TENNIS thread- The Asian swing limps to a humid close- let's chuck away the ice towels and head to Europe.

[Raahh]

Via a couple of Exhibitions in Saudi Arabia.

Thread was coming to an end (if I can work out how to link it!).

Thanks Raahh

I think it works

I am going to wait for Iga at 12 and watch that. And hope Zizou can win without me watching.

Quick wave from me. A bit of score watching but get most of my info from you lot!

ABD is still my motto!!

Ugh. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place .

I don't want to watch Djok.

I cannot stand listening to Jill Craybas (annoying US commentator on the Iga match ).

Afternoon!

ABD !

Have noticed Djokovic, has strapping on the inside , top leg, hoping, he breaks down , me bad 😊

Feeling for both of em, hard going , both are looking wilted 😰🥵

I am score watching and after Iga got off to a quick start, Belinda is making her work for this now.

Come On Zizou!

I think Iga will have the edge in a tie break, and Belinda has worked hard to get to this point.

Not looking good for Zizou unfortunately.

Ugh, Djokovic won. I can't believe he was supposed to play Jannik in the SF and instead he gets a qualifier outside the top 200.

I know- and on hth wins over the last couple of years - he would not have beaten Jannik.

grrr.

Afternoon all from a hot and sunny Quinta do Lago!!
As always, your witterings are keeping me (a) up to speed with the important details of matches, and (b) amused
Poor Gerry Armstrong! That's definitely not on his job description! Could he not delete stripping Daniil to an underling?

I'm ignoring the Bergs result
Just popping on to say Draper posted a photo on his insta stories yesterday of him on a tennis court, which DS recognised as the one alongside the court he and DH played on yesterday!!! We were all down there yesterday but didn't spot him and are now on full alert
There's a women's ITF tournament there starting on Sunday or Monday. Apparently, Watson, Dart and Burrage, amongst others, had signed up but have withdrawn (Heather called time on her season, due to injury, earlier this week).

A always, ABD!!!!!!

• Gerry Armstrong needs to delegate to an underling. Deleting him is a bit harsh

Have a great time kazza !
at deleting Gerry .

I've realised that 5 years ago , I was sitting in the waiting room at the hospital, waiting for dd2 to come out of surgery, whilst watching Rafa/Stef in the Autumn RG semi final.

At least the final that year had the right result!

Thanks for the new thread Raahh. I’m still not getting chance to actually watch any tennis but enjoying the updates on here!

I come here for updates before anywhere else!

I am feeling very happy. I have just had a huge argument discussion at my local mairie (town hall) about a problem with a key to the room where I give my English classes (voluntary). I got my point over & they conceded that I was right. I did it all in French!!!!! Could not have done that 4 years ago when I moved here!!
Off to have a glass of wine to celebrate! And maybe another to drown my sorrows about Djock!!

Well done magi!!
Can't* *believe you've been there 4 years now!!

Nor can I!! I have no regrets at all about having made the move. I am very lucky.

Well done Magi!
4 years! Blimey - time really is flying, isn't it?

Thanks for the new thread Raahh 🎾

Haven’t seen any tennis today - boo to the Djok result!

Enjoy your holiday kazza - good to see that you’re joining in on the tennis stalking while on holiday

Well done on your persuasive French magi - time does fly - enjoy your wine 🍷

I got confused with your RG reference Raahh but then I remembered the Covid French Open (in Arctic conditions - sort of!)

Is anyone watching Celebrity Traitors? I was surprised to see that I’m older than Clare Balding!

Well done magi. Very impressive. I can just about order a glass of wine in French and that’s about it.

Still laughing about this

Gerry's face
He's thinking....this is not what I signed up for!!

That is definitely the face of a man questioning his life choices…
