Can't think of a damn thing but you get the gist

Well done Maria. Looks like once it got to 5 all in the second there was a battle.

Jane I was disappointed Maria didn't seem to be wearing a sparkly top like she wore at RG. . I liked that.

Brooksby gave Djok a bit of a scare in his first set, I see- shame it ended up the same as usual.

Hopefully Matteo can see him off.

Daniil is sailing through this match.

Commentators avoiding Botic's name by calling him 'the Dutchman' .

Tim has been practicing it though .

And now Botic has broken serve.

Like the folk song.

I had to go off for a while- was not expecting this turn around.

I don't really think Botic has much energy left to put up much of a fight in the next set though.

Me too. Last I heard they were talking about the trainer and I thought Botic was on the ropes!

I'm torn between wanting this to be a good match- and needing Daniil to win, because I think he stands the best chance of beating Djok.
Although, Djok has looked a bit shaky in parts- and Matteo might cause an upset- plus Sascha is also in that section.

Delpo!!

It's terrible because I'm constantly looking at the draw and thinking things like if Harris beats Zverev will he be able to beat Djok, etc.

I know, I do that.

I can't enjoy underdogs winning anymore, because my first though is- they won't beat Novak.

They both look knackered. Although, Daniil always does .

Well, Botic put up a late fight, but it wasn't to be.

Well done Daniil.

Switched onto the Emma match early, to an interview with Andy Murray- terrible camera angle .

After a quick start from Bencic, Emma has eased herself into the match and broken back to 3-3.
The annoying shadow is there, that Jim is always wittering about .

It was a terrible angle Raah - I did the same and switched over during the interview and wasn’t sure it was him at first!

Emma is doing well but it is much closer than her previous matches.

I thought you meant Jim until I read the second half of the sentence.

Jane

It is a closer match, but that is to be expected really. She is doing well so far but I think the second set could be tougher.

I keep thinking Emma's lace is undone, because there is a white line on the floor near her foot.

I really thought this would be too tough for Emma but she’s making this look so easy!

Belinda needs darker spankies to match her dress.

Er. Go Emma!

Emma is keeping her head every time it looks like things are about to go the wrong way- which is really good.

Obviously not over yet though…
