Tennis: Come on Dan! Or ABD!!

[kazzaD66]

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

Well, after getting to the tie break, (and lost) Casper has gone walkabout in the second set, and Jordan is well ahead at 4-0 up.

Disappointing loss for Casper.

It really is. He had one good match over the Laver Cup weekend , but recently has seemed a bit off his game.

I've not seen any tennis but I've seen videos of Carlos and Coco dressed up in traditional robes and Stef and Holger having some sort of drum off (Stef was taking it very seriously )

Poor Casper's not really been right since he was poorly in Paris

Jannik appears to be commanding an army of carrot men now!

That picture of Jannik the Carrot Commander is very scary .

Fizzy no, Casper's results since RG have gone from bad to worse.

Tennis seems to be getting weirder

What is even going on in that image of Jannik with the carrot warriors? It’s a bit sinister!

Matteo had to retire from his match in Tokyo after winning the first set

Oh no, what a shame, he's been playing so well! Do you know what was wrong?

Looked like an abdominal injury kazza.

Poor Matteo - he hasn't had much luck at all recently - I've not really been following or watching any of the current tournaments

Just seen that Maggie Smith has died

I was very sad to read about Maggie Smith[sad}- she is one of those people who I just imagined would be around forever. Amazing life though,

Poor Matteo- every time he seems to be getting somewhere, he gets injured ends up out of action for ages. I really isn't fair.

I have been watching bits of matches. Can't get my head around the times it is on.

Was not happy to read an article that said the recent poor results from some of the top contenders for the tour finals means that Djok (who was in the running to be there, but currently 9/10th in the race) would have a much better chance of making it now. Was looking forward to him not being able to be there.

Yes it made me sad as well Raahh - she's in a few of my favourite films and I too thought she would just always be around

It made me laugh when she was asked about Downton Abbey though - I don't think she'd ever watched it

One of her last appearances would have been Wimbledon - she was often seen in the royal box.

I think I'm a jinx on Holger

Keith is enjoying having a home crowd, Jane.

Andrey is playing ADF- ADF could do with a win.

This is a really enjoyable match. Keith and Holger's playing styles are quite similar.

I disappeared for a shower- but I'm glad Keith didn't give up after losing the second set.

I always get confused by this tournament, I assume it's indoors, so when it rains and they cancel matches I never understand why

What's up with Holger?

I think what’s wrong is mostly he got broken and he’s not happy about it.

No, doesn't look in a huge amount of pain- more like he wanted a stall in momentum and whinge.

And I like Holger!

Yeah I like him but he’s not beyond a certain amount of gamesmanship.

I think Keith was chatting to his box during play or something. Just Holger trying to get his energy up by having a little rant I think

Got to go out now, it's dd2's birthday, we did lunch and the cinema yesterday- but today she's making me spend her money. .
