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 know

What ever is wrong with Lore, I was sitting here singing along with Witney .

Maybe the Italian restaurant they all go to has made them all ill?

Rick Astley!

Flavio is turning things around- but I don't think Lore will .

Oof- not looking good now for Lore at all.

Flavio just hit an amazing tweener lob winner.

The match isn't going the way I want, but it's an 80s party with the dj.

Giovanni is at Flávio’s match. Maybe he’s poisioned Lorenzo 😱

I’m watching Cobolli sitting in his bra with an ice sausage! (That sounds very wrong!)

I'm not sure what’s happening with Lorenzo

Well done Dane. Hope Lore is ok and has just been eating some dodgy spaghetti rather than having another injury.

I find Sweeny a really annoying spelling! Where’s the other e?

Yes it does!

Asking the real questions Jane.

Imagine how many times he’s had to “correct” people

Schoolkate looks very different when he’s not wearing his cap

Come on Cobolli - getting a big fed up of these rollercoaster matches!

Why do Sky keep putting the same match on all the channels? Then the RB keeps freezing.

I finally found Flavio on SkySp+

He needs to get his arse in gear

Great work Flavio. Now serve it out.

Yes he does Jane - I think he will probably win this match but there’s been lots of messing about from Flavio

It’s a good job he’s so funny and charming

I love the players that make me suffer

Well done Flavio!

Well done Flavio. Keeping Italian hopes alive.

Yes Jane with the suffering

But next time cut the faff Flavio!

They’re obsessed with his tattoos

Woken up to see Sascha is still playing AGAIN! I’m sure he is pissed off about the scheduling.

Chessie I couldn't believe Sascha was still playing either. The scheduling isn't great- but I suppose at this point he shouldn't be getting into 5 set matches with player like Halys. Halys does have a habit of pushing the big players at slams though.

I am glad Cobolli got through- otherwise Giovanni was definitely looking like a suspect. His 'bra and sausage ' does make it sound like he could audition to a Tim Curry /Rocky Horror tribute though .

The women seem to be managing to hold on to the top seeds much better at this stage. Only Bencic has fallen from the top 20 seeds so far.
