Tennis: Welcome to Miami

[JaneJeffer]

Noticed the last thread is almost full

And Rublev takes the set- 6-2.

Blimey.

Dan is going win the tournament, isn't he?

My Prime has now gone off- possibly in protest .

Yes I was thinking this could open things up for Dan

Yes maybe he caught Grigor’s toothache - we need Rublev’s cough to come back!

Yikes! Even Rafa seems perplexed by his serve

I will be sad if he loses.
But the second set has started the same way the first did- and it's not looking good.

And I keep having to re-boot Prime. I think it's been on too long today .

When he lost to Foggy at this stage in 2019, he said it was one of the worst clay matches he had played.

This might be worse, if he doesn't find a miracle.

No it’s not looking good

Blimey - I only just tuned in at the start of this set - what's going on here then??

Enjoyed watching Goffin v Evans earlier - would have liked to see Goffin go further but great win for Dan.

It's not going well, that's what, Private.

Well, it is for Rublev .

No idea what is going on with Rafa at all (and am now score watching as my Prime just won't play ball- I waited all day for this!).

I know no one else is really interested but in other news, Dan and Neal have just got through to the semis. After losing the first set 6-1, they won a second set tie break and then walked the Champions tie break 10-4!

Whatever happens tomorrow, Dan has to be the player of the tournament

kazza

It's definitely been his week so far.

kazza I like Dan!

I wish my Prime wasn’t working - not really enjoying this

Fizzy bit of a mixed blessing really.

Pfft. Why couldn't Rafa get the Davidovich Fokina match

If this set goes to a tie break, I am not confident.

Vamos Rafa! At least get this set!

Phew!

He is not making this easy.

But he seems to like losing the first games of the set. .

I like Dan kazza. Don't you remember my prediction that he would win Wimbledon last year, which he did (what do you mean it was cancelled?).

I missed the doubles because I had to go to supermarket and just been checking the score in the Rafa match in the car and nearly had heart failure because I looked at the wrong match and thought he lost 2-0!

He hasn't lost (yet) Jane, but he's not been very convincing (I'm having to watch in fits and starts).

He seems unable to hold serve.

And it's all going pear shaped again.

Oh dear.

Could be over soon

Still- 11 titles isn't a bad run...

oh well.

I think Rafa will declare that was a bad match.

Rublev still has his cough! DH said earlier that he didn’t look well - still won though - well done Andrey
