That’s excellent. 

 

My favourite ever player him. 

[sir roger]

Nothing to do with tennis but somebody told me once that facetious is the only English word with all of the vowels in it and in the right order. No idea if it's right.

I would suggest that you've been rather abstemious in your research.

Doesn't really work, to be fair. Almost always related to drinking.

Food as well. Yeah, I googled the meaning, never fucking heard of the word before. You facetious bastard. * Only joking.........

[Elite]

I'll have 5 from the bottom and 1 from the top please Carrol.

Probably quite a few words with aeiou in order actually because we have so many words ending "ious". Loads will be really fucking obscure scientific stuff.

Anyway...when does Nadal/Federer kick off? As soon as this game finishes?

Sceduled for 17:15 European time. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

The Robot through in 4 sets, looking ominous.

Andy or Roy?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Should be a cracking match this. Reckon Nadal will win in 4 sets myself, although I'd prefer Federer to win. 

[Mendoza]

Federer takes the first set, high quality stuff

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Yeah, not surprising the first set went to a tie breaker.

Come on the Fed.

Rodge is 38 fucking years old. Let that sink in folks.

 

Will always be my favourite player.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Nadal breaks to go 3-1 up in the second set.

To be still competing at the highest level at that age, in a sport which absolutely ravages your body is phenomenal.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I wish I had his medical team supporting me. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Nadal blitzed him in that second set.

Match will be decided on Fed's serve. Seriously deserted him second set

Back to normal now. Thankfully.

Me too mate.

 

Having a few million quid in the bank certainly helps your recovery. I doubt Roger goes to his local GP and gets put on a 3 month waiting list to see a physio student.
