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!

I do like Marta- especially with her Wilson inspired dresses (and her wedding dress).

But I am pleased to see Linda go through.

Laura is enjoying herself

I prefer Carlos’ white and black combination and pleased that he’s found a suitable nipple covering option

I’m also pleased that he’s winning against Tommy Paul

Vamos Carlos! Some of those shots were unreal!

Matthew McConaughey looks pissed off with the camera constantly zooming in on him

The women are out with the phones again

Vamos Carlos. Bye bye Tommy.

Daniil breaking our hearts again.

Well done Frances. Poor Danill had no support in the stadium.

I am disappointed that both Daniil and Stef lost. I am making no more predictions .
I think crowd support can really play a part in a match- and although Daniil is used to being the villain in these scenarios, it had to have got to him that the whole stadium were cheering for his opponent.

I wanted Stef to win for the one-handed backhand. It will be the first year that a single-hander hasn't got to the semis of any of the GSs.

I'm disappointed that Danill lost, although also happy for Big Foe who played a great match and deserved to win.

I enjoyed this quote from Carlos: “You know, beating Tommy Paul is always great feedback to see where you are." Ouch

Ha ha

Omg, Zheng has come back from 0-5 against Iga, exactly like she did against Madison Keys in the last round!

Zheng is definitely a houdini.

Come on Iga and Mirra!

I’ve just seen a Tennis Forever post saying that when Djok skipped his press conference in NY in 2020 he got fined $7,500 but this year the Williams sisters didn’t get fined for doing the same thing

No, it seems the rules are being re-written all over the place for the Williams sisters.

Oh dear- Potapova has landed badly on her knee.

Oh that looked really sore

Looked like she jarred it.

Mirra was very sweet making sure she’s ok

She was - she went straight there. It's not great timing, really.

Who’s the woman with the handbag?

This doesn’t look good
