Re: New balls please?
OK, Alan, into your white shorts!
You hold the racquet so.... throw the ball into the air! It needs to go into that area of the court - between those lines - smash down on it hard -
There! doesn't that feel g-o-o-d? Feeling better already?

Three straight sets.
Somewhat an execution.

It's the thighs, and the b*ms, at least it used to be, they all wear those baggy shorts now, rugby is the only game worth watching.

Actually Nadal's shoulders in that vest thing he wears are worth a drool.
I am now going to lay down in a darkened room and cover my eyes with a damp copy of Tennis Monthly.

What was that expression on the Forum a while ago? Coming over all unnecessary?
Nadal is a superb player. I couldn't resist switching on the game just now. And Boris commentating too. A treat.

What a fantastic final!
A shame one of them had to lose.
Even Alan must have enjoyed that

Amazing! Incredible! What a match!

It was wonderful!

Re: New balls please?
Only downside is that we will now have a generation of players fiddling with their behinds before every serve in future!!
That mannerism got on my nerves and even Mrs Mid A commented on it!
