Tennis: Welcome to Miami

[JaneJeffer]

Noticed the last thread is almost full

The old insta translation strikes again. They have Rafa's mis-hit with "when the sun passes a bad time".

What does that mean?

So cute

awww! That is cute.

My distraction on the other thread Jane was due to score watching.

I am delighted to say, Karatsev won .

I'm waiting for an injury announcement and Djok withdrawing from Madrid I hope.

Well done Karatsev! Djok only gets injured after he loses.

He won't like losing 2 weeks on the trot to low-ish ranked players.

Oh no Djok won’t be happy about losing in the Djokovic cup - apparently his name and face were everywhere!

Fizzy I thought the same about Djok. It was obviously a tournament he expected to walk- once Thiem pulled out, on paper there looked like no competition.

He's becoming a dangerous player, Karatsev.

I've been watching the doubles.
The Dj seems to have a playlist from about 6/7 years ago .

Sounds very modern and up to date to me Raahh - I always think of things as "new" songs then realise they're about 10 years old

I'm not watching just yet but am looking forward to the singles final.

I am getting very excited about the final now. I just hope Rafa doesn't blow it.

@Raahh

I am getting very excited about the final now. I just hope Rafa doesn't blow it.

I'm nervous. Stef played so well yesterday and Rafa needs glasses was a bit iffy at times. We need a nervous emoji.

I know- I am prepared to take the dog out, if I need to .

Rafa had a better day yesterday, but hasn't been consistent. Sometimes he takes a while to settle into the season- I think this is one of those years. He said himself, he's not played enough matches this year.

I've been listening to a Tennis Now podcast about the mental problems Domi has been having. He seems to be having a slump. Hope he'll be ok.

Poor Domi. It does sound like he has been struggling a bit. So much pressure was heaped on him after he won the US Open, it was liek- you've done it now, you can do it again.
It doesn't always work like that.

Hello all. I’ve not watched much tennis since last year, so I’ve not joined you on these threads. Glad to see that you’ve kept up to date with the tennis, and that the love for Rafa and the meh (at best!) for Djok is still going strong! I’m all set for Rafa at 3pm, but is there commentary on Amazon? Its a bit like watching outside courts on the red button here - I don’t have any commentary, but I’m wondering whether I am doing something wrong.

My prime is being annoying - I can't get into the main bit (with commentary) just the individual match.

Mind you, after yesterday's commentary, I'm not sure I'm that bothered .

Hi @WellTidy. If you click on the event rather than the individual match you will get commentary.

Afternoon WellTidy - there are two options on Prime- if you go into on the main menu (the one that says Barcelona Open) it should bring up the match with commentary. If you go into individual matches- it doesn't.

Private figured this out- I got commentary by accident one day, and was clueless as to how .

Or- what she said .

I now have commentary. I might regret this decision. .

Mine is working ok. I wish it wasn't after hearing them quote Rafa saying he doesn't know if he can beat Stef!

Thanks! I’ve found it - definitely wouldn’t have been able to without you. I will see how it goes as to its quality but I was feeling quite lonely watching without commentary! Went out for lunch today and much as it was lovely to have something that someone else had cooked, we were in the shade and it was rather windy. Looks so nice in Barcelona.
