s not enjoying playing tennis at the minute - I just wonder how long he can carry on especially if he’s not enjoying it (and he’s not much fun to watch either)

I remember complaints last year about the schedule in Paris, and matches ending up being played really late night/into the early hours (I vaguely remember staying upto watch one- back when I had the stamina!).
I think Greg mentioned something about it yesterday (when he wasn't waffling about Djok). He wasn't surewhy they didn't start some of the matches on the main court earlier.

And why isDjok turning up to the opening of an envelope these days? How does he know Rita Ora ? Why doesn't he just get lost ?

How does he know Rita Ora ?
They're both former Yugoslavians so maybe there's some connection there?

I feel like I haven't seen Carlos play for ages!

That's true- I forget that.

Plus Rita is just as irritating as he is. So, like attracts like .

JANE <yells> Talking- indirectly- of shit music shows

THE VOICE IS BACK.

I think it's this weekend . But I'm not sure. And I will probably fall asleep before it even starts, because it doesn't start til about 8.30.

<end of public service announcement>

I don't think I've ever managed to watch a full series of The Voice. When is the Masked Singer back? I'm really going to miss the wigs programme but mostly it's the thread I'll miss

The Masked Singer usually starts at New year. I will miss the wigs as well- apparently Olly is the new judge on TMS, now the wigs have been ditched.
Stay Cheeky .

I put Sascha on and it's flipping Greg again
