TENNIS THREAD- we're moving on to the Hard Courts and the North American Swing. With a quick clay pit stop to win a cow or two. .

[Raahh]

I think this thread may take longer to fill than the last one.

.

I didn’t know who Max Branning was but I’ve googled and there is a similarity

Juliet the cow got a mention on the Tennis Podcast!

The Dj is all over the place today.

We had Zorba's Dance earlier.

Now we've got Volare.

Altogether now...

Status Quo again. I love this, for the randomness of the DJ choices if nothing else.

Etcheverry did so well to get the seconf set, but Misolic is making sure the Austrians get a winner. He is their number 1 player, so I suppose he should be the one who does.

The Austrians finally got a win. Well done Filip

Not sure why - or how that bit posted twice

Any way- well done Filip.

Nice pink kit.

And Sweet Caroline can get lost.

Good times never seemed so good

Grrr.

If I ever meet Neil Diamond, I will give him a piece of my mind, I will.

Justin Engel is playing Seyboth Wild - I was confused by the 'NG' next to Engel's name, apparently it means Next Gen . It lets the younger players play some tournaments without qualifiying. There are limited options for wild cards for him, I suppose.

Man in snazzy hat singing to Abba.

'if you're happy and you know it ' - on the wurlitzer, by the sound of it.

This is headed for a tie break, possibly.

First set Thiago, and break for Justin in the second.

I feel like Naomi is not fulfilling her commentator duries properly , since I've barely heard her mention Justin's age . If at all

I wonder what all the announcements are about?

I think this DJ has ADHD

The DJ has no set theme does he?

I'd love to know what they said to him when he was hired.

Backstreet Boys with the crowd singing along

So if there’s no Austrian a German is the next best thing

Seems to be the case- but it's running away from Justin now.

Well done Thiago

Well done Thiago- Justin seems a lot less grumpy than some of the losing Austrians have done. Hopefully will see him again before the end of the year.

I agree with Thiago that Justin has a bright future ahead of him which was nice of him to say

Gael has fallen into the clock screen or something in Washington.

It's only the second game!

Uhoh

It was nice of him. It was a pretty close match for over half of it.
