Hi Grouchy is it just the deadpan expression?

It is that. Grin

And the shape of his jaw and nose.

It's always amazing how Djok's injuries and surgeries never bother him when the big stage beckons, Jane.

But the excuse is there- in case he does lose.

He turns up with his neck brace/knee bandage/ tubigrip on hamstring- and still manages to win.

it's miraculous.

He's a dick.

GrouchyKiwi · 02/07/2024 20:11

He's a dick.

And theres's also that, Grouchy Grin

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 02/07/2024 20:19

The rent a crowd are annoying, it's like they're at the football not the tennis.

Raahh · 02/07/2024 20:20

No-one cares about Djok, Mac.

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 02/07/2024 20:27

Oooh Dan Evans isn't happy! He's just told the court supervisor he doesn't care about the players!

Raahh · 02/07/2024 20:30

Shutting the roof?

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 02/07/2024 20:36

I think Evans is going to blow this match 😐. He wants the umpire to suspend play for the day as the grass is damp under foot and they're insisting on playing on.

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 20:38

They'll probably end soon anyway if it's getting dark there. Tabilo is a tricky opponent.

I'm score watching

kazzaD66 · 02/07/2024 20:40

Haven't had a chance to watch today but it's bloody ridiculous that about 7 matches are cancelled now but No1 Court is sitting empty and has been for quite a while Confused

IceandIndigo · 02/07/2024 20:41

I’ve been half watching Jack’s match while trying to do other things. I can’t work out if Jack is playing worse than expected or Ymer is playing better.

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 20:41

Goffin is a set up. Machac probably wishes he was playing Murray!

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 20:42

Come on Keith!

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 02/07/2024 20:43

I get a feeling the umpire is now just being a dick to Evans, as he's now saying he thinks the light is okay to keep playing.

Raahh · 02/07/2024 20:47

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 20:41

Goffin is a set up. Machac probably wishes he was playing Murray!

I thought the same when I saw the score- poor Tomas! Grin

(though I am quite pleased David got to play).

Machac is a decdent player and is only young, he will get more chances.

Seems a waste of a roof, doesn't it?

MirandaWest · 02/07/2024 20:50

I can’t understand why Court No 1 hasn’t been being used.

It’s stupid isn’t it. They could have got another match done by now.

kazzaD66 · 02/07/2024 20:51

Just a waste of a court, with or without a roof Raahh. Certainly, a roof would allow another couple of hours play, so they could have probably have got two women's matches done and dusted!

Come on Jack!!

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 02/07/2024 20:53

They've just suspended play, Evans was rather happy

Raahh · 02/07/2024 20:53

Well, quite, kazza- scheduling at the slams seems to be a bit of an issue all round.

Jack is not hanging around in this last set. Come on Jack!

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 20:54

I don't understand how some matches are carrying on. Either there's not enough light or there is!

kazzaD66 · 02/07/2024 20:54

Maybe I should have put the tv on earlier. Draper has suddenly found another gear since I tuned in Grin

Exactly! When you look at the other outside courts half had stopped play for the night. They're really trying to get as many matches played as they can.

kazzaD66 · 02/07/2024 21:03

Scheduling at any tournament seems complete bollocks half the time, these days Raahh. As* *we've discussed, ad nauseum, just put us in charge Grin
