Tennis: Welcome to Miami

[JaneJeffer]

Noticed the last thread is almost full

Didn’t get to see the match but your commentary has been making me laugh

Rafa is very particular Raahh

I’m glad that other people have seen the fish now - I still think it’s a bit creepy!

Was Rafa still being a bit rubbish? Might watch a bit of the replay (if only to see the flashing fish )

Evans/Skupski are out.

Yes, hopefully it was a 'bag fresh' towel.

.

Fizzy he raced off with the first set, and seemed to be serving ok.

But then I started feeling sorry for Keith, and Rafa fell apart in the second set, and his serve went awol.

He got a bit better in the 3rd, but was still a bit shaky. But he won, which is the main thing. Norrie has to be fancying his chances though!

Yes didn’t he play quite well against him in the Australian Open?

Moral of the story - never feel sorry for anyone ( Especially Djok!)

Fizzy I am learning my lesson.

Just watched a bit of the replay - was Keith wearing tights?

Thought I’d broken the telly but the remote control just needed new batteries - phew! (I wasn’t just trying to fast forward to the bit where Rafa takes his shirt off )

I have finally got to sit down and watch today- I've found the commentary!! .

Sinner/Rublev- Sinner won the first set 6-0, 4-4 in the 2nd.

No sign, as yet, of Mr Fish.

.

Must be warmer in Barcelona today. Not so many of the crowd in woolly jumpers.

Sinner has won his match.

I feel nervous about this match. Maybe I've just had too much coffee.

I'm nervous too. Rafa hasn't exactly looked comfortable this week.

I’ve managed to get commentary!

The weather is looking more Barcelona like today (although it’s pretty warm here in sunny Yorkshire)

Maybe Rafa’s just been missing the sun

Dad dancing.

I want to say that Rafa is playing better today.

But I will probably jinx him.

I'm afraid to say anything yet either

Cam's ball toss is giving me tennis elbow just looking at it!

I've just seen that the mascot has a tail.

So he must be a lizard then?

Still creepy. .

I'm confused why they had to replay that point. Was it because Rafa had already returned it?

That vamos was a bit go fuck yourself

it was a bit- closest he gets to losing it on court, really .

I think maybe Rafa is regretting replaying the point now!

I think I’d like to be in Barcelona right now - it looks lovely (apart from the creepy mascot whatever it is )

Well, this has been a less stressful match.
Vamos

Well, this has been a less stressful match.
