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 really don't think Carlos is natural doubles player.

He really isn’t Raahh, but he always does ok at Laver Cup when he’s up against other singles players.

I could fall asleep to a recording of Kader Nouni reciting tennis scores.

Bloody hell ice!! Very jealous* *of your DH aswell. I did speak to Stefan 40 years or so ago at Wimbledon. I accosted him when he was walking back on his own from the practice courts to the locker room - different times, different Wimbledon layout. Told him I would watch his match on Court 2 and wished him luck. He looked slightly alarmed Never saw any actual play, as it chucked it down with rain soon after, for the rest of the day, when play was abandoned!!

See Europe has a 3-1 lead at the end of day 1.

Well done Carlos and Jakub. Fun match.

Not the best start for Jasmine against Svitolina in the BJK Cup. I hope she can turn it around. Italy lost the first match of the day againt the Ukraine, so need to win this one.

First set to Elina- but prior to the match, the commentators were saying the previous times they have played, whoever won the first set, lost the match.

So all is not yet lost for Jasmine!

Not looking good now for italy to make a 4th final- Jasmine 0-3 down in set 2.

I think Czechia have a strong chance now in the final.

Announcing the players at the Laver Cup, takes ages.

Cobolli is doing better thesecond set- or rather, Tien is playing worse, he is making a lot more errors. He played well in the first set.

Haven’t seen any so far. Just put it on to see Tim giving Team World the evils

Andy saying Kim only came to see him in the doubles because he was playing with Matteo

I think we can all relate to that

Oh flip.
Another 10 point tie break.

Has Alex got blood running down his leg or am I seeing things?

Fuck sake!

Oof- what happened, Sascha!

Alex is making me cringe with those celebrations

And Petch has entered the cringe fest

Me too.

Come on Europe!

He was bleeding then. Surely he should have had that taped up?

Can't believe Europe have lost both matches and a 3-1 lead becomes 3-5 to ROW!!!

1 set all for Carlos and Taylor- Vamos Carlos!!

Come on Carlos!

I'm really sick of 10 point tie breaks!
