The winners of the repechage will be up against James and Marchant in the next round so...

No, haven't got a hope!

(Although technically it is possible.)

I think the question was can you, not will you

Vogel going early with the mind games.

Repechage. Yes.

Though old fashioned purists prefer repêchage....

Vogel going early with the mind games.

And completely ruled that race.

Though old fashioned purists prefer repêchage....

Never considered the etymology of the word before but that suggests it's a fishing metaphor, which is neat.

Old fashioned pedants probably know where the diacrits on their keyboards are.

Another Hansen who's looking good.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Completely off topic but I use the US International keyboard as the default and it's just above the 6.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Voinov played Morton well there.

 

[HF2300]

Aus looking in all sorts of trouble - Meares just didn't have it there.

 

[iandg]

Meares in a repechage

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Surprise for Meares!

 

[smutchin]

Both Aussies comfortably beaten.
