TENNIS - Down Under - not a G'Day for Novak

Panto Mo sounds like he's enjoying himself, anyway. But then, he always does. .

In the other match in play, Mannarino looks like he could be about to go 2 sets up against Karatsev.
Or that might end up going to 5 sets .

Who knows .

I miss Stan with his suggestive BBQs and wine drinking and Delpo as well

It will be past my bedtime if this one goes to 5 sets (please don’t!)

I’m not quite sure why Karatsev and Mannarino were scheduled for the night match - they’re not exactly ‘box office’ are they?

Go on Rafa!

Rafa is pumped!

Oh it's the cute ball boy who had to catch the butterfly. He's having his 15 minutes

This is better.

Rafa must have just had a bit of a blip.

Eric Bana is there.

I'm turning into AC. Next up I tell you all about Karen's coach and what each member of his family do for a living.

I read that as 'bananaman'

I like how Rafa's watch strap matches the Nike tick on his shirt.

His watch is £££££££ though.

And weighs next to nothing, surprisingly.

(I've done my research).

You two would make excellent replacements for AC

Fizzy I feel like we would do a really good job.

DS2 loves expensive watches. Looking at them only obviously Last week he showed me one and I was able to tell him Rafa has one of those so now Rafa is much cooler to him

Rafa always wore the orange version- I only noticed he started wearing the blue one around RG, 2020.

Unless it's like a very expensive Swatch, and he's got lots of straps .

Missed that- who booed?

I don't know what happened there.

Great shot!

I have no idea what happened in set 3, because he's like a different player now.

He must really want to go home.

.

Vamos!

Yes!!

VAMOS

In case anyone cares it's 1 set all in the Mannarino/Karatsev match- and that has taken 2 hours 22 minutes so far!

Sounds fascinating Raahh but I think I’ll give that match a miss!

Yes I’m sure Rafa wants to talk about his academy - let him go to bed!

Well, they aren't even bothering to show it on Eurosport 2- the snooker is on .
