TENNIS THREAD - hotdogs and weed, it must be the US Open

[ChessieFL]

I managed to close off the last thread without realising and couldn’t see a new one, so here you go!

It sounds like you had a great day! Poor ball boy. (You've definitely been banned).

Blockx has won.

Flavio was having words with his team/dad earlier. Not sure what the problems were.

Shite! I am doubly annoyed because I had to stop watching because the RB simply will not work. Fucking Sky

🤣 thanks for cheering me up Fizzy

Is Darderi the only Italian left in the draw? And he's in trouble for something. Audible obscenity?

Zverev has not long wrapped up his match, but it was at least in straight sets and reasonably straightforward ( set 2 less so).

Tien and Mensik are still going though.

I saw the end of Jakub and Learner’s match. I thought Jakub was going to win but he seemed to suddenly run out of steam.

Aryna not having it all her own way against Taylor Townsend. I notice she’s dropped the dangly earrings, they must be super annoying to play in.

I noticed Aryna had toned down the jewellery.

I've been watching Noskova/Kostyuk. Linda playing well - so is Marta, but I feel like Linda has a lot to prove in the first slam following her Wimbledon win, since it was so unexpected.

Linda is struggling serving out the match- Marta definitely seems to have the crowd support.

Carlos is wearing a black vest under his white top today- as if that was the plan all along. At least it looks more co-ordinated. And no chance of nip-slips

This kit is much better on Carlos. Not a fan of the brown. Vamos!

Marta vs Linda is an interesting match. Wasn’t really expecting Marta to come back and win the second set.

I love him. I love how he's taken it in such good humour. It could have been a real disaster (given how the media like the spin these things) .

Jim Courier just banging on and on about Carlos’ serve speeds. We get it Jim.

No, I think Linda will be really disappointed to lose that second set (and the match)- I don't know if the crowd support is a factor, but she really faltered serving out the set. Marta really got a burst of energy.

Sascha was funny in his post match interview saying his coach told him best of 5 doesn’t mean he has to play all 5 so he listened and won in 3

First set Carlos. Vamos!

I loved his analysis of nipplegate Jane.

Jane I do like that
VAMOS Carlos- ABTP!!

And Linda has the break .

It’s great to have Carlos back

DH has become a Marta fan since we saw her at Wimbledon this year. She was very close and I think she hypnotised him
with her beauty.

I'm waiting for Jonathan to come out with ' ooh, Carlos, you're a little bit special'

He does that when he gets excited.

oof- deja vu in the Noskova match.

Linda just cannot seem to serve out the match.

Finally- well done Linda.

Well done Linda.
