TENNIS THREAD- it's '"Bienvenidos a Miami"- and then onwards to the clay season (with hopefully no unwanted injuries ) Vamos!

[Raahh]

Bit of Will Smith there to start a new thread.

I wanted to put 'and no anti- vaxxers' but the title was long enough already .

No!

Humph.

This is going to go to a 3rd set. And I am not hopeful.

Ugh

Jane I hadn’t thought about the possibility of Boris’s DNA but they could be into something

Ugh - Djok has won that set and I’ve got to go out now!

How has Djok not got a single bit of clay on himself? Weirdo

Grrrr.

I have not missed that smug face. At all.

Jane I don't know how his shorts are staying white.

We haven't missed it.

We liked it when he wasn't there.

And they keep saying a long absence- he played in Dubai. Which is only a couple of months ago. Not exactly a 6 month lay-off, is it?

This is a very long break. Has ADF gone home?

Back to blaming the wind when he's losing, then?

What's the story with the socks?

Jane I don't know. No-one has said why he's wearing odd ones.

Ds always rings for a lift from the station at the worst time!

Well, I'm back- and Robbie really is not keen on ADF's diving, is he?

But he's won the game.

VAMOS ADF!!

ADF has done really well not to fall apart after losing the 2nd set.

Robbie- the wind is affecting both of them, you know.

Hurrah!

'let's give a bit of credit to his opponent'

Oh that is big of you.

Just score watched and saw ADF won the final set 6-1. What happened?

Robbie was still going on about the diving.
Maybe ADF should save the diving for grass. It's probably a softer (and less messy) landing

Magi if you listen to Robbie etc- then basically Djok lost because of - not enough matches/the wind/being a bit tired/not enough matches (repeat ad nauseum).

Or- ADF, after losing the second set (which lasted an hour and a half) managed to keep his head and finished the job.

But they had set up the excuses for if he was to lose, before the match even started. 'Rusty' was mentioned a lot.

Foggy's kit is highlighter -yellow.

Saw the last 15 minutes of Dan earlier. Good win in the end. Also saw a few points here and there of his doubles win tonight. It must be a novelty for Dan to not be the shortest player on court He was certainly having to jolly Diego along at times.

Soooo happy that Cock lost. DS was watching and has just said that Robbie was "droning on and on and on......"

kazza Djok losing nearly makes up for the absence of Rafa. Nearly.

I saw that Dan was playing doubles with Diego- he did well last year with Skupski.

Some in-laws dropped in so I missed the third set. Well done Alejandro!
