Aw Margaret. Bless you. Thanks. I only been away for 6 weeks.

Seems longer, still good to see you around TF
Matteo will play Spains Davidovich Fokina nick name Focky in the 4th rd

 

[Vince Evert]

I only started watching the open yesterday. Saw some of your man, Nadal. He's played little tennis since wimbledon but the comeback he staged against the hot-headed italian FOGNINI was a positive sign. He has decades of experience to call upon too.

Help me it was the worst 1st set of tennis Rafa played, though the Fog always lifts his game against Rafa

The Fog did lift and Rafa could then see the ball much better and he won the next 3 sets.

Also today in his practice he had a tape on it just to make sure

Dont worry it was for a precaution, his doctor was on the sideline as well

Just in case that racquet got out of hand again.

I have never seen that happen in a tennis match before, though my hubby has seen it on the golf course

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Meddy won the 1st set 64 and is leading 3-0 in the 2nd set

All these goofballs remaining for Meddy's match are completely toasted. They are actually counting and stacking those plastic drink cups during the match.

I saw it by a player on a video when a player was angry and he smacked the racquet and it went right up into his forehead and made a gash in his forehead. They had to get a medical timeout for it.

Yep we've seen it done purposely before. A now retired Russian player named Mikhail Youzny would hit himself in the forehead w/ the racquet until he bled. He would be known as a cutter these days, right?

I don't think I have seen it in the middle of a point.
