Even though the commentators are still talking about Djokovic as though Medvedev hasn't wonHmm.

How much credit does Daniil deserve? All of it! He bloody won Angry.

I'm a bit cross. Can you tell Grin.

Fizzy hopefully no-one has died.

Just Cameron's hopes of progressing in the tournament. But hey, he got to play a game as the alternate.

I think he still gets to play Djok. In a match that won't matter, because Djok has already qualified.

Will they bother with the match? They might, there are ranking points available, I suppose, if Norrie wins.

last ditch comeback attempt here from Norrie.

Well done Casper.

Not to be- well done Casper.

Nice message. Catherine is pleased Grin

Awww- that's nice of Casper, wishing Matteo and Stef a speedy recovery.

Aren't they all lovely about each other?
Apart from Djok- I bet he's just calculating weeks at number 1.

Djok will pretend he's concerned but we won't believe him Grin

Raahh · 17/11/2021 22:08

Catherine is obsessed with the camera messages, isn't she, Jane ? Grin

JaneJeffer · 17/11/2021 22:09

She really is Grin

Raahh · 17/11/2021 22:12

There's nothing sincere about Djok, Jane- whatever language he uses.

He's rubbing his hands with glee, as they drop like flies around him.

He'd make an excellent Fagin.

Grin you've got to fake an injury or two boys

Grin apparently he wants to learn to play the saxophone so that he can play along with the DJ at Turin - what’s all that about then? Hmm

JaneJeffer · 17/11/2021 22:21

God he loves to make us suffer doesn't he!

Raahh · 18/11/2021 08:25

Saxophone?? I missed that.

Oh blimey. Grin

I stayed up far too late watching Guadalajara. A great night for the Czechs as it was the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution. Barbora Krejcikova gave a lovely speech and Martina was in tears.

Well done Garbine. Great to see her back on form.

This is absolutely terrifying www.rte.ie/sport/tennis/2021/1117/1261594-wta-chief-casts-doubt-on-alleged-peng-shuai-email/

Fizzywinegum · 18/11/2021 13:09

That sounds like a good night Jane (for the Czechs anyway!)

I agree the Peng Shuai thing is really scary - I must admit I was very sceptical about the email last night. At least it’s being talked about on the news and I think the WTA are talking about not holding tournaments in China but it is very scary - hope she’s ok

Raahh · 18/11/2021 14:15

The Peng Shuai stuf sounds awful- I really hope she is ok.

I was watching the Zverev/Hubi match- Sascha raced off with the first set, and it sounded like Hubi might not be physically 100%. Petch basically seemed to think it would all be over in the next half an hour. So I watched Doctors. Grin.

But the next set looked a bit tighter for a while. Sascha has just taken it, though, 6-4.

Tonight's match is a bit pointless now, because Daniil is already through, and Sinner can't progress whatever the result (even if he wins).

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 18/11/2021 14:37

That's what I don't like about these round robin things (and also the fact that I can't follow them whatsoever).

I'm only score watching tonight's match- Daniil is 5-0 up against Sinner. I hope Jannik can get a game at least!

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 18/11/2021 21:03

Just switched on and looks as if Sinner is having a bit of a mare! I know the match doesn’t really count in this tournament but hope he can win a few more games
