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 .

oh Lorenzo - has retired. That's a shame.

I’ve just started watching Raahh - come on Rafa - hope he’s not got a football hangover from last night!

Oh dear sounds as if Rafa’s already had a time violation - he’s won the first set anyway

I wonder what’s wrong with Murray - it’s a shame as he’s been playing really well

Rafa seems to have upped his game now.

Ooh look it's Cam in his jazzy shorts.

I appear to have jinxed Rafa.

Greg doesn't half talk rubbish.
He pretty much wrote off Rublev earlier, because he lost a couple of points. 10 minutes later, he'd won the match.

Greg and Petch were getting on my wick. They can't shut up
Another long, close match for Dan but unfortunately the wrong result today (although Rublev fans will disagree )

Petch said that Andy has food poisoning fizzy which* *is a real shame, as he really needs match practice.

Petch and Greg are extremely irritating, kazza.

I didn't actually mind who won today, between Rublev and Dan, I was just irritated at the way Greg was determined Rublev was going to implode- even though there was no actual evidence of it

Could be over soon, this match. Good timing, as I might need to leave in a bit.

Looks like David wants to make Rafa serve for the match.

Flipping heck Rafa!

Right- I need to go out.

I want to come back to see this over.
VAMOS

(sorry Goffin)

Eek! Come on Rafa!

I wondered if it was food poisoning kazza - hmm I seem to remember a spate of food poisoning incidents for Djok’s potential opponents a while ago

Yes Greg does talk a load of nonsense!

Oh dear

Uh oh!

Rafa’s looking a bit out of sorts

I'm back. This is not what I was expecting when he had match points.

I blame Greg who started wittering about rib pain and lack of match practice.

VAMOS

Fuuuuck

Vamos Rafa!

Wish I could mute the commentary

Aargh

Jane It's one of those matches where you just know they will be delighted when he loses.

I do like Goffin, and the end of last year was as rubbish for him, as Rafa's was - but I don't want him to win this.

Same Raahh

Vamos!

Rafa is so wound up!

Well, he's giving himself a good talking to.

He has an inner Apostolos.

(Might be a bit a language barrier with Apostolos and Rafa- can you magine? )

I'm getting nervous now.

I don't want to be getting nervous.
