Tennis: Welcome to Miami

[JaneJeffer]

Noticed the last thread is almost full

Come on Dan! I misjudged my lunch break so got to go back to work now - rubbish!

Well done Dan!

I didn't expect this match to go on this long- but the good thing is, it will delay the Rafa match quite a bit, so I should get to see all of it.

Yay! King Dan

Blimey! Well done Dan.

So- how much are we betting on him winning RG?

Wow! Well done Dan - GOAT!

Wouldn't surprise me at this stage

He needs more practice at the 'camera' signing .

Oh look at Annabel's homage to AC!

GOAT

I hadn't twigged the butterflies, Jane .

Bloody hell! That was a bit unexpected, given the pressure Goffin was piling on in the third set. Fantastic!
I don't know how he's going to find the energy against Stefanos tomorrow though, given that Stef has only had to play one set today and Dan has been on court a long time and still has a doubles to come (not blushing, but knackered!)

Dan Evans, New King of Clay! 😀😀

All jokes aside, that was another gutsy, clever performance from Evo.

He’s having a great week, wonder if he will drop the dubs now he is in the Semi Final. He and Neal always seem to end up in lengthy match tiebreaks!

Dan is now a career high 25 in the world. I really want him to be seeded at Wimbledon.

Yes that would be good if he was seeded for Wimbledon Science

I must admit I’ve been quite impressed with Dan this last year

Just need the Caspar/Foggy match to go on a bit longer so that I’ll get to see Rafa's match

I had to go and get dd2, and then walk the dog, so have been keeping an eye on my phone and the progress of my favourite Norwegian player .
Doing very well, it seems.

Well done Casper!!

Wobbly start from Rafa. I really like Rublev- but I don't want any upsets today!

Better...

His serve is a bit all over the place today.

Oh come on Rafa!

This is not going to plan. I might have to go and sit on the stairs.

Raahh what’s up with Rafa? I know Rublev can be a bit of a tricky opponent

He just doesn't seem to be able to get his serve going at all- and is a bit out of sorts.

Maybe he's caught toothache .

Reminds me a bit of his match against Diego in Rome- he went into that having played really well all week, and then it all went pear shaped.

Rublev has a really good serve though, even on clay.

I expected him to be a bit worn out after yesterday, but no signs of it.
