Don't know if this will work, but the old thread is complete!

Dh kept telling me to go to the Davis Cup Fizzy -but it all honesty, apart from not being able to figure out the best day to make it work.

I don't get how many women fall for Nick either - wasn't Ajla Tomljanovic with him before she was with Matteo (I mean, that was a serious upgrade).
Nick's exs never seem to have good things to say about him, I wonder why?

ChessieFL · 10/09/2024 12:17

It’s a mystery Raahh!

Fizzywinegum · 11/09/2024 10:15

Yes Matteo is definitely an upgrade! (frankly anyone would be an upgrade on Kyrgios Hmm)

I've got tickets for the Davis Cup on Sunday - I've managed to persuade (bribe) DS1 to come with me - hopefully it will be good - come on Dan!

I'm there Sunday....and might have accidently bought some for Friday was well. Not told DH about that yet, but taking 2 very excited 10 yr holds with me. Although suspect they are more excited about skiving off school than the tennis Grin

Fizzywinegum · 11/09/2024 11:36

Great Stop - hope it's going to be good!

Trying to work out if it's worth risking the train - think it was a late finish last year

Billy 'arris is in the team so he might let me borrow his camper van if I get stranded in Manchester Grin

Fizzywinegum · 11/09/2024 14:43

Come on Evo! Sweet Caroline already Hmm - hope I'm not sat too near the band on Sunday - it's not like Wimbledon!

We're going to train it in Friday but not sure about Sunday as they don't run as late on a Sunday. Think 8ve made the mistake of booking tickets right behind the players so we'll be right behind the brass bands.....oh well kids will love it, I might take ear defenders Grin

I've been trying to look and see if they've got a fan village by urbis like last year but not sure if they do, if I find anything out I'll let you know Smile

kazzaD66 · 11/09/2024 17:21

Well done to both Dan and Billy on their wins!

Fizzywinegum · 11/09/2024 17:35

Well done Billy! (The camper van got a mention Grin)

I think there is a fan zone Stop - I think I saw something on the LTA website - It would be great to hear how you get on on Friday thanks

I'm hoping that DS1 will volunteer to drive - don't fancy having to leave at a crucial point to get the train!

Rafa has withdrawn from the Laver Cup and isn't going to be there in any capacity!

Oh Sad. On the one hand, I'm not surprised (more surprised he ever was) but the announcement is a bit strange and sounds like something has happened, more than just injury/fitness.

I saw that De Minaur and TP have withdrawn from Team world as well, and been replaced by Kokkinakis and Cerundolo. I think the event may be a bit of a let down for some (although Team Europe is still a strong one).

IceandIndigo · 12/09/2024 19:02

It’s weird, he could just have turned up and played one doubles match, like Roger did. I feel sorry for all the people who paid super inflated prices for the tickets on the expectation of seeing Rafa.

Raahh · 12/09/2024 19:05

It does make you wonder what has gone on , Ice - a lot of people will have bought tickets thinking it will be like Roger's swan song, and yes, the prices are ££££ so there will be some very unhappy punters. I'm sure he has his reasons- but it does seem out of character to let fans down, if not for a very good reason (as you say, he could just turn up to show his face/ do a bit of coaching - a lot of fans would be happy with that).

JaneJeffer · 12/09/2024 19:22

It is very strange and he says he was looking forward to it, and he hasn't issued his own statement. Weird.

Fizzywinegum · 12/09/2024 21:44

Glad that I didn't remortgage the house to buy tickets!

It's all a bit strange - wonder what's going

Fizzywinegum · 12/09/2024 21:44

on

IceandIndigo · 13/09/2024 13:03

Looks like Grigor is going to join Team Europe instead of Rafa.

Raahh · 13/09/2024 14:55

That's good news for Grigor.

Meanwhile. Roger has been making a Swiss Tourism ad with Mads Mikkelsen
(which is quite funny, but I can't seem to post the video Grin).

Raahh · 13/09/2024 14:57

Raahh · 13/09/2024 14:59

Give up Grin

JaneJeffer · 13/09/2024 15:10

That's very funny. Roger is a good actor. Maybe he will be the next James Bond like people keep saying Grin

Raahh · 13/09/2024 15:19

I think Roger has found his calling, definitely. He was never one of my favourite players, but he doesn't take himself seriously now he's retired and isn't afraid to do all sorts of stuff.

Video was just missing StanBear and some WineGrin

Maybe he should be the next James Bond, he can ski, he can play tennis, he looks good in a suit- and a naff cardigan. He can drive fancy sports cars. I'm sure there are no end to Roger's talents.

kazzaD66 · 13/09/2024 15:29

I see Dan has just lost. Epic final game!

Is the Davis Cup on telly?

Raahh · 13/09/2024 16:10

I can't watch at the moment but I think it's on iplayer Jane.
