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, Dan's out, so not a good day for the Brits!

Just watched the end of Sascha’s match - he won in straight sets. He was wearing a light blue vest version of the Aztec top

He seems to have been fairly quiet recently but I suppose he’s keeping his head down knowing that any bad behaviour could get him banned

I really hope that Wimbledon doesn’t feel the need to go modern - I like the traditions and yes the on court interviews last year were cringy

It looks as if the delightful Bublik retired from his match against PCB in the third set for no apparent reason - good riddance!

Fizzy i noticed that- he was winning at one point, wasn't he? Very odd.I wonder if he will bother with the rest of the clay season? Or just keep turning up to have a whinge?

Just catching up on some scores today- Ruud is playing Dimitrov, lost the first set 3-6.

Taylor Fritz is continuing his run of form- he's just taken a tight first set against Korda.

oh- a ball girl has just fainted/collapsed right behind Korda. Hope she's ok.

Fritz has won- he really is a lovely player to watch, I always forget about him. It was quite an unusual match, for clay, lots of really short rallies and lots of aces (from Fritz).

Fritz and Korda better get a wiggle on. They're due on court again now for their doubles! More stunning order of play schedules

Grigor has beaten your favourite Norwegian Raahh

kazza I know- poor Casper. Trust it to be this week that Grigor remembers how to play .
Casper has been struggling to find his feet on the clay though.

Fritz and Seb are going to be busy .

Musetti is playing Diego. So far Lorenzo has the upper hand- and I haven't heard any 'short' comments .

It does make you wonder, kazza what goes through the mind of the schedulers.

I might check out the Tsitsipas match in a bit.

(Anything to avoid actually doing anything ).

Aurélie and Sascha, what could possibly go wrong?

Eh???

Yes Robbie sensaschational

Robbie's at it again.

Sen -Sacha- nal.

I think he waits for the chance to say it, Jane.

kazza Aurelie can be very pernickety and Sascha gets annoyed if he doesn't think the rules are being applied fairly.

Riposte Robbie not risposte

I love the colour of Sascha's top.

Did they mention Mumsnet in that documentary?

Thanks Jane
Wasn't watching the match and thought you were possibly talking about Sascha's new girlfriend

Sascha seems to have tuned out a bit

I love Robbie's coaching

Well done Sascha!

Eww- Sinner has a very grim looking blister.
Feet are really not attractive things, are they?

Annabel is advocating taking a scalpel to his feet, to shave off the dead skin .

That's what she did, apparently.
