I’ve just turned on Jack’s match - what’s going on? Lots of booing and people moving round in the stands but they’re still trying to play.

Raahh · 22/03/2025 20:30

I've just seen that the Fonseca match had moved- had turned over for a bit and looked at the scores . I did wonder if it would cause an issue with the fans- the Brazilian fans have been sitting there all day, so it's not surprising they are annoyed that the player they are waiting for is on another court!

Oh are they all trying to move court?!

The Fonseca match was due after this - all the Brazlian fans have been waiting hours. The Fonseca match is now playing on Stadium, and hell has broken loose.

I think the number of retirements and quick matches, have left them with a gap, so they decided to fill it.

Which would have been ok, if the Brazilian fans were not very fanatical and hadn't been waiting in the other court for the match they wanted to watch!

Never seen anything like this. Grin

I will laugh if Fonseca loses. Sorry Joao Grin

JaneJeffer · 22/03/2025 20:35

They could have left it as was. It’s only 4:30 there and this match can’t go on forever!

I know, that would be funny after this. Grin
Although I do like Joao.

But this is an odd situation

The Brazilian fans won't be able to deal with rain delays and court changes!

It seemed weird that they were still trying to play the match with all that going on!

Well, quite.

It's a 3 set match. It's hardly going to go on for hours like a 5 set epic.

JaneJeffer · 22/03/2025 20:39

I’m surprised they can just move to another court but I wouldn’t like to be the one to tell them that they can’t!

Raahh · 22/03/2025 20:39

(Maybe the tournament director is a Draper fan, and hopes that match will go to 3 sets.).

Or likes to annoy Brazilians.

Jack seemed to be the only one with common sense who wanted to wait until they left.

Raahh · 22/03/2025 20:41

Jane I did wonder about that - I can't see it being allowed at Wimbledon (before a certain time, and probably when the roof is on on Centre and they are playing catch up).

Tim is going to have his hands full, if he tries anything similar.

Maybe they’re Argentinian?

Well, there is enough space for the Brazilian spectators. Too much, in fact.

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 22/03/2025 20:47

Plenty of seats for the Brazilians Grin

kazzaD66 · 22/03/2025 20:47

It was carnage. Sit the fuck down during the match and stop being arses. Most certainly would not have happened at Wimbledon.
Hoicks (very small) bosom and walks off stage left.

kazzaD66 · 22/03/2025 20:50

Ffs. Draper is going to lose this.

Fizzywinegum · 22/03/2025 20:53

Hope all of the Brazilians managed to get into the grandstand arena or there will be another riot! It was farcical - can't believe the umpire tried to get them to carry on playing

Good job Mo wasn’t the umpire - it would have been (even more) carnage!

Raahh · 22/03/2025 20:54

I think part of the reason Jakub wanted to play through the noise, was because he had just won the set and had momentum.

It seems to have paid off.

OP posts:
Raahh · 22/03/2025 20:55

Mo would have loved the drama Grin

Well done Jakub.

OP posts:
ChessieFL · 22/03/2025 20:56

I’m sure Jack will blame the Brazilians!

JaneJeffer · 22/03/2025 20:56

Well done Jakub.

At least I won’t have to put up with Jonathan commentating on another Jack final (silver lining).
