TENNIS: Gracias Rafa

[JaneJeffer]

Yes, I used it for the Olympics- was a lot more difficult to find then, iirc. Seems easier this time.

Not complaining though. If it gives me a bigger choice of what I can watch (and matches won't go off for the skiing) I'm happy.

Happy days

Sounds great Ice - we still keep getting pictures of DS2's Oz shenanigans while we freeze! He's back next weekend which will also be a bit of a shock to the system!

We seem to have got Discovery + included in our sky package - is Kyrgios actually playing tomorrow - he keeps mentioning injuries but not sure if he's just getting his excuses in early

Jack Draper is in the Sunday Times modelling some dodgy looking clothes - he will probably be Anna Wintour's new pet

I was just looking at those pics and thinking he's very Sebastian Flyte which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned

Oh yes love a bit of Brideshead Jane - I might need to rewatch but ITVX is not very user friendly

I wasn't sure about the floral coat on Jack

I watched Aryna and Sascha earlier. I’ve got to go into the office tomorrow so don’t think I’ll see any of tomorrow’s matches.

Just jumping in as I do each year to say Hi from Melbourne. Dh has been given fancy corporate tickets for Rod Laver arena tomorrow (Tuesday) night. Seats near the front with a restaurant meal and upmarket wine! Can't wait - we had a hard 2024 and are in need of a treat.
Miss Rafa.

That sounds amazing ! Have a wonderful time.
I'm missing Rafa- just pretending he is 'injured' and will be back!

( can't do that forever!)

I was awake early on, and saw Stef was in trouble, I did think he would turn it round though. Was shocked to see he had lost. He has been calling this his 'home slam' and I think he really fancied his chances a bit this year.

Yes, Stef is a shock.

Jodie and Harriet both through to R2. Harriet got called up as a lucky loser at the last minute (Voundrousova withdrew).

Jack struggling a bit - 1 set all and 4-1 down in the third.

I read that about Jack being a sex symbol for granny's Jane (I did wonder if Jack's version of a granny was anyone over 50!)

He needs to pull his socks up if he doesn't want to go out in the first round

That is a shock about Stef - I just don't really consider him anymore when it comes to winning things

Foggy and Grigor's match has been cancelled - I'm assuming that one of them is injured?

Have a great time Startup - that sounds amazing

As we still have snow here I think I can legitimately stay in bed and watch tennis

I’ve been awake since 1:30am. Saw some of Jannik’s match, which was much closer than the score line suggests. Feel bad for Stef.

It must have been Foggy who was injured as Grigor is now playing someone else

Come on Jack!

I'm hoping to avoid watching Djok and Kyrgios (although I am quite interested in seeing the Djok/Murray coaching dynamic)

I’m watching Carlos but might have to switch because the Alcarath-ing is doing my head in. Not sure I can cope with Djok or Nick in my jet lagged state though.

This sounds amazing, enjoy!

Well done Jack!

Well done Jack!

Don't think I can cope with watching Nick - the Alcarathing is very annoying!

I’m watching Nishesh now, hoping he can hold off the old man. He played really well in Auckland last week.

Too much tennis happening! There didn't seem to be any interesting matches yesterday and today there are too many!

Might watch some of Djok if it looks like he might be in trouble - tennis is not good for my (nonexistent) productivity!

Jacob Fearnley has taken the first set against Kyrgios - come on Jacob!

Yes Nishesh! And Jacob! Gosh imagine if we got rid of both Djok and Nick in the first round

Ooh well done Nishesh! The score on my phone was showing 40 50 instead of advantage - thought I was going mad!

I think today is going to be a bit of a write off
