Tennis: Road to Turin, anyone seen Rafa?

Ahh that's shit kazza. Did you have those dissolvable stitches? They are the work of the devil.

Dolphins just give me the creeps with their smiling and chirping ugh!

Frances has been a bit off form lately so you never know. Haven't seen him post anything since his outburst at the umpire.

I had dissolvable internal stitches Jane which* *seem to be fine and then the wounds were sealed with surgical glue and it's that which doesn't seem to have worked (been re-glued twice since op). Yesterday, they used external stitches instead, which will need taking out in 2 or 3 weeks. Something else to look forward to, not!

Poor you kazza sounds awful. Hopefully the stitches will do the trick and taking them out won't be as bad as putting them in.

I bet Djokovic would be easy to glue back together seeing as he's made of rubber.

Hope everything works out for you this time Kazza

Does anyone know what times the Saudi matches are on tonight? Rafa v Carlos will be a weird one - Rafa won't want to push himself before the Davis Cup and Carlos probably doesn't want to beat him (maybe they've got it all worked out)

I was also wondering why Carlos was dressed as a spaceman when everyone else was Game of Thrones. Apparently they kept referring to him as the Sandman but that doesn't explain much to me either

5:30 for the first match and then Rafa is scheduled for 7

Sorry to hear about the drama with your recovery kazza, that sounds rough. I like dolphins as well, sorry Jane! If you swim with them when you’re pregnant they can tell because they have built in ultrasound capabilities, I always thought that was cool.

Dan seems to be going ok against Foe. I’m surprised there hasn’t been more fall out from the umpire incident in China, his behaviour was pretty atrocious.

Thanks fizzy you* *and me both! Can't start to plan radiotherapy until it's healed
Had an email from Wimbledon for their 'Christmas Collection' Chrismasy Wimbledon themed tree baubles, anyone? Can't remember who has the tennis ball bauble
I see Dan won the first set vs Tiafoe, 12-10 in the tiebreak! Come on Dan!!!!

X post ice

Oh no Rafa whacked himself in the knee

Fizzy yesterday, when Carlos was saying he was going to go all out against Rafa, I was thinking that really, he might not want to do that, if he wants him fir for Davis Cup. I know they will have alternates lined up for that, but Rafa is the big draw, so injuring him at this point is not a good idea!

kazza hope you feel better soon!

Here we go again, the swirly green graphics look like Shrek's swamp. Not sure that's the look they were going for.

I keep expecting a booming voice to shout

PLAYER ONE- READY!

A bit of Stormzy to ramp up the tension

I don't really want to watch Djok, though to be honest.

ADF is playing Stan in Stockholm, I might watch that instead. Probably better for my blood pressure.

I thought Carlos Ramos had retired?

I wish the matches were the other way around so I could watch Zak's funeral on Emmerdale!

💰

Silly me.

Keep going Jannik!

Stan has just beaten ADF. Switched over just as he was being reminded he is ancient.

Come on Jannik!!

There's Mustapha Million

Ugh

Do your job Carlos

I hate tie breaks.

So - come on Jannik!!

You name dropper, Liam.
