I thought about creating this because there are lots of good happenings every week that are not perhaps a thread worth on their own. I have seen quite a few users that follow CH tour regularly notice something funny and post those on the "Live commentatory thread". But those get lost there quite easily if there is some ATP activity happening.

So anything that happens. Doesnt have to be much. Horrible linecall or Jay Clarke's massive 2nd serve. Anything goes.

Dont have to make GIFs or anything.

I remember one time someone smashed his racquet and then realized it was his only one. Ended up asking his opponent if he could borrow him one :ROFLMAO: Anyone remember what match was that?

I would really appreciate if you could post here and there. I will be using this to ask my stupid questions that are not worth creating a new thread.

Zeppieri beat Uchiyama in the Shanghai final and they play each other again in a couple of days

Molcan wins back to back Challengers and is almost back into the top 200 :rocker:

Good old Trungelliti with his second title of the year

Kenny De Schepper is a player I haven't seen in a long while but he has qualified in Reins 100 and is playing against...Stan Wawrinka for a 38 year-old vs. 40 year-old battle! :eek2:

Two weird things happening in Biella:

Moro Canas double bagels Iannaccone [LL]
Arnaboldi gets a walkover against Travaglia. Iannaccone apparently was the only player to sign up to be a LL?

Haven't seen that in a while, three more Italians lost in the FQR so them especially you would expect to hang around until R1 is completed

GSM Couacaud over Kukushkin in Rennes.

7-5 6-3. Really comfortable on serve. I wasn't expecting this result at all since this is a good surface for Kukushkin and Enzo has had a pretty dreadful season. Happy to see it though! Enzo is a fun player who is ranked faaaaaaar below his ability at the moment.

Our beloved Taro Daniel has a huge problem, defends 255 points in the rest of the year and only got 83 so far. 445 in the live rankings. And that after finishing the previous three years inside of the top 100.

To add: I have an LG TV and in the Netherlands one of the channels it offers is the Tennis Channel :rotfl: They have Szczecin at the moment, with commentary.

Guido Andreozzi (ranked 47th in the world in doubles) plays another tournament with Daniil Golubev, so weird. The guy is not a good player at all and ranked 414 in doubles. Surely someone in the top 100 would be willing to play with Andreozzi and be seeded? Maybe Golubev has a rich father and he pays Andreozzi to play with him??
this is hilarious :D

Serving to stay in the set leading 40-30 down 5-6, Golubev hits two double faults in a row, all serves into the absolute bottom of the net. Broken. Set gone
Let's just say Golubev knows how to make a lot of money in tennis even when he loses a match
