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.

She has a very intense stare!

Oh go on and show a replay while there’s a point being played

Why not Jane, not like they delayed the match or anything.

Stefan!!

Well, since the first game, it's all been Carlos.

Well done Carlitos- but I do want a close-ish match.

Would be rubbish for the spectators outside to get in , just as it all ended!

Impressive first set from Carlos.

However I did read a stat today that when these two play the player who wins the first set generally goes on to lose the match

Oh, yes, I know it's the Manchester Derby.

Always fun round here.

Eek - that's not a great stat, is it?

come on Sinner, let’s have a contest!

<and Fuck Trump>

Yeah it was 6/8 times it has happened I think.

Yay! Fuck Trump.

It's the new thread slogan.

Funny how Tim forgets to Alcarath when he’s not on the BBC!

I know , Jane.

So, go on, what is it?

Jonathan is getting over excited by the Sinner 'come back' I'm now getting flash backs from earlier in the year. Was it Rome? Or RG? He was very pro Sinner.

I actually like both of them, and think the rivalry is great for the sport- up there with Rafa and Roger. They are very different, physically, temperamentally(although both very polite young men).

Yes, Jonathan- but you shouldn't have to pay $$$$$ and then wait ages to get in because of tight security whilst the cause of the security gets to sit there watching the match!

Ivan! Looking as happy as ever

I love Ivan

I’m hoping there’s a coup going on outside while Trump is in the stadium

In previous 'rivalries' , I have picked a side. Becker /Edberg- obviously Stefan. Rafa/Roger- clearly Rafa. I haven't really on this one.
I genuinely like both.

I like them both. I’m always wanting Carlos to win when they play each other but then if Jannik does that’s fine because they are both so lovely!

Is it wrong that I'm hoping for an Abraham Lincoln moment?

Who am I to judge Raahh?

Raahh
Although not until after the match has finished. The players have been inconvenienced enough.

That is true kazza. and the spectators. They have paid a lot for this.

Maybe wait for a bit.

I am going to hell. Or prison
