TENNIS- US OPEN finals weekend continues. Then it's onwards to Japan and China.

[Raahh]

Not the most exciting title.

I suppose Laver Cup and Davis Cup must be happening too soon.

I do think the fabric of Daniil's kit has a lot to do with it- it's a bit of a 'wet look' one - it looks damp before he even starts.

But he really was drenched.

Can you imagine what Rafa would be like in these conditions? He would be running around in a puddle.

It's Rafa Jnr's birthday today.
He's 3. That's gone very quickly.

Ooh, happy birthday Rafa Jnr!

Happy birthday Rafa Junior! Someone on the Tennis Podcast was saying that they had a Rafa shaped hole in their life - it made me feel sad I’m yet to find a proper replacement

Daniil is looking like he’s at deaths door so he should win …

Learner seems to be fading a bit now. He's played a lot of tennis over the past couple of weeks.

What 's happening now Daniil?

What was in that sachet? It was meant to perk you up, not make you worse!

See Daniil, there I was thinking you wanted to win the match.

Daniil needs to take a very deep breath.

Oh dear Daniil - don’t have another meltdown

He was doing ok til the physio came out!

That was when it all went south.

oooh

this is interesting.

Oh no, this is Beijing all over again.

They seem almost gleeful that he's cramping.

Like 'we told you you so'.

Oh come on - loads of them have had treatment for cramp. Jannik did.

Stupid rule

This is bloody stupid.

It is so stupid. Especially with the conditions they should be allowed treatment for cramp.

They know the weather is an issue- they are risking the health if the big players.

And they would not do it to Djok (because he would probably lie - as Annabel said- and say it was 'something else')

Zombie tennis

🤣🤣🤣

Ridiculous! Daniil can’t even walk - surely the conditions must be a cause of the cramp? Tennis is getting more and nonsensical - it’s a hard watch

Oh Djok would absolutely collapse in a heap, claim to have a muscle strain and get 5 minutes extra treatment.

The Rafa chat is hilarious 🤣

Don’t worry about Mo, he loves the attention

Oh definitely.

It would not be 'cramp'
Jonathan is getting on my nerves as well.

Why is Jerry Armstrong taking Daniil’s shirt off for him?
