What’s Boris like

Raahh I’ve just managed to convince myself that Rafa is going to lose - hopefully I will be proved very wrong and it will be a very dull and easy win for him (here’s hoping!) I know what you mean about everything seeming to be against him.

Private that's basically what I shouted at the tv

TheOnly I know, it's all looking a bit thin on the ground already...

Fizzy I am always nervous about Rafa playing- even when he plays RG. He's so vulnerable to losses at times, I just wish he was playing someone else and he had a fighting chance of getting to the next round.

Just Nick pissing about might put him off his game- and Kyrgios will no doubt get up to something.

I've switched to "GB's Edmund" as iPlayer is describing him, just to see what Boris is up to

I like Norrie so I'll be rooting for him.

I am trying to put the Rafa match to the back of my mind because I am nervous about it.

Fernando is wearing the outfit of doom though

Me too Jane. It doesn't bear thinking about.

Karen beat Djok in Paris last year. For that reason alone, he makes my Christmas list. .

Then he changed racquets and it all went wayward for a bit.

He's changed back now.

Private Stella has to get some successes.

Did Inverdale just call Nando "a tortured Spanish genius" or am I officially hallucinating?!

Well he also said he was quintessentially Spanish. That's because he is Spanish.

Verdasco that is

the commentary has not disappointed in it's crap-ness, has it?

'he blew it'
say it like it is John!

Woah Boris is not one for blending into the crowd is he?!

John is so harsh with his comments at times!!

Now, do Annabel's rules on medical time outs count, if it's a Brit?

That's why I love him Private

Boris is going for the Brideshead Revisited look today.

I nipped out when Kyle was winning. Argh!
Fabbiano vs Verdasco will be a good contest.

I'll give you three words!

Brideshead Revisited
He just needs a teddy bear. Surely Stan can oblige?
