Tennis Thread:- The players are all on holiday, 2018 is coming to an end, but 2019 is around the corner and there will be lots to look forward to!

Although I can't think about January yet...

I'm still in denial it's nearly December- which means ds will be 16 , and I will be 47 and another year will be over.

Alex de M is having a bit of a wobble too- having lead easily for 2 sets. And he could meet Rafa next. Would Rafa prefer to play Laaksonen?

And RBA is through. I don't mind Millman, but I am pleased for BustaGut.

I like Millman but fair play to RBA - he was mad for it at the end!!

Rafa means business today.

Wow.

Happy days. I do love watching Rafa in good form.

He's in the zone.

What happened there?

I think Ebden has reached the "to hell with it I'm going for everything I've got nothing to lose" stage.

Jane it does look that way.

Aww Rafa

Such Aussie humour there

That was lively.

Serving for the match.

Vamos

My coverage seems to be a minute behind!

Well done Rafa.

Vamos

Yay!!

Why are we not getting to hear Rafa's on court interview?

A de M is through- plays Rafa next...

I love his red top and shoes. He's very happy.

He's flinging his shoes to the crowd

AdeM looks fresh as a daisy!

Oh great Sharapova next

Definitely mute the volume now Private

I better go and do some work.

Shrieky? Oh blimey. I'd rather have the heavy breathing noises.
