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.

.

Well done Fran for overcoming heatstroke/sickness and Lumberjerk!

How does Lumberjerk manage in the heat? He's so hairy?

Well done Jasmine.

Fergus is funny 'I don't know the answer to that. I wasn't there'

Mensik retired from his match- though I didn't see why .

Dropping like flies!

I can imagine

Well done Carlos .

I think I need an ice towel. My feet are too hot. I hate having hot feet.

Well done Carlos.

It’s got so I’m relieved every time a player makes it through a match without collapsing/puking.

I know what you mean Ice - it’s not much fun!

Has anyone seen the clip of Cobolli and Musetti getting soaked by a water ride at a theme park in Cincy? It’s like a sexy dentist wet t shirt competition - it looks as if they’re having lots of fun!

Fizzy I saw that . 'Sexy dentist wet t-shirt competition'

I'll add it to my schedule, for when I'm tournament director. .

Oooh..... shamelessly trots off to google.

Looks like Cincy was rained out last night, they've had to redo today's schedule. Commentators were saying there's rain forecast today as well.

I’m really looking forward to your time as tournament director Raahh

I particularly like the rule of all matches being played at GMT - I could do with some tennis on now - it’s too hot to do much else - hope the rain stays away Ice

Maybe they could combine the tournament with the water ride at the theme park to help with players overheating!

So, I've got Holger/Big foe on the red button- and it keeps freezing. Which is annoying.

I just put the telly on and the RB keeps turning black

What’s causing the interruption in Sasha’s match? Should I chance exiting to find out now that I can actually see Holger?

Holger says “ha?” like an Irish person

physio for Big Foe

Frances looks like he wants to go home

Just tuned in, what’s wrong with Foe?

Seems to be a lower back problem

I think that match was suspended from last night?

Yes I ended up googling it Ice Pegula’s match is also on hold. I don’t understand why they don’t finish those ones first. It always baffles me!

I can't tell if Big Foe is wearing a different coloured shirt, or if it's just so sweaty it has got darker. Like those colour changing mugs.

Another retirement
