I am assuming you don’t live in Dingwall, as it’s been utterly pishing down all morning. There is surface water on the fields near me, and also anywhere the drainage is a bit slow. The car park where I live is a miniature Loch. With the forecast to see rain fall until after 6pm even if the game started there isn’t any guarantee it would finish. And then you potentially could have travel stopped for travelling fans on the way home.

It's a free flowing game of Rugby and Scotland have played well to bury their hoodoo against Ireland and they lead 45 - 28 on 77 minutes. Both teams have got four tries and have secured bonus points. South Africa are going to win the group on points difference, and Scotland second due to head to head. What's to stop Ireland just conceding another try? That puts us top on points scored, and SA out on head to head.

How old would you guess the person was? There is a time frame before County came into the SPFL where people would have a “big” team and attend County games. So it would certainly be more common for 40 odds and above. Still a wrong ‘un for sure

Apart from Ross County who do it every season. Seven points already is going against the script.

Pretty good win for GB in the Davis Cup to go through to the finals that will be played in November. The draw is on Wednesday I think and could be drawn against Serbia or Italy. For me Novak has been the GOAT since he won all four in a row playing perfect tennis. As his physicality has declined he has adapted his game more and more. He’ll still be in a good place to challenge for all four next year too. Should wipe Court’s 24 from the record books.

Well looks like Supergirl has discovered her Kryptonite. Ostapenko pulls off the shock and now moves 4-0 clear in their head to head. Coco Gauff will be the clear favourite to make it through, but Ostapenko can hit through anyone if she feels in the mood. Wozniacki has the same issues as Murray in that the counter punching style just doesn’t work against those that have power. After Coco went the break down in the third, she just reset, got more aggressive and just blew her away. Medvedev Vs De Minaur may be a good match tonight, Medvedev has lost his last two matches against him. Probably the best chance of an upset tonight, although if Rublev isn’t playing well Draper could beat him.

They aren’t fixing it. Why do you think they wanted Grogu and extracted their blood in the mandalorian? They made a force wielding Gustavo Fring clone before they killed them all. (Or did they?). They are fixing the whole Palpatine came back from nowhere hole instead. Do feel that this is just a new Rebels Season rather than the Ashoka Show. The latest episode was fairly middling as well, with just some Easter eggs to make it exciting.

A lot of that was Magnus Norman coming in and introducing the block return to allow him to smash the ball of both wings. Murray should have went and got Norman in 2019 after the hip resurfacing. Even Baez last night against Medvedev who is 5 ft 9 was absolutely smashing it. And was unlucky not to take the third set, a timely rain interruption killed his momentum as he moved 5-2 up. I can’t see Medvedev troubling either of Alcaraz or Novak. Alcaraz Sinner is shaping up to be the best QF if they both get through.

Absolutely spot on. Medvedev is probably the more modern counter puncher, stands ways back but still smashes the ball. His serve gets exposed more as he can’t grind points as much as he could. His ambition is still to be seeded at Wimbledon next year, and that starts with trying to get seeded for the Australian. His team should be looking at the entry lists of any 125, 250 and 500 and entering any potential weaker fields.

Dimitrov saves three match points to win in the fifth set tie breaker.

Doesn’t appear to be any issues with the injuries in terms of the serve so far, that may change the longer we go in the match, but he’s playing pretty aggressively. Took the first set 6/2 but could have been 6/0. Dimitrov in deep shite in his match, he either wins in five and will be tired, or he is out. Murray would prefer to play Molcan.

With the victory over Bublik Thiem got his first win at a Grandslam in two years! It has opened up nicely for him, so hopefully he takes advantage. He’s had Del Potro’s luck with injuries. As Lex said I’d expect Murray to get through today, can’t see him getting past Dimitrov if he can’t serve. A similar injury last year before Wimbledon and he was struggling with his serve. Should be a good day of tennis ahead.

Holger Rune out.

It’s available on Now Tv, you just have to go into the US Open main screen, and they have it listed as bonus streams.

Might look into getting sky stream instead of now tv then. Id imagine it was just the broadcast feed playing silly buggers rather than your connection. Although you’d think they’d have that pretty much sorted with it being on a show court rather than than little court 18!

Mine is fine, but I have it through Now TV. So the only choice of court is whatever Sky are showing on their channels. Does Sky have a red button option with multi courts? That was the best thing about Discovery/Amazon any match you wanted to watch you could watch.

I thought it was lazy. I can understand someone from the dark side's hatred keeping them alive, but the shittiest Jedi Padawan ever surviving? Qui-Gon Jinn got done a dirty there. A secret map to where a main character is? Yawn. It does hint that they will be taking some of the story from Timothy Zhan's work so it will no doubt get better as the series advances. After the high bar Andor set it was disappointing. Rosaria Dawson was excellent as Ahsoka though. Chopper was great too. 6/10 a middling start with potential to come.

John Stewart scored County’s 1000th goal since moving to the full league setup. It was said it was County’s 1000th senior goal, but they forgot all County’s Scottish Cup goals prior to 1994 in that count. I’m sure at the time I counted back and it was Andy Barrowman it got County’s 1000th goal in the SFL or Scottish Cup. Also the Highland League is a senior league, so they forgot that too.

I had a bet builder on and elected to take a cash out when Novak had his medical time out and he looked like he was going to retire. Alcaraz was a set and 3-1 up. Went to my bed. A cash out was better than a void. Wstched the highlights this morning, and the level they can play is just tremendous. Novak will play until he can still compete with him, but it’s not going to be long until he’s usurped. Feel like a genius.

We learned that from Partick

What a wonderful fifth set by Alcaraz, almost Djokovicesque. Worthy champion, and the Big Four dominance of Wimbledon is over. It’s been 21 years since Hewitt won Wimbledon, since that only Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray have won it.

Time warnings are independent of code violations. Time warnings - just a warning, you lose your first serve, you lose a point. Code violations - just a warning, point penalty, game penalty, match default.

The only person to defeat Djokovic in a Grand Slam deciding set was Andy Murray.

Two horrendous errors after the time violation and Alcaraz finished it with a brilliant return. One set a piece. Alcaraz showing no sign of cramping this time.

Djokovic is just an utter giant in terms of knowing what moves to make to extract errors or get easy points. A break down and plays a solid game to get the break back. Anything Alcaraz has in his locker Djokovic has seen in playing 150 matches against the Big Four. He’s just like a chess grand master.
