All this just to hold his own serve. Sheesh.

Grin Come on Jannik!!
Fizzywinegum · 19/11/2023 18:45

Yes! Come on Jannik!

Me and DH thought that Gordon Ramsey was in the crowd Grin

JaneJeffer · 19/11/2023 18:46

So glad Jannik won that game or he would've been devastated

Didn't his missus just have a baby Fizzy? Grin

Forza Jannik!

JaneJeffer · 19/11/2023 18:50

The crowd won't fall for your bullshit Djok. Just serve the ball!

Grrr.

Fizzywinegum · 19/11/2023 18:58

I’m not sure if ‘Gordon Ramsey’ is Jannik’s Dad Grin

oh no - what a rubbish way for it to end - boo!

JaneJeffer · 19/11/2023 18:58

Ok I'm outta here

Damn.

Well, that is a disappointing end to a year that started with Rafa limping off court.

Hopefully, next year will be better.

But well done to Jannik for getting this far.

I can't listen to the speeches.
(Sorry Jannik).

Fizzywinegum · 19/11/2023 18:59

Me too - at least his children like him

IceandIndigo · 19/11/2023 19:00

Hard luck Jannik. What a shame he couldn’t match his level from the rest of the tournament. Clearly rattled towards the end, will be important experience for him.

JaneJeffer · 19/11/2023 19:00

I hope Petch takes next year off

Not long enough Jane
Make* *it 3 decades. And he can take Robbie and Greg with him!
Didn't watch the singles, obviously. Sinner is too nice (not tactically aware). He should have let Rune win the other day, then we wouldn't be in this bloody situation!

Saw the end of the doubles. Well done to Joe and Rajeev.

Would like to watch the Davis Cup this week, even though we have no chance now, with Dan and Andy out, but really don't want to see or hear anything from or about Cock Angry

ChessieFL · 19/11/2023 19:16

Just caught up with the score - very disappointing.

Raahh · 20/11/2023 20:07

Today was a bit rubbish, not having any tennis to watch. And that might have been the lat tournament on Prime,

Davis Cup is this week, and I think it's on iPlayer (sorry Jane)- don't know about anywhere else.

JaneJeffer · 21/11/2023 06:41

No I don't think I'm going to get to watch.

Don't forget to vote for Rafa your favourite player https://www.atptour.com/en/news/atp-awards-2023-fans-favourite

Grin

I voted the other day- figured, no reason Rafa can't still win even if he hasn't been played for months. Roger probably did, more than once Grin.

Fizzywinegum · 21/11/2023 07:18

I’m also missing watching the tennis Sad - not sure how much of the Davis Cup I’ll get to see

I think that was the last of the tennis on Prime Raahh - on the tennis podcast Catherine mentioned that they’d had their farewell party - that probably explains why everyone was there!

I’ll miss their coverage (never thought I’d say that after their first attempt but it did get a lot better!)

Rafa keeps hinting that he’s coming back soon - can’t wait to see him but also a bit nervous - eek!

Raahh · 21/11/2023 07:33

Fizzy if it was the last event, it does explain why every man and his dog wa commentating. Grin Apart from Wispa, at least we seemed to be spared her last week.

I have grown used to the Prime coverage, and the small amount of Sky coverage i had at the US open did not compare to being able to watch every match. I can't justify a full package <oo-er> though- and no doubt, bits won't be on Sky anyway, and we will be expected to pay for Tennis Tv or something else on top.

I am very nervous about Rafa returning. I have missed watching him play, but the younger playerss have improved so much this year- that it will be harder to come back and match their level. He will give a good go- and I don't think he's expecting much. I just don't want him drawing Djok or bloody Kyrgios in the first round of a slam, and losing. Never hear the end of that. (His protected ranking will allow him to qualify- but he won't be seeded).

I think, for a last hurrah, he should be seeded at RG. Wimbledon set the precedent when they seeded Serena, after her mat leave. (Not that I agreed with that at the time I am a hypocrite Grin).

Raahh · 21/11/2023 07:36

I mean he could end up seeded by right, if he wins everything he enters between AO and June- with a clean sweep of the clay season Grin.

But that's a big ask Grin

JaneJeffer · 22/11/2023 16:24

Never mind the kids, I want this rafaelnadalfans.com/2023/11/22/ace-of-hearts-a-childrens-book-about-rafael-nadal/

I love that - and that they included him in his wellies clearing up the floods Grin.
