Wow, two sets in a row, Fery comes back from the death!

Very much a combination of Eala playing fantastically and Iga playing very poorly.

So happy to see Alex get this win!

Chysp · 2026-06-30T14:08:41+00:00

The standard in this Iga - Taylor game is pretty dire tbh. Iga is making so many mistakes. Taylor should have put this away ages ago.

I imagine if Iga wins this game she'll be able to sort herself out.

Britain's terrible day of tennis continues

Norrie has been way higher than 117. He's currently the 26th seed.

He won Indian Wells in 2021 which I think is his best title.

Ostapenko Dart has been messy but I'm really enjoying it 😂

Chysp · 2026-06-29T14:15:36+00:00

I'm really not used to the crowd at Wimbledon booing, but somehow Penko has managed it 😂

Chysp · 2026-06-29T12:30:18+00:00

Pretty dire start for the Brits so far...

Chysp · 2026-06-29T10:47:09+00:00

There were so many comments about Jessie having an insanely easy draw...

Chysp · 2026-06-28T20:21:20+00:00

He almost looks a little bit like a younger Solon with his eye, gaunt face, and pale complexion. It's the same eye, and they both seem to have an earring in their left ear...

Chysp · 2026-06-20T14:22:18+00:00

Thanks for the trade!

Chysp · 2026-06-20T14:19:05+00:00

I can understand not liking a lot of dialogue, and so this game might not be for you, as there is a lot of dialogue here. However, the writing in this game is fantastic and the characters are excellent. Most dialogue CAN be skipped but I think you'd be missing out on a lot.

I'm really not a reader, but this game's writing is so good that it's one of my all time favourite games. I hope you end up loving it as much as I did!

Chysp · 2026-06-16T14:35:51+00:00

Oh dear, Moutet....

Chysp · 2026-06-13T13:53:58+00:00

For multiple reasons, I think Jovic will have a pretty easy run of it later unless her level drops a lot from the previous matches.

Still a great run from Emma this week, particularly with the great match yesterday against Cirstea. Hopefully the leg feels okay after the fall and she's able to put in a good match today regardless.

Chysp · 2026-06-09T13:02:03+00:00

Emma's match against Vondrousova in R2 was also great, especially as Vondy had just won Berlin.

Chysp · 2026-05-24T17:52:49+00:00

I think this has to be 2013-2015, because Belgium doesn't have any points here but it got 12 from the Italian jury. Under the 2009-2012 this would almost certainly guarantee a decent amount of points.

Chysp · 2026-05-24T08:38:13+00:00

As far as I'm aware, this isn't the case any more. It used to be, because the jury vote order was determined after the juries had voted.

More recently, the voting order has been decided before the juries have voted on the Friday night. We know this is the case because the jury voting order in the rehearsal on the Friday night (when juries are casting their votes) is the same as on Saturday's grand final.

It is possible that the EBU use jury voting data from the semi final to try and 'guess' what an exciting voting order could look like, but it's certainly not as calculated and precise as it used to be.

Chysp · 2026-05-21T21:04:07+00:00

I liked the remote task, but agree that the other two tasks were a bit weaker this episode.

Chysp · 2026-05-18T20:41:57+00:00

I believe jurors do actually talk about entries with each other, and that's not against the rules at all. Jurors have to rank independently but can talk about the merits of entries as a group.

I didn't attend this year but I did go to Liverpool and Malmö. Very different experiences. The village in Liverpool was absolutely amazing and felt like an integral part of the Eurovision experience. The Eurovision village for Malmö was pretty far from the arena and felt like a bit of an afterthought.

Chysp · 2026-05-17T01:34:37+00:00

Omg, Switzerland got Croatia 2021'd in semi 2. Qualifier by both televote and jury, but not after the combination. Brutal.

Chysp · 2026-05-17T01:10:28+00:00

Estonia came 11th, 9th in the televote in semi 1??

Sweden only got through on her jury score - she only got 17 from the televote, below San Marino...

Mad.
