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 .

Daniil is a break down to Brooksby though.

He's a knob.

Kyrgios, that is- not Daniil- or Jenson

Ooh Tim’s in his shorts - I’ll stop rambling now! DH thinks Kyrgios is funny - I don’t

I think I knew who you meant Raahh

Fizzy

I've just watched the last Holby - I'm quite sad about it ending , really.

If Kyrgios gave me his broken racquet I’d give it him back!

Well done Jannick.

Congratulations to Carlos on a big win against Tsitsipas. He is in very good form going in to the clay season.
And Casper beat Norrie.
I'm sure Kyrgios will be pleased to see that..

That’s a good win for Alcaraz - there was talk of him winning a grand slam in the not too distant future. While I’m hoping that Rafa will still win at RG if anyone else was to win I wouldn’t mind if it was Carlos. He’s very impressive - can’t believe he’s only 18!

I would much rather watch Casper than Kyrgios - their feud was a bit rubbish with Kyrgios resorting to the insult of ‘your Mum’ which doesn’t even make sense

'your mum'

Yes, he's such a grown up, Nick.

I wouldn't mind if Carlos won RG (if Rafa ends up unable to play) . If he can beat Djok in straight sets along the way, all the better.

I've just seen that Elina Svitoline is taking a break from tennis. I think the whole Ukraine situation is proving very hard for players from countries on both sides- and Elina has visibly been barely holding things together in the last matches I've seen her play.

Oh God now Domi has got Covid. He's on an unlucky streak.

Blimey- poor Domi- he really can't seem to catch a break

Oh - I've just seen that Sinner retired at 1-4 (first set) in his match. I hope he's ok.

Poor Dominic. But I hope he hasn't passed it to Stan! They were only practicing together a couple of days ago!

Casper is going good. My predictive text has suddenly taken against him though!

I haven't seen any of Miami and the time difference is confusing me as per.

Jane I was score watching the Casper match in the middle of the night . He really is doing well.

I've just seen that Hubi has won the first set against Daniil. Which ordinarily, I wouldnt mind, but I do want Daniil to regain the number spot- even if it will be for a short time.

"A sick trick with his stick"!!!!!!
Robbie is a f*wit. And an annoying one, at that

My sentiments exactly Raahh

Jane just seen the courtside clock is just gone 2.30pm, so 5 hours difference

Oh I see you're a poet now kazza

I can't claim such accolades Jane
That was Robbie describing a shot from Hubie

That isn't a ballboy! He's got a massive beard, a huge beer gut and if he waddles any faster, he'll have a coronary!

'a sick trick with a stick'

Robbie really has a way with words.

I was thinking today about Goody, the Barcelona Mascot . creepy fucker, but covid safe

The commentary during that tournament was (from Robbie) was puntastic.

I can't listen to him anymore!
I feel sorry for Sam!

I can't watch at the moment ( I am sick of Prime)- but it's looking like Hubi might be closer to defending his title. Which is actually really nice ( I'm sure a lot of people thought it was a 'blip') but I really HATE Djok.

Well done Hubi!

If Djok can somehow not win anything during the clay season, Daniil could get back to number 1.

Better if Rafa did, obviously

Robbie is hilarious
