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 .

Poor Alex!

But he's a good human person.

Meanwhile, Carlos is making Stef look ordinary.

VAMOS

That last shot from Carlos was amazing.

I always wonder why the other court is named after Jan Kodes. He's not Spanish, he did win in Barcelona, but not multiple times. And he's Czech. .

I was wondering that as well Raahh - it’s a bit random

carlos has been playing amazingly but Stef has just broken

nobody is watching Norris!

Fizzy the court thing is very odd. So many great Spanish player- maybe Jan paid for the net??!

Stef has broken back now in the second - Carlos a bit more rattled than usual.

Was daddy coaching again? Why was Carlos upset?

That woman is making a holy show of herself.

Jane coaching was mentoned- but it seemed to be in relation to Carlos ( I was a bit distracted).

And my prime keeps going off.

Well that makes a change

They both look a bit moody!

Yes the woman dancing was a bit cringy - too much sangria perhaps?

Carlos seems to be unravelling a bit - he is still young I guess

Where is Carlos? Don’t they time toilet breaks these days?

it looks very cold in Barcelona - not sure why they need the umbrellas at the change of ends

Bit of Shakira - the hips don’t lie

YMCA now

looks as if it’s Stef’s turn to unravel

Y M C A

I missed the first three games. What is going on now??

Oh no - toilet beef!

This is a proper battle

The Spanish shouting Carlos - it's all going on!

I think Stef’s got a point - Carlos did take a very long toilet break but I suppose it was at the end of the set - Stef just disappeared mid set and now he’s lost two points

why do toilet breaks always seem to involve Stef?

Stef is getting a bad habit of hitting the ball directly at his opponent in temper. He did it to Diego last week and the umpire just told him to carry on playing when he complained. It's not nice.
