TENNIS: Onward to the US Open. Take your seats quickly please.

New thread

DH had to go out for a while so I’m watching now.

I can’t tell if the commentary is exaggerated or not. They’re making it sound like Jannik is half dead!

I can’t see anything obviously wrong, he always walks like an old man. Just seems to be having issues with his serve.

This is very strange.

This is like Sascha all over again

Not sure if it's physical or mental, but he doesn't seem to be in the match.

Ok, now I’m worried for him.

Let’s listen in - DJ says no

Carlos is going to hate this too

Well, I (selfishly) hope they get the women out soon ish(although they might not be ready to play) if Jannik stops now.

Very sad.

Our Sky doesn’t seem to be working so I can’t watch for now - hopefully will get to see some of it later - it’s also a bit strange having the women’s final after the men’s?

Tennis is going through a bit of a weird phase - hopefully it will get it get more sensible soon!

No, Carlos won't like it much either .

Such a shame

Carlos is a good human person.

Oh this is so sad.

Carlos getting plenty of practice at these commiseration messages.

It does look like whatever Sascha had

Oh just seen that Sinner has retired - not sure what happened?

he is isn't he?

Has Djok been seen in the vicinity ?
So many ill players.

Raahh I was having similar evil thoughts

Are they going to have a trophy ceremony? Please let him go and lie down.

He looks ill- I think there is some virus/illness going around- like Sascha probably had.

Better than an injury, if so- but no chance of playing mixed doubles.

Even Jonathan is calling the mixed a glorified exhibition.

Does anyone like it?

Do we know what’s wrong with Jannik? I turned on just in time to see him retire but I’ve got it on silent as DH is watching something else so no idea what it’s all about. Hope he’s ok.

Re the mixed doubles I read the other day that Katie and ADM had been given a wildcard so I’m confused now.

Great minds

Mo called it as being unable to continue due to illness Chessie
