I remember looking in an estate agents window when we were in Monaco and there was a flat at 42 million Euros.

Supermarket was ok though as it was standard Carrefour prices without the tax added so worked out cheaper than buying in France.
Yes the apartment prices are extortionate for the size of the places. It would need to be tax free to afford one.

They all talk too much IMO.

40 Million of that is just for the view... until a contractor comes along and puts up a taller complex in front.

There are so many high rise buildings there now they've ruined it. It reminded me of a council estate. Except with views of luxury yachts.

Youzhny is retiring. Shame. No need for the crowd to boo. Djoko must be the freshest player at the USO now.

Wow Novak! It's not that great for him really, he needs some matches!

Imagine fans of Djoko travelling from Europe to watch his matches and paying all that money for flights, accommodation and tickets and they only get to see 4 games in 2 matches.

Konta was brilliant. Had a feeling Bencic would win before hand.

I hope Kyle can beat Isner. Would mean a big 4th round tie against Djokovic!

When did John Mcenroe start commentating on Eurosport
He's been dropping into the ES commentary box for a few years during the French Open. Now they have the US Open it seems the trend is continuing.

Castles drooling over hunky tennis players is rubbing off Mac.

Looks like Djoko is going to have another WO. How jammy is he getting all these injured players.
Not only that but he's also had some big threats knocked out of his half, namely Cilic and Raonic, meaning he has likely a couple of Americans in Isner and sock, then Nadal and he's in the final.

In the end he's likely to have as much court time as he would have in winning a masters 1000, not bad really.

And he is playing great as well

Do you think these players that played in the Olympics are maybe getting injured because they competed in it

Davis Cup and Olympics in the same year is too much.

Kygious and Evans is a hilarious pairing. Both never stop for breath and the height difference is funny. There are four highlighters on the court. Nike must be loving it.

Nike should be issuing people with shades to watch them!

Nick & Dan seem quite chummy.
