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.

.

Cerundolo confusion is contagious.

It was good of them to play different tournaments. But the names of them confuse me, so that hasn't helped.

Sasha looks like he owns the place. I wonder if JMC can get the better of him tomorrow.

Well done Sasha.

I like this crowd. They seem very chill

JMC is looking quite confident- he seems to have a game that does't allow opponents to play their game.

But Sasha is playing well.

- and calling them out for bringing up an ancient quote.

That poor interviewer. Sasha has been talking to him in an exasperated tone all week. He still keeps up his jolly tone

I love it. He did stay jolly - and has probably gone off to sob quietly in a corner somewhere.

All level between Luciano and Francisco

Well done Luciano

I thought we might get a Cerundolo brothers Bastad/Gstaad win

That would really confuse me

Lois Boisson has reached the final in Hamburg

Well done to Lois, at least she should have no issues with qualification to the US Open, after missing out at Wimbledon (her rankings rise came after the cutoff).

She is now at 51 in the live rankings- a massive rise from where she was before RG.

Well done to Denis in Los Cabos- interesting colourful trophy.

Sasha/Fran is due to start- soon , might get to watch some of it. I will probably miss most of today's finals though.

Ikea trip for DD1 to get stuff her second year at uni (she's moving out- only a few miles - closer to the city centre, but the first year commute /lecture schedule has been a bit all over the place ).

So we are off to buy meatball and freezer bags armed with a list.

It's not like she moving 300 miles away .

Cerundolo confusion again- sorry, JMC!

Underarm serve - tsk Sasha.

I wonder what he’s saying

Come on Bublik, think of the cheque

1-1 JM is a tough cookie

Well done Sasha

Is the guy in the groovy shirt his dad?

Ikea is packed.
. I am already losing the will to live.

Aww Baby Bublik is gorgeous

Good luck! I have never been to ikea!

The final was more torture than tennis according to Bublik the trophy is so heavy

Well done Sasha! Just saw the end of the match but very happy for him. I reckon that trophy weighs as much as his kid.

Hope you survived Ikea Raahh. DH is Swedish so it’s basically a religion in my house
