Tennis: Welcome to Miami

Noticed the last thread is almost full

Good Evans

The timing of Rafa's first match is a bit rubbish, so I will probably miss most of it. Which is a bit rubbish.
We seem to be back to no commentary this morning for the Rublev match. .

Jane

Think Rafa is on later but I’m not sure if I’ll get to see him

Yes, it says 'not before 4pm' for Rafa, so 3pm here (?), so I will be on the school run/at an appointment unfortunately. Unless it rains and he gets delayed to start til about 4.30 (our time) .

Dan's a noisy bugger isn't he?

I'm just score watching in my car.

Looks like the wrong Foggy turned up today. Lost his first set 6-0. There have been a few bagels across the matches today.

This is the first match I've seen or half seen as I'm trying to do other stuff at the same time. Mourner puts me in mind of a monk. He's very serene looking. I don't recognise this court. It looks like someone's garden.

Dan has a medic out.

Moutet not mourner damn you autocorrect.

I was watching a bit earlier Jane and I thought it looked like someone’s garden with a little dry stone wall and a bit of patchy grass with some random boxes for towels!

Rafa’s match has started already and he’s already two games down!

Oh dear Moutet has lost the plot his serenity.

I'm afraid to look at Rafa!

Fizzy I've just got home. He likes to start slowly, does Rafa but going 3 games down would be rubbish!

Yes come on Rafa - we don’t need any more stress (I don’t think I’ve heard of his opponent)

Benoit has arrived to support his countryman.

No, I don't need anymore stress .

Foggy appears to have decided to join his match. He was 6-0 3-0 down last time I looked!

Vamos losing to a qualifier in Barcelona of all places, on the court named after you would not be good Rafa.

Dan got a set back so I'm watching Rafa now. Vamos!

Quite a crowd at this match!

I think I might walk the dog.

Can I come too?

Yes no pressure Rafa having the court named after him

Jane

He seems to be carrying on where he left off the Rublev match.

I don't like it.

Sorry Felix but I think we need Uncle Toni back.

Yes come back uncle Toni!

The weather in Barcelona looks rubbish - Rafa is probably feeling the cold
