Ice I know- which is why I know I should be more forgiving of it- but once noticed her doing it, well, that was it...

It bugged me every time Grin

Raahh · 24/08/2025 20:25

Alex does train at Rafa's academy- maybe 'quirky habits' are part of the package .

(not noticed any in Casper though Grin).

Raahh · 24/08/2025 20:49

Despite the bad kit, Tomas is doing very well.

IceandIndigo · 24/08/2025 21:01

Ooh, big controversy, Clara not happy.

Ooh, big controversy, Clara not happy.

I've not been watching- what's happening now?

IceandIndigo · 24/08/2025 21:09

Clara was convinced Alex had played a volley on the wrong side of the net. There was a VR and it was borderline but umpire ruled against her. She then went on to double fault and get broken, for the second time in a row.

ooh- that's tough.

Badly Dressed Tomas is doing ok.

I do like Luca Nardi, but I like Tomas more.

IceandIndigo · 24/08/2025 21:31

Oof. Well done Alex.

Well done Eala - felt a bit sorry for Clara - the crowd were against her - even more so after the video review where the umpire just took his headphones on and off and then shrugged (it was the right decision l think)

The shadow strokes are a bit annoying - Rafa is the only person that doesn’t annoy me with those sorts of things - maybe they have a special class at the Academy Grin

I'm score watching the Daniil match- Bonzi has become a bit of difficult player to face early on recently.

Daniil lidt the first 2 sets, but Benjamin looks to have run out of steam. This 4th set could be a bagel.
Daniil really doesn't want another first round exit.

Raahh · 25/08/2025 05:42

Bonzi has come back in the 5th set and it's 4 all- so still looking a bit dicey for Daniil.

Raahh · 25/08/2025 05:56

Damn. And Bonzi has won.
Daniil not having the best year overall.
Sad
He's now lost in the first round of 3/4 slams this year, and round 2 at AO.

Raahh · 25/08/2025 05:58

(And it was Bonzi that beat him at Wimbledon).

I think Daniil needs a holiday. I can only imagine what kind of mood he ended the match in!

IceandIndigo · 25/08/2025 08:04

Tough loss but it sounds like Daniil behaved disgracefully. He’s not in the best place, to put it mildly.

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 25/08/2025 09:08

Yes it sounds like an eventful match (to say the least) - it does sound as if Daniil went too far this time (again!) - I agree I think he needs to take a break - he doesn’t seem to be in a good place and hasn’t been for a while Sad

Fizzywinegum · 25/08/2025 09:14

And of course Greg Allensworth was umpiring the match! He has a tendency to fuel the drama rather than calm things down

Raahh · 25/08/2025 09:25

Oh dear-just been reading a review of the match- it really does sound like Daniil lost it in a big way ,It's been a bad year for him (and on a personal level started so well, with the birth of his second daughter. Once he gets into state like that, he doesn't seem able to dig his way out.

It's also a shame for Bonzi, as it ruined his moment (and the photographer who caused the drama will be keeping his head down for some time).

Raahh · 25/08/2025 16:04

Mboko is playing Kreijkova- I feel like the commentary will be biased towards Victoria, if the pre-match pre-amble with Marion/Gigi/ Laura is anything to go by. A lot of discussion about her, plus a pre-recorded interview.

They clearly like her- because they've even bumped the Norrie match to Sky Sports plus Grin.

Interesting pink trainers on Marion.

Raahh · 25/08/2025 16:08

I love her red dress though.

Barbora could be in trouble here- especially after Victoria's Canada win.

Raahh · 25/08/2025 16:16

Solid start for Barbora, Victoria seems a bit nervous. Her wrist is still heavily strapped up.

Scary hat, lady.

Raahh · 25/08/2025 16:50

Both players are having wobbly moments - I think Barbora's serving has been good in parts, but there have been double faults.

Raahh · 25/08/2025 16:59

This is funny the vibrator thing has come off Barbora's racquet- and everyone is looking for it.

Why hasn't she got another one?

They've found it!!Grin

Raahh · 25/08/2025 17:09

I think Victoria is very hampered by the strapping her wrist/palm .

The atmosphere is pretty flat- I think the crowd want to get behnd her, and are not getting anything to cheer for.

I do like Barbora, but this is not how she would want to win (and they were really building up Mboko , pre-match).

And the end of Petra Kvitova's career.

Raahh · 25/08/2025 17:33

Well done Barbora.

She started well- but I think Mboko was not 100%, and it was a shame they had to meet so early on.

Raahh · 25/08/2025 17:38

Barbora has a lego habit too Grin
