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!

Tim loves saying “crush and rush”

Completety?

That would put his opponent off. I'm up for that.

I was thinking the same thing . I don't think there is another commentator around who says it as much- or even ever says it. .

He’s got those pink bicycle shorts on underneath!

I know! What does it even mean?

I think Tim has a few phrases that he just uses on rotation

Damn.

Foiled again

I’m up for Big Foe just playing in the pink cycling shorts

Pfft.

One day...

Michelsen has been good. but he's struggling to serve it out.

In this match at least, there can be no suggestion that the crowd are more partisan (though I'm sure Big Foe has more fans).

I want Alex to wrap it up because my concentration is waning

The comeback is on, but I can’t keep my eyes open. Good luck Foe.

Tiebreak decider ugh

Poor Alex is crying on Frances’ shoulder. I really feel for him. Well done Big Foe.

Wow, did not expect to see that result! Well done Foe.

Well done Foe! I kind of did expect the result after Michelsen failed to serve out the third set.

Carlos is not having a good time against Ben. He looks tired, possibly because they’re playing at a ridiculous time of night.

I missed the end of the Big Foe match, poor Alex.

What is going on with Carlos? I wanted him to win the whole thing.

Ben has easily taken the 3rd set- I don't know if the lateness of the match is affecting Carlos more. All the waiting around won't have been good.
And if he's starting to have any issues with his wrist again, a 5 set match at this stage of the tournament is the last thing he needs.

He just looks tired to me. Probably a combination of the late hour, and match conditioning after being out so long. Ben is playing well, but Carlos is making some really uncharacteristic errors.

He's got a grip on this 4thset, and it's going g quickly for a 5set match.

Vamos!!

OMG I can’t believe that tennis is still happening - this is ridiculous (nice to watch some tennis with breakfast but rubbish for the players)

Oof- that fall could have been nasty.

I'm not enjoying all of Ben's celebrating.

SWEET BLOODY CAROLINE!!

Seal looked half asleep, stood up.

This is starting to feel like Ben threw the 4th set . No way to prove that, but...

This feels very tight now. Vamos Carlos!
