Stop.Stop.Stop. Period.

RosieH: tsk, tsk, have you drunk as much as I?

[RosieH]

Nary a drop PGC - I was merely referring to the american abomination that is "period" when what we're really talking about are "full stops"

[Mick Mac]

You need a full stop at the end of that post Rosie.

[ratty]

Watching tennis is it's own punishment!

"disgusting. really disgusting."

You needed not to have a full stop at the end or in the middle of that post Mick.

Isner and Mahut back on court.....

[Mick Mac]

The fifth set is now 61+62 = 123 games long which is the equivalent of a minimum 10 additional sets.

What a joke

5th set tie breaker to come in next year.

I don?t think they will change the rules because of one freak occurrence. All being equal the timetabling has normally already been more bollocks up because of rain in the first week than it is being because of this.

[citizenED]

It's some of the best advertising the All England Club could have.

[Mick Mac]

Its not the timetabling - it just seems a bit ridiculous - don't the other grand slams have tie breakers in 5th set?

[????]

They also don't have that antiquated grass stuff Mick

[Mick Mac]

Grass is good. 15 set matches are bad.

[Brendan]

I?ve always been a fan of grass myself.

It could also be spead-betting somewhere for example in Asia.

[GSJ57]

I just teared up a little for the Frenchman!! Amazing match.

[Mick Mac]

I have worked out, in my wisdom, that the US guy won 92-91 over the 5 sets.

I think they were quite evenly matched.

[katie1997]

Mick Mac I think you're right. Evenly matched. Yes.

Whereas Haase and Rafa are not ;)

[Mick Mac]

thanks katie. Yes definately quite close. I think we are agreeing.

Now, tennis players may not be the brightest bunnies but to spread bet on number of games and then rig a match on normal spreads I might take the game to say 15/15 max. Taking it to 92 would be both greedy and obvious.

Me too - zut alors, I wanted to give him un tout p'tit cuddle. Slightly heartbreaking.

You could peck him on the cheek, or is it both? Merde...I never know with French

[RosieH]

Well I was taught French kissing on an exchange to Lyon away back when - not much cheek action there Quids

Did you find a use for a Bidet?

That;ll be the Paul Hogan solution - brushing your teeth.
