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!

Linda is really tough mentally. I would never count her out. But Aryna is serving so well.

I would really like Linda to win this- but she does need to get her serve into play more. She has just taken a while to settle. I wouldn't be surprised if this match went to 3 sets though.

This has been a disaster of a tie break for Linda.

I’m score watching because I’m not in the mood for Aryna’s screeching!

I don't blame you.

I am trying very hard to tune her out.

Come on Linda!

Finally. Better set from Linda.

Into a 3rd.

I wish someone had organised a better outfit for Linda although it’s better than the crop top she wore the other day (sorry to be shallow).

We’re all about the shallow here

This is great stuff from Linda. Aryna seems rattled.

I like Linda’s kit.

I don't mind Linda's kit- it's preferable to Aryna's stringvest .

Come on Linda!

(The fact she's tied her top at the back makes her look like half the girls at my dd2s school- who for some reason do that with their jumpers. Usually with a hair bobble).

The dog is waiting for me to walk him.

He has just rather huffily flung himself on the sofa, an keeps giving me the side eye. Well, he would be , if he could actually see.

Come on Linda- don't let her back in.

Oof.

Damn.

That's better.

Didn't really want this to go to a tie break .
I hope Linda's serve holds up. The first set one was not great.

Ugh.

Eek

Pfft.

Well done Aryna.

Linda put up a good fight.

Well done Aryna.

Well done Aryna

Well done Aryna - she will be pleased to have got through that match

Hit the wrong emoji!

I see Pegula v Navarro is being called the Battle of the Billionaires!
