Tennis Thread: Countdown to the Return of Delpo at a Very Specific Time

[JaneJeffer]

New thread for February. Happy St. Brigid's Day everyone

Rafa's clay season outfit, apparently no more napkins

Aww, was getting quite fond of the check/frilly bits

But reading the list- does it mean he has something else planned for RG? Maybe the napkins will make a return

Yes I noticed RG wasn't mentioned! Perhaps there's a special outfit for that hopefully sleeveless

I know. Very about the Return of the Sleeves.

Raahh are you free from horsepittle? I do hope so.

Shagavalov will win everything & make me happy!!

magi I am .

I'm on a tour of the local ones it seems (not even kidding, because of this last kidney stone thing, I will be referred back to a different one for the stone clinic.).

Shaggy might stand a chance , in the next gen battle.

I like Shaggy. He made a video of himself sunbathing magi if that's the kind of thing that might interest you?!

Jo Willy lost in the Miami qualifiers

Oh Jo Willy.

Well hello there...

oohhh.

Thanks for sharing that Jane

Some good matches in Miami tomorrow (ignoring glaring great hole left by Rafa and Delpo, obv)
Lopez v Paire
Gulbis v Kecmanovic who did well in IW
David Ferrer is also playing. Women's matches look good as well (Azarenka is into round 2, plays Garcia; Kvitova v Sakkari).

Always nice to see Ferrer on schedule- not long until he goes out now, I think he's planning on that being Madrid.

Not seen Paire for a while, wonder what the state of his hair/beard is?

*bows out

I saw a photo of Paire yesterday. His hair is very short and his beard is huge

Really want to see thw Paire - Lopez match! For the tennis, of course mostly

Just tuned in. Feli has the same kit sponsor as Fognini these days so he's look quite daring.

You were right about the Paire beard Jane

Omg this coverage is driving me insane already.
1 the commentators
2 annoying tapping sound
3 constant filming of random people in the crowd at every opportunity
4 did I mention the commentators

Feli is just clinging on here... 2-2 final set

Good win for Lopez, close match. Plays Grigor next - should be another good one.

I see Ferrer had an easy win over Querry but he's got Zverev next. Good win for Evans but he has Shaggy next. At the risk of being booted off this thread, I want Dan to win but he won't . I'll virtually always back the Brit, unless it's AC of course

I saw those two (Evans and Shaggy) were due to play each other kazza, and thought of the thread favourites straight away!!

I think Evans has a good chance tbh. He has played a lot of tennis recently hasn't he... not necessarily a bad thing though.

I can't believe Ferrer is playing Zverev again!! They seem to have played each other every week lately.

I think I read somewhere that Evans has played more than 30 matches this year already private , which has got to catch up with him at some point, both mentally and physically.

I'd usually back a Brit but Shaggy is a different matter!
