Slightly off topic, will the evening athletics be at stupid o'clock each night, or will it be at a more GB friendly time?

I guess it's just one of those things on the thread that jar with me. Like the constant reference to Goffin as short when he isn't.

![]() Disappointed for Aga, no joy at all out of Rio it didn't favour her at all. May as well have been a clay court. I don't want Singapore and 10 million fan favourite/hot shot awards to be the only thing on her resume! ![]() Quote:

Imagine if Andy and Hev win after being reserves.
Andy was disapointed with silver four years ago so will want to go one better. |

Weekend weather forecast for the area where Tara and Laura played their dramatic match: Quote:
* MAXIMUM HEAT INDEX... 100 TO 104 LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY AFTERNOON. POTENTIAL FOR MAX HEAT INDEX GREATER THAN 104 SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON. Who schedules these tournaments?
* IMPACTS... INCREASED RISK OF HEAT-RELATED ILLNESS. HEAT EXHAUSTION LIKELY WITH PROLONGED OUTDOOR EXPOSURE OR STRENUOUS ACTIVITY. * OUTLOOK... RELIEF FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. LIMIT OR RESCHEDULE STRENUOUS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. FIND SHADE AND STAY HYDRATED. CHECK UP ON THE ELDERLY... SICK AND THOSE WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING. NEVER LEAVE KIDS OR PETS UNATTENDED... LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK. |

It is a possibility considering there are only only 16 teams in.

From looking at the start list, I think Konta could make it to the final in New Haven. Whether that's a good thing or not, being so close the the USO, I don't know.

Maybe if you're a character in Eastenders but I have never heard Heather refer to herself that way or heard anyone who speaks about her say it. She just doesn't pronounce her name that way.
I guess it's just one of those things on the thread that jar with me. Like the constant reference to Goffin as short when he isn't. Nah regional accents are all the rage these days. I can be a bit south London but my typical voice is like something off radio 4 because I was made to have elocution lessons as a child (to get rid of the south London). ![]() I do tend to think of Goffin as short though.

Guess not surprising to see Nadal wd from mixed, though I'm sure Mug was not happy.
This was 1R? Why were they not replaced? Or were they? |

Only an hour or so after Murray had warmed down from his tough three-setter against Fabio Fognini to earn a place in Friday’s singles quarter-finals, he and Watson were told the Romanians Monica Niculescu and Florin Mergea had withdrawn

If anyone is interested in seeing the Marc/Rafa celebration in better quality, scroll through the article and there is a vid.
It's too cute, I can't cope with it. |

There was no alts left to replace them. If Heather's plane had been earlier in the day, she would've left Rio also!
