Well done to Jiri, Stef looks done in.

Raahh · 18/10/2024 20:10

And since deciding that Jiri looks like the male version of Iga, I really can't un-see it.

JaneJeffer · 18/10/2024 20:10

It's the old "new gen" who really seem to be suffering because they got sandwiched between the big 3 and Carlos/Jannik and seem to have to play endlessly but win nothing!

Jiri seemed a bit frosty at the net

It's true, Jane- it's a bit like the Raonic/Nishikori type generation (although they didn't really achieve anywhere near as much as Stef/Sascha and the like have)- they were meant to win big -and didn't. The Big 3 just didn't let them in.

Now Stef, Sascha, Casper are starting to fall behing whilst Carlos and Jannik race ahead. (And Casper isn't even that old!)

Raahh · 18/10/2024 20:17

Jane I thought the match ended in a bit of subdued way- I didn't watch all of it, so I don't know if anything went on between them, but it did seem at bit of low key end.

JaneJeffer · 18/10/2024 20:23

I missed the second set because I watched Emmerdale instead so I don't know if there was beef!

JaneJeffer · 19/10/2024 17:11

The Inbetweeners Grin Liam is so funny

JaneJeffer · 19/10/2024 17:13

I don't know if you're allowed to say piss someone off Pat Grin

Raahh · 19/10/2024 17:27

I missed the start of this- but I think Liam and Pat have been a lot iof fun the last couple of days. Liam should take over from Isa at Wimbledon. He would shake things up a bit- and at least he knows what he's talking about Grin.

JaneJeffer · 19/10/2024 17:29

That would be great Grin

JaneJeffer · 19/10/2024 17:30

VAMOS RAFA!

Raahh · 19/10/2024 17:32

This stuff at the beginning is annoying.

And then there's AC.

Raahh · 19/10/2024 17:33

VAMOS RAFA

JaneJeffer · 19/10/2024 17:33

Come on bring the house down for Rafa!

Raahh · 19/10/2024 17:34

JaneJeffer · 19/10/2024 17:33

Come on bring the house down for Rafa!

I think he got the bigger cheer.

Raahh · 19/10/2024 17:35

They are at it again- the whole, no-one loves Djok as much, wah wah. If they have to keep saying that, there must be a reason why that is?!

Fizzywinegum · 19/10/2024 17:36

Just back from one armed pumpkin picking! Hmm 🎃

Liam instead of Isa at Wimbledon would be great - can't believe they still keep the old dinosaurs on - speaking of which ... AC

It's just a shame that Rafa is playing Djok - although I suppose it's quite fitting as well - could have been Holger Grin

Come on Rafa!

Raahh · 19/10/2024 17:37

Hmm I can see, they have been told they have to start bigging up Djok today.

Raahh · 19/10/2024 17:38

Yes Liam, he started a tournament in Serbia during the height of Covid that caused a whole load of trouble. Going to mention that one?Grin

JaneJeffer · 19/10/2024 17:40

Blah blah blah

Tennis: Road to Turin, anyone seen Rafa?
JaneJeffer · 19/10/2024 17:41

Love them labelling the players in case we don't know who is who Grin

Raahh · 19/10/2024 17:47

Is baby Rafa bored already? Grin

JaneJeffer · 19/10/2024 17:49

I think he wants to be out there Grin
