Here ya go!

Bon soir, mes amis

I might not have to worry about a tie break then.

I was just thinking that Raahh

This is not going well.

FIzzy I wanted him to win at least a match.

I am really not sure that's going to happen now.

Uh oh! Rafa should have stayed at home …

Mo loves doing the scores in Italian - he sounds even more theatrical than usual!

Italian does make Mo more Panto Villain sounding.

Just seen the score. Not looking great for Rafa. Is he fully recovered from his abdominal injury? I agree Raahh, even when he wins it seldom looks comfortable. I feel like at this point in his career he is winning matches based on tactical mastery and sheer will to win, rather than form.

Ice he does seem to get through matches on sheer determination more than he even used to - and he's always been a fighter in matches.

The discussion seems to be that it might be his abdominal injury still- or possibly his foot .

Either way, it's not looking like a happy performance.

I need to go out soon- this match might end at the time I wanted. But not the result.

Doesn't seem to be going great for Rafa

Not sure what was going on with Hawkeye there

Come on Rafa - can’t really see him coming back from this

I am waiting for dd2 and trying to score watching, but

I do wish he could have won this. it wouldn't be so bad , if Djok was losing.

I'm glad I'm not watching to hear them say its now matches in a row that he's lost.

They started doing the list of everyone he’s ever lost to at the WTFs Raahh

And now they’re talking about how good it is that Djok will be playing in Australia - bah I’m feeling grumpy now!

The list doesn't surprise me, FIzzy. They really dont do it to any other player.

I wouldn't mind him losing so much ,if I knew Djok wasn't going to Australia- but that changes things, I don't feel like watching.

I'm glad Prime went off so I didn't have to hear that. Plus I got loads done. It's back now because I did the old switching it off and switching it on again I've put the doubles on to hear Petch droning away.

He's ignoring you Petch. Take the hint.

I'm watching the Bake Off final, because I promised dd2 .
I want Casper to win, I think. He will lead the group then although I really like Fritz. But to save face, Rafa needs to beat Casper in his final match- it won't actually mean anything, I'm sure there might be some complicated way in which Rafa could qualify for the semis. But I'm not pinning anything on that!

Casper's doing great so far.

The scores are looking good- this is good for Casper.

But I still want him to let Rafa win to have an off day on Thursday.

I think he's a bit scared of Rafa

It's good to be scared.

How's the altitude? I get the feeling , it's only Rafa who is affected ...

I'm busy arguing with people on here so I've tuned out the altitude chat

Tim still sounds like he's in Outer Mongolia

To be fair, I think I'd want to be as far from the likes of Greg, Petch and Robbie as I could get, if I was Tim.

Maybe Tim is actually working from home- Tim in Turin is actually a hologram - like the Cube in Melbourne.
