@LN78 Yeah it's going to be a big ask, but if anyone can dig out a performance it's Andy. I've just seen he's got Roberto Bautista Agut next who's managed to beat Andy the last few times they have played. At least he also had a 5 setter today.
@LN78 And still he's required to go and answer questions from the press shortly after the match, could be awhile before he gets to sleep. I've always thought tennis must be tricky to get physically ready for when they often only have a rough idea of what time they are playing unless they are first on. They both must have also gone several hours since having anything but liquids and energy gels.
I get tennis is tricky to schedule with varying game lengths (and potential weather issues) but yeah, Martina is right. One of the commentators even mentioned at one point you would never see other various sports people competing at 2/3am.
@LN78 Iâm a religious tennis fan and now raging that the rights have gone to Discovery+, a non-entity with basically nothing else. If it was on Prime then Iâd have been watching the Murray match but I had to just follow it through a live blog.
@nessisonett I watched it on Eurosport (through Virgin Media) but much prefer it when Prime has it. They do good coverage of a lot of the tour but unfortunately other media have most of the Slams.

Did you see that I drew my Chibi Boxers in cute looking ?
I don't even portray my fictional boxer characters as badass looking dudes like you oftenly see from digital arts.
Even my current avatar as Skyboxer Eagle Arnold doesn't even look like badass fierce fighter.
It still have some cartoonish looking.
Welp, this is depressing, though unsurprising. Considering how many Republican state politicians have been trying to snag lists of transgender citizens, right-wing rhetoric on the issue is now taking on an increasingly genocidal tone.
Left-wing gun culture needs to become a thing. The powers that be are neither able nor willing to protect vulnerable LGBT citizens from the rising tide of hate and violence directed at them.
Andy Murray is definitely fighting against his own body as well as his opponent in this match. Bautista Agut is just too consistent I canât see Andy getting much into the match unfortunately.
The result was pretty much expected with that match but it was a lot closer than I thought it would be. How Andy managed to play that well after the last few days Iâve no idea. Quality match.
@nessisonett Totally agree. Makes me hopeful he can get some more wins and get his ranking back up so maybe by the time the French Open comes around (if he decides to play) or Wimbledon he will have a much easier draw into the tournament.
@NeonPizza Interesting that your passion is both for retro gaming and for the latest maxed out graphical and frame rate updates. Itâs great to live in two ends of the technological spectrum, I guess. đ If only we could get Super Mario 2 in 8K at 144 fps, eh?

Apparently there are kids identifying as cats at my old academy đł. Made it into the National and it's all over Facebook. Kids are either taking the p**s or it's a serious cry for help.
