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!

Oh yikes

The selfish knackered part of me, just wants Sascha to win .

Don't be ridiculous Jane
They're too busy scoffing and making tik toks

ABC are one of our local bands

this could all be over very soon - Ben seems very overwhelmed

Yes- you are probably right.

.

I read an article in the Guardian that was a satire basen on how the US open 2041 will look, No one really watching any tennis, most of it was food courts, pricing was through the roof and most of it was based on seeing 'influencers' (Morgan Riddle was involved).

It sounded far too likely to happen to be a joke.

That sounds like what is happening at the US Open now Raahh

Exactly- it might seem like a prophesy- but really, it's not!

You’re thisclose to paying off last year’s Honey Deuces on Klarna.
😂

I loved that bit

All of it was just too real to be satire.

On we go

Finally, tennis hotting up

Finally Ben. We might actually have a match.

Blimey.

I have not got the energy for 5 sets.
But things have got more interesting.

Is Ryan just stuck out there watching on his 42" telly?

Surely someone could have got him a tcicket in the stadium. His brother won the doubles .

Jonathan is getting over excited now. Pulling faces doesn’t mean you have a great personality!

My brain just switches off when Ryan talks - I’ve got no idea what he’s saying - it’s a bit like Jamie Murray in the bunker!

Not sure I can stay up much longer - Ben is quite annoying but I don’t like Zverev either

Eek body blow

I feel the same, Fizzy. Ryan is a bit pointless (and I have to say, Jamie wasn't great either).

I am also not at all bothered who wins!

Kind of disappointing for Ben to fight back only to get broken in the first game of the next set.

Ooh time violation - stupid shot clock

About time
Ben had a wry smile on his face .

Great shot from Sascha there

Well done Sascha. That was hilarious
