It's quite a statistic, really isn't it Jane. The dominance of the Big 3 is really something.

JaneJeffer · 06/06/2024 17:26

Well done Jasmine

Raahh · 06/06/2024 17:26

Well done Jasmine. She looks very happy.

Hopefully Mirra is not too disappointed.

JaneJeffer · 06/06/2024 17:28

Mirra needs to be realistic that if Aryna wasn't unwell she wouldn't have got to the semi finals!

JaneJeffer · 06/06/2024 17:29

Jasmine is so cute

This is true. It's a hard lesson at that age. She will hopefully not dwell on it too much.

Raahh · 06/06/2024 17:34

I'm hoping it will be a good final. Jasmine and Iga haven't really played each other much - only a couple of times, and not for a couple of years. Last time on clay was 6 years ago. Jasmine can afford to throw everything at it, and hope that iga has a rare attack of the nerves.

JaneJeffer · 06/06/2024 17:35

I think Alize's dress is actually orange now that I look at it properly

magimedi · 06/06/2024 19:24

I've been off line for 5 days as had my phone nicked - don't ask.

Just so happy Djock is out.

Fizzywinegum · 06/06/2024 21:44

Oh no magi - hope you’re ok

I didn’t get to see any of the tennis today but looks as if it was all fairly straightforward

I’m hoping to see some of the men’s matches tomorrow - will be packing for my hols - I remember packing this time 2 years ago when Rafa and Sascha played and Sascha had that horrible injury

It feels strange not watching tennis tonight - I’m catching up on sewing bee 🐝

I’m on my travels for work today so unlikely to see any of the men’s matches today, unless they’re both long matches (won’t be home until 6ish. I don’t mind too much who wins although probably a slight preference for a Casper/Jannik final.

Raahh · 07/06/2024 08:07

Oh magi that 's rubbish! But hey- great news about Djok- party time!
I'm Team Casper, but really just happy it's ABD, so it should be a good day today and Sunday either way.

A Jannik/Casper final would be great- they are both just so lovely (not that others aren'tGrin).

I missed having a night match to watch last night (enen though I moan about them and usually fall asleepGrin).

Looking forward to today, will hope get to see most of the matches.
Hths are pretty even in both matches and in both, there has only been one previous meeting on clay. Fact fans Grin

IceandIndigo · 07/06/2024 10:18

Looking forward to catching at least some of the matches today. Am preparing my bingo card: skiing, Carlos’ thighs, Sascha’s height, Casper’s dislike of grass season, am I missing anything? Grin

Raahh · 07/06/2024 10:26

Ice love the Bingo card.

Grin
ChessieFL · 07/06/2024 10:59

Ice you’re missing them constantly banging on about Djok not being there!

RaraRachael · 07/06/2024 11:34

Sorry if I'm being thick. Watching the ladies semis yesterday - Iga v Coco so seed 1 against 3. Today's men's one Jannik v Carlos so seed 2 against 3.
Surely it should be the same for both?

IceandIndigo · 07/06/2024 11:35

You’re right Chessie, adding unnecessary and irrelevant mentions of Djokovic to the card!

IceandIndigo · 07/06/2024 11:39

Rachael that’s just how the draw works out - the seedings are used to place players in the initial draw, but who ends up in the semis is going to depend on the results of the earlier rounds. The top seed always goes at the top of the draw and the second seed at the bottom, so they can’t meet until the final, but beyond that there’s a degree of randomness, so that the same players don’t meet each other in every tournament.

JaneJeffer · 07/06/2024 11:40

@RaraRachael Djok was the No. 1 seed and he's gone but the players in the semis could be seeded anywhere or even unseeded. They just need to have beaten everyone they met along the way.

JaneJeffer · 07/06/2024 11:44

Hope you're ok magi and I hope whoever nicked your phone gets what they deserve Angry

ChessieFL · 07/06/2024 12:39

Apparently Sascha’s domestic abuse case has been discontinued as he and his ex have reached an agreement. So we’ll never know what the truth is.

Fizzywinegum · 07/06/2024 12:56

Hmm I’m not really sure what to think about the Zverev case Chessie

I’m just watching Mac & Leconte play Chang & Simon - they’ve got a reasonable crowd Grin

I like that Babsi has dressed to match the deck chairs.
She looks very nice.

Mats really need to make an effort. Grin.

JaneJeffer · 07/06/2024 13:27

I have my suspicions about that case. I feel sorry for their little girl. Hopefully that will be an end to it and there won't be any further allegations from anyone 😬

JaneJeffer · 07/06/2024 13:29

Oh I see what you mean Raahh I was expecting stripes Grin
