Tennis: Welcome to Miami

[JaneJeffer]

Noticed the last thread is almost full

Really fizzy?
Even Dan would find it laughable to be called the king of clay
At the end of his interview with Tim and Annabel today, they wished him luck for tomorrow and Dan just chuckled and rolled his eyes

I have no idea who Djok thinks he is, really. The whole 'celebration' thing is just nauseating- it wouldn't be so bad, if I thought for one minute he was joking, or there was some irony to it.

I don’t think Djok knows the meaning of irony Raahh

Maybe they were joking about Dan being the king of clay I will definitely be supporting him (against Djok anyway)

Off out for tea now - just trying to work out how many layers to wear - it will be like the French Open when everyone was dressed for a polar expedition - I think I’d rather stay in

Fizzy it really has become too much effort to go out now, hasn't it?
The weather can't make its mond up here.

*mind

taking a leaf out of Djok's book

I was watching that. He just ran to the stands at the end, sat down, and started politely applauding (himself) .
The commentators were baffled .

I am hoping I will get to see some of Rafa's match today- 3rd on again, so could be a similar time to yesterday- but that depends on the earlier matches I suppose. The Tsitsipas/Garin one could be quite tricky. And of course- King of Clay Evans against Djok.

Ha ha that’s funny Sascha

Looking at the schedule today, the organisers clearly think the Evans vs Djok match will be quick because they've scheduled that for 11.20am and then Dan's doubles at 12.20pm.
With all the will in the world and a following wind, Dan isn't going to beat Djok in less than an hour.....
Seriously, the organisers know Dan won't be available at 12.20pm, so why not make him and Neal the afternoon match?

The scheduling is a bit daft. I appreciate they lost a day, but there are enough matches to spread things around a bit.

According to Prime, (time wise) Dan is now supposed to be playing both his singles and doubles matches.

Maybe that's what makes him the new King of Clay- the ability to be in two places at once ? .

Good start for Dan.

It seems to have gone chilly - looked quite warm/sunny at the start of the Tsitsipas match.

Score watching and Dan is 3-0 up with a double break. Maybe it will be a quick win for him (I doubt it). I'm frightened to fire up Prime in case it jinxes him

Oh I need to see this!

Come on Dan!!

I wonder what the result of this poll was?

Lovely photo

Just read that Wimbledon are hoping to add 39 courts, including an 8000-seat show court with a moveable roof.
Tim will be busy

That is a lovely photo of RBA.

Stefanos and the view, eh?

Better get on to the planning office Tim! That's a lot of building.

kazza blimey- Tim will be busy! Imagine the red tape and organisation involved in that! .

In my head, Tim looks just like Bob the Builder now. Dressed like a bank clerk.

.

Meanwhile, looks like Goffin is serving for the first set against Zverev- who might not have much to applaud himself for if he doesn't get a wriggle on.

An old photo of Tim waiting for his time to come...

That is a brilliant picture.

Did they just say that Djokovic is always very sporting on a tennis court?

Er....ok then.
