Oof.

Well, it was closer than I thought it would be.

Carlos just looks like he’s enjoying it more Grin

Well hew would , wouldn't he! Grin

Lore can go home and finally start getting ready for his new baby if he loses.

Except he can't , because he's got Davis Cup coming up.
I'd be putting my foot down if I was Veronica. Grin

Now Carlos has the inevitable break, it is probably all over.

But I love Lore, and I am glad he got to play. And I still hate Djok for the stunt he pulled in Athens- which probably cost Lore his first match.

I have decided I hate round robins, maths and Djok .

The whole thing sucks.

I've decided I don't like your hair Carlos. So, ner.

He's gone bless him. Carlos is getting on my nerves with all the fist pumping.

Raahh · 13/11/2025 21:05

I'm still glad he got his chance (and I really do like Carlos usually)- but I hate this format.

Carlos has always got on my nerves, especially with the fist pumping .

Well done Carlos- and Forza! Lorenzo. Hope everthing goes well with the new baby.

Well done Carlos. And Lore, well done on surviving the Djokononsense.

JaneJeffer · 13/11/2025 21:08

Well done Carlos. I feel like he could have ended it on the first match point but wanted to give the crowd something!

To be fair, he doesn't do it as much as some.

Murray was by far the worst

But I'm not a Murray fan Grin (as you know).

'Djokononsense'

I love that.

Can't spell it. But love it.

Lorenzo just ran out of steam, understandably considering how much tennis he's played in the last 10 days.

I wonder if it's now sunk in for ADM that somehow he's in the semis!

JaneJeffer · 13/11/2025 21:12

Could be worse, he could start playing an imaginary violin

I still can't get my head around how he is ! he only won one match.

So did Lorenzo! Grin

We'll agree to disagree on Andy Raahh
I* *think he's great now. Brilliantly dry sense of humour and happy to take the piss out of himself. Watched him on YouTube last night on Romesh Ranganathan's podcast. Very funny and quite insightful.

kazzaD66 · 13/11/2025 21:19

They all only won one match in that group. Carlos won three. That's when the maths trickery begins Grin

magimedi · 13/11/2025 21:23

No way did Andy fist pump as much as Carlos. Andy is in a different class from Carlos (much, much better.)

Agree with @kazzaD66 Andy is cool.

I saw a clip on Instagram where Alan Carr was talking about being in Andy’s bedroom in the middle of the night on Michael McIntyre’s show and Romesh did the funniest impression of Michael Grin

IceandIndigo · 13/11/2025 21:25

I like Andy too Smile

JaneJeffer · 13/11/2025 21:28

Carlos fist pumping doesn’t bother me one bit Grin

IceandIndigo · 13/11/2025 21:32

ADM goes through because he and Taylor both had a better ratio of sets won:loss than Lore (Lore’s only win was in 3 sets)and he beat Taylor when they played. It does feel weird though. I feel a bit sorry for Taylor because he played at such a high level against Carlos, but based on his performance today I don’t think he’d have anything left for a semifinal. At least ADM seems fit.
