TENNIS: Strewth, it's time for the Australian Open!

[IceandIndigo]

New thread.

I’ve just seen a clip of Coco smashing her racquet backstage!

I saw that Jane. I thought it was a bit intrusive to film it, she obviously thought she was in private.

Jim would you ever feck off

He is so cringe, oh my god.

It was such a treat to see Carlos in real life even from up the back. He has the most extraordinary charisma. Just dazzling.

Aww Carol Kirkwood is leaving the BBC. Wimbledon won’t be the same without her.

I know! (I hope it was her choice- what with it being the Beeb and all).

I'm not sure if I imagined it- but I'm sure I remember her doing BBC Breakfast/ the weather from Wimbledon in 2018 and flossing- and Marin Judy Murray were there too.

Could have been a dream

I saw Carol crying on the Breakfast telly sofa this morning and was a bit worried - she will be missed when she goes

I remember Marin flossing with Carol at Wimbledon but can’t remember if Judy was also there

First set Lore, he's looking calm and Novak a bit rattled. Next set is crucial I feel

Great sportsmanship from Novak, conceding get touched the ball with the tip of his racket to go from 40 15 to 30 all. Cost him the set.

I'm here at the Musetti Novak match. It's been amazing so far. Medical timeout as we speak.

Now Musetti getting treatment!

Did the injury look serious or was it more tactical do you think?

Nooo, Lore is really injured. Is Djokovic honestly going to make a grand slam SF with two consecutive walkovers?

Yes he is. Oh that is terrible, feel so bad for Lore, although he’s had a great tournament.

Poor Lore, he really doesn't have the luck. He was so set for the semi final.

WTF!

Such a shame for Lore.

Honestly, what voodoo is Djok practicing? He almost got Jannik too.

We just walked out of the tennis precinct past a group of Serbian folk dancers which had spontaneously formed and wondered if they performed curses.

I am so gutted for Lore.
Bloody Djok.

Oh no I’ve just seen the score I was confused as Lorenzo had won the first two sets but then retired? Poor Lore - hope he’s OK - Djok really does have all the luck

Fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck.

Indeed magi

Best response.

I was score watching the BBC site, and the picture of Djok during his MTO made it look like he was having major surgery.
