Tennis: Going for Gold à Paris

Medical time out for Danielle

Highway to Hell 🤘

I got confused when the thread ended - made more confused by the fact Eurosport is showing Iga's match against Wang from Saturday . .

Today we have taken delivery of a new remote/Virgin upgrade for new Sky channels coming in August - and it gives me the Sky tennis red button! For free
I can't work the new remote though, and I keep pressing all the wrong buttons and turning things off.

And I will probably lose the remote - and at least I had a spare of the old one

I'm not sure if Danielle plans to play the US Open- but the Olympics is rapidly turning into the tournament where players are playing their last matches.

(But don't say that to Rafa, it makes him cross. Understandably ).

Oh... is she retiring?

You need to guard that remote with your life Raahh I keep accidentally hitting the Sky button at the top of the remote and bumping myself out of the Discovery+ app and it takes me flipping ages to find what I was watching again!

Well done Iga. I don't know what injury Danielle has but hope she'll be ok.

I will probably get a lanyard, and wear the remote around my neck, Jane. otherwise, I will do something stupid like put it in the freezer. Or take it out with the dog.

I can speak to it. It doesn't understand my gorgeous Mancunian accent. .

Yes I have a lot of trouble communicating with my accent

Eurosport seems to have given up showing Olympics tennis 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe Danielle was just excited to see Nadalcaraz play.

Thanks for the new thread Jane

We also recently got a new sky package which includes free Discovery + just in time for the Olympics but I still don't think we've got access to the magic tennis red button

I've prepped tea (there's likely to be a riot as this is the third night in a row that I'll be watching tennis so I thought that I ought to make some food)

Got my Pimms ready as well - come on Nadalcaraz!

This could be a tough one but fingers crossed for a win

This really could be a tough match- Krajicek and Ram are both doubles specialists, obviously- though Rajeev has had his struggles along with Joe this year.

It is nice that Rafa sticks to the same routines, where ever he is , and whoever he plays with .

Eek - the Americans are good!

Vamos!

Thanks for the new thread Jane. Haven’t seen any tennis today as I’m travelling for work. Disappointed for both Angie and Danielle given their retirements.

Katie and Heather have won their match

Yes, well done Katie and Heather. Just saw the final game. Straight sets. Take note, Dandy (although they'll probably lose in straight sets to the yanks!)

Thanks for the new thread Jane

Aargh

oof. Vamos Nadalcaraz!

Poppy 5-4 up against Sascha

Come on!

That's better than

Sascha got the first set

Random than there!
