THE COOLER: US OPEN SHIRT CHANGES, JIMMY TAU NEAR MISS, BET BOOST STREAK…

With Cape Town gripped in an icy spell it really is cooler here on The Cooler. In fact, the coffee machine is where we’re huddled this morning finding out the big sporting stories.

When we saw Kaizer Chiefs take a 2-0 lead last night we thought that Jimmy Tau was going to land his whopping ABSA Premiership tip. Alas, they leaked two late goals and disappointed the people.

Find out what @Jimmytau2 thinks will happen tonight in the #AbsaPremiership.

Big Kev rumbles on at Flushing Meadow and records some pretty impressive stats with his power serve.

We landed our third US Open BET Boost in as many days with this little beauty.

BET: US OPEN BET BOOSTS

Driving in to work today I heard a spark of outrage on Cape Talk about the treatment of Alize Cornet at the US Open.

Now Cape Talk aren’t scared of a little bit of outrage, but this time it seems fully justified.

In 38’C heat, Cornet came back from a break and found her shirt was back to front. She changed it around and got a court violation from the umpire.

Ludicrous! I had to check my calendar and see if it was, in fact, still 2018.
