Jannik had better not be injured.

I had forgotten that the last time Fritz played Djok at AO, it was during Covid- and the 'abdominal strain' that magically still allowed Djok to go on and win the tournament. Hmm.

Raahh · 23/01/2024 12:58

Nooooo.

I'm not having an injured Jannik- much as I love Andrey.

IceandIndigo · 23/01/2024 13:04

The bugs look like crickets, we have them in NZ as well. They sing at night and can be quite noisy but otherwise harmless. In Brisbane there was a snake on the court!

IceandIndigo · 23/01/2024 13:06

I really don’t want Jannik to be injured Sad Hopefully it’s just a Djok style injury!

Raahh · 23/01/2024 13:06

A snake! Shock

Oh dear- Jannik seems to be struggling a bit now.

Unfortunately, a we know, only Djok gets 'Djok' style injuries- everyone else ends up out for 6 months!

Raahh · 23/01/2024 13:08

He needed that hold.

Raahh · 23/01/2024 13:10

Now it seem like Rublev is more affected.

I like both of them, but am swayed (slightly) more to wanting Jannik to win- though I don't want Andrey self- harming on court!

Raahh · 23/01/2024 13:33

Tie break- Jannik seems to have got over his pain- or maybe he's ignoring it.

Raahh · 23/01/2024 13:38

Andrey could lose his chance to get a set here.

JaneJeffer · 23/01/2024 13:40

I have another reason to be mad at Djok because instead of being able to think I'd love Andrey to win I have to think about which of them is most likely to beat him!
HTH Jannik has 2/6 and Andrey 1/6

2 sets to Jannik- was close to 1 set all. Poor Andrey.

I know. It's annoying isn't it?

Not that we need reasons to be mad at Djok Grin

You know you've been staring at the tv too long , when you wave back at children waving on the tv.

JaneJeffer · 23/01/2024 13:47

I have been looking up crickets Ice to see if we have any in Ireland and apparently we do have three species but I can't recall ever seeing any!

I get confused by cricket and grasshoppers.

I don't really want to come across either.

IceandIndigo · 23/01/2024 13:51

Jane the comparative lack of creepy crawlies is one of the good things about living in this part of the world!

JaneJeffer · 23/01/2024 13:54

I'm kind of fascinated by insects (except for wasps - they can fuck off and die). We definitely have plenty of grasshoppers.

IceandIndigo · 23/01/2024 13:54

In NZ we also have wetas, they are the kings of the cricket world!

Feel a bit sorry for Andrey here, the match is more competitive than the score line suggests.

JaneJeffer · 23/01/2024 13:57

Wow they're huge Ice! There's a picture of one eating a carrot which I won't post because I don't want everyone to run away screaming about the Carota Cricket!

OP posts:
Raahh · 23/01/2024 13:57

Now, wasps, I don't mind, or lady birds.

Anything else, I really hate.

It's why I won't watch IACGMOOH.
.

Ice I agree the scoreline doesn't reflect the effort Andrey has put in, it has been odd points her and there. He has dropped his level at the wrong moments.

Raahh · 23/01/2024 13:58

Jannik’s spirit animal!
