Could do Office Space tonight, or any night really unless there's a good tennis match on...

Tomorrow night im assuming Barty will be on 7pm, so could do it after.

There'll be good matches every night from here on I think. Go Djokovic

 

[Shell]

Well after Joker's match?

 

[Shell]

Actually thats probably silly, men are on second.

Nm.

Halep v Williams should be a good one too.

 

[Shell]

Yeah I'll be barracking for Joker, lesser extent Nadal.. and Barty.

And of course the souvlaki man.


Everyone else can piss off.

 

[Shell]

Man the greeks here will go off their head if he makes the final..

 

[atlas1]

Maybe tomorrow night because Rafa shouldn't have too much trouble with Tiafoe

 

[Shell]

Good idea.

s**t all else on as well on a Tuesday night.

Oh i want to see him play too! The yank??

Yesterday Nadal was walking over his opponent and ******* nine had no extra games on GEM, so we missed his 4 setter. *img morons- someone even rang up AW during Muck on the pluck and complained about that same thing. So dumb- Nadal is winning 6-0 ffs..

Yeah Frankie tiafoe. He upset Anderson and Dimitrov so far in this tournament but Rafa is just Rafa so I can't see him making it any further. Good to see players like him, tsitsipas, Bautista agut making it to the later stages

 

[Shell]

Yup. And massive pay days for them as well, which will help their careers.

Tennis would be very expensive to compete, unless you're making big bucks thru sponsorship.

Think about it- you play for an AFL club you get paid, contract, everything is covered. Coaches, etc.

Youre a tennis player you gotta pay for all that.

 

[atlas1]

I know nothing about Coric or Pouille though

 

[Shell]

The end if nigh really for the big 3.. esp Fed.

Wonder what tennis will look like in 5 years time..

A general rule of thumb I heard for how much sport can cost is - the smaller the ball, the more expensive it is to play

 

[Shell]

Maybe even 3.

Hahaha, i've never heard that before.

Yeah suppose so.

 

[atlas1]

Maybe even 3.

Zverev, tsitsipas, de minaur...not to mention the blokes living in fed/Rafa/djoker's shadow who finally can pinch a few titles

 

[Shell]

Let's hope so.

No one can beat time and the effects of age. No one.

Except Dustin Fletcher

 

[Shell]

But even he had to finally quit footy..

 

[atlas1]

Hahaha, i've never heard that before.

Yeah suppose so.

I think the main examples were golf, tennis, and cricket. Maybe even hockey. But it's a lot easier to play soccer, basketball or footy in terms of equipment. Get one ball and you're set

There's also a degree of "snobiness" and exclusiveness with tennis and golf... and rowing you could chuck in.

You need money to play these sports, there's no doubt about that.

 

[atlas1]

There's a good game of NFL on right now on 7mate if that floats your boat

 

[Shell]

No it does not.

 

[Shell]

It sinks my boat.
