There’s some issue with the line calling system on centre court, Mo is making them reset it.

They had all these problems last night. Not a good look!

Some odd results today.

The audience at the US tournaments is odd. None of them seem to have any interest in actually watching the tennis that they’ve paid to see!

JaneJeffer · 16/08/2024 22:16

I'm laughing watching the clip of Carlos smashing his racquet because before the match started (while I could still watch) the commentators said this is going to be the smiliest match ever Grin WRONG!

I need to check whether I can watch on the tablet instead

Is Gael on a mission to thrash the youngsters today?

Why are they having a big chat instead of showing the match Angry

I love how everyone says Uncle Toni. He's everybody's uncle Grin

So they just abandoned the match because Jack is coming out and they need to talk about it for 10 minutes instead of continuing with Gael and Holger FFS!

Holger is looking a bit knackered

Well done Holger!

Robbie is delighted with Holger but thinks he could serve a little better Grin

I should be asleep but I'm watching the most bizarre end of the match instead! This tournament is crazy. Well done Jack.

Well done on putting in the night shift Jane - sounds like there were some good matches

Gael looked knackered in his match against Carlos so not sure how he managed another three setter a few hours later

Holger and Jack are playing each other which could be fun but it's in the middle of the night

ChessieFL · 17/08/2024 09:27

I saw the end of Gael and Carlos’s match and then watched Aryna and Elina’s match but due to the time difference I’m not managing to see much tennis at the moment.

Sounds like there was a bit of controversy at the end of Jack’s match - something about a disputed point and Jack being blamed (by the crowd/social media) even though it wasn’t his fault.

Well done for the night shift Jane!
I* *watched the end of the Draper match this morning (without commentary) and am still not sure what actually happened Confused

JaneJeffer · 17/08/2024 11:37

I couldn't hear what was being said. Felix was saying something about the ball bouncing under the net out of the umpire's line of vision? The supervisor had to take the umpire's word because there didn't seem to be a replay available. The crowd didn't know what was happening either. Jack said he didn't see where the ball went because he was looking at Felix.

I read that in Ben's match Mo had to make all the calls himself because the electronic system wasn't working and Ben told him he was doing a great job Grin

Bet Mo loved that! Grin

kazzaD66 · 17/08/2024 14:16

Bet Mo KO'd the electronic system himself HmmGrin
Jack is getting a lot of flack on SM for that last point.

JaneJeffer · 17/08/2024 15:06

Jack offered to replay the point so I don't see how it's his fault!

Kyrgios is coming back oh no

The umpire told Iga she can go and have a shower if she wants but Iga is sitting on the floor on her phone Grin

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 17/08/2024 19:10

Iga said they are playing too many tournaments and everyone is exhausted. She thinks everyone will hate her for saying that. It's true though!

Why is it so difficult to see the ball on centre court? Maybe the players can’t see it either, no one seems able to hold serve!

IceandIndigo · 17/08/2024 20:39

Awful windy conditions there.

IceandIndigo · 17/08/2024 21:39

Well done Jannik.
