Tennis: waltzing into winter

[JaneJeffer]

I have images of him sharing a hotel room with AC.

A bit like Eric and Ernie from Sesame Street.

I bet they have to draw straws to see who has to share with AC

Bet he hogs the bathroom with his 'grooming' products.

yes he was looking a bit over groomed earlier!

Well done Rafa- he needed to win this one.

Fairly straightforward for Rafa - well done

Just saw the last 3-4 games. Good win for Rafa.

Annabel and Greg must also be in the bubble

It's starting to look like a big mixed bubble!

I'm not listening to Greg- he jinxed Rafa good and proper in Paris, he was convinced he would win there

Well done Rafa!

Yes Greg started all that weird stuff about if one tennis player could save your life who would you bet on thing in Paris

Glad to see Salisbury and Ram are playing, since Joe had to isolate.

Fizzy- he did. It was quite odd. I mean, it makes a change to have the commentators being positive about Rafa for a change, but it was a bit strange.

Good, confident and comfortable win for Rafa. That’s a great start as Rublev has been a hard man to beat this year.

Maybe this could be the year? I think Rafa could win a tournament playing on the surface of the moon. I think the year end has been problematic for him as he is a sun God! 😀

Thiem vs Rafa is the afternoon match on Tuesday! Result! Wonder if the BBC insisted?

I’m really pleased Salisbury and Ram came through in their opening match. An unlikely pairing on paper but the chemistry is there and they are great to watch.
It’s a shame Jamie and Neal just missed out.

That’s good news about Rafa being on tomorrow afternoon Science - my DM will be pleased - she hasn’t got Amazon so will be able to get her Rafa fix on the BBC.

It’s Djok v Diego this afternoon - shall we have a bet on how long it takes the commentators to say ‘diminutive’?

I’m betting on 2 minutes 45 seconds!

😀

Oh they’re so busy fawning over Djok Diego’s not even had a mention yet!

They’re just calling him Shorty and tiny - at least diminutive sounds a bit more polite!

Fizzy it is really annoying. Far too much time spent discussing Djok.

I think AC needs to get over the fact the event is moving. It's not the first time....

Vamos Diego!

Pfft.

Vamos Diego- make him work for it!.
