I think that Fonesca's curly hair is more likely to make his hat blow off Raahh so yes I think it is a bit unfair - maybe he could have some elastic to go round his chin Grin

Why are they talking about Kyrgios beating Rafa Confused

Oh, I know all about hats and curly hair, Super bouncy. I can't wear hat.

I'm not watching at the moment- but they love to stir rubbish -I'm sure Rafa (with his fantastic record) now really cares about the times Dick beat him ..or not.

Hopefully Dick will lose first round. Though he's 'done a Djok' and got an injury excuse...

Fizzywinegum · 06/03/2025 20:11

I'm sticking with the tennis for now - Fearnley is coming back in this second set

They love talking about Rafa's losses even when he's retired Confused

Raahh · 06/03/2025 20:32

Great second set for Jacob.

And yes, discussing Rafa's losses was always a big thing. Especially at Wimbledon, with The List. I don't really know why, he's one of the best ever players. But I bet they will be all over him if he visits. Hypocrites.

Fizzywinegum · 06/03/2025 21:16

Well done Jacob but Joao just too good

He plays Jack Draper next - should be interesting

IceandIndigo · 06/03/2025 21:48

Just finishing watching the J-J match. I think Joao needs to take lessons from Jannik on how to wrangle your unruly hair into your cap, he has a very effective technique where he sort of flattens and parts it at the same time. I also have curly hair and hats are the worst. Well done to Joao for the win. Felt a bit sorry for Jacob because he had all the momentum heading into the third set.

Looks as if Kyrgios couldn't continue his match with Botic because of his wrist injury - hopefully he'll just disappear now (and not appear in the commentary box)

Apparently the Nick/Botic buggy ride to the court was interesting - they are quite different personalities Grin

Fizzywinegum · 07/03/2025 10:45

Hopefully RoBotic will do his stuff against Djok

Also my mate Gigante from the Rafa tournament is playing Taylor Fritz (probably not the best draw for him in IW)

Raahh · 07/03/2025 11:19

The buggy rides make me laugh. They must be really awkward for the players.

I saw that Dick retired. It really is time for him to give up. Apparently he was in tears . Aww, shame. I will be very annoyed if Wimbledon have him back commentating.

Good practice for Botic before he faces Djok and his antics anyway. What is Djok's 'Ailment of the Week' this week, anyway? He's bound to have one- and even if he doesn't have to start with, if things start to go wrong, something will crop up as an excuse.

JaneJeffer · 07/03/2025 11:48

I did agree with Kyrgios about the locker room location being weird. They seem to have to go onto the main road in the buggy before reaching the court.

Raahh · 07/03/2025 12:10

I always wondered why they built the lockers so far from the courts. And the commentators can hardly moan about the time the players take for loo breaks if the changing rooms are miles away, either!

IceandIndigo · 07/03/2025 22:27

Wow, Sascha just lost to Tallon. Crazy ending to the match, Tallon had 5 match points in his last service game and couldn’t close it out. Luckily for him he managed to win the tiebreak.

Casper is wearing peach with a random flash of green on the side, like a duck.

Hawkeye isn't working Hmm

Well done Holger. That match was so much fun Grin

JaneJeffer · 08/03/2025 02:00

And no commentary on RB to ruin it

'Like a duck' Grin

Shame he lost, but I had a feeling he might.
I only caught the end though.

Raahh · 08/03/2025 10:22

Tallon Griekspoor is having a bit of a moment, first Daniil in Dubai, and now Sascha.

Unfortunately, ADF lost his match. Hopefully he's not feeling the after effects of back to back finals losses.

IceandIndigo · 08/03/2025 19:40

Gosh Joao is so good, feels like Jack is barely hanging on at the moment.

OP posts:
IceandIndigo · 08/03/2025 20:43

That was a strange match, just too many unforced errors from Joao in the end. Well done Jack!

Oh that’s cute, they’ve got Lance the bee man doing the toss for Carlos’ match! Carlos gave him a hug, not sure he was expecting it Grin

That is really lovely! Grin.

Raahh · 08/03/2025 21:14

Karthy was too busy wittering on Sky, so we missed out on the start of the Carlos match/coin toss.

Raahh · 08/03/2025 21:41

Blimey- they are actually talking about Rafa winning things today.

That's a turn up.

But his Monte Carlo/Rome record can't be ignored, really , can it?
