Tennis: Here we go again, all the slams ahead of us.

[magimedi]

Uninspired title but looking forward to the new year.............. as long as a certain cock does not win 'em all!

Jane - yes it was very strange - so far I’ve just managed to watch one act/team/whatever it is a week and that’s been more than enough! The addition of Olly Murs and Jason Manford does not improve matters!

Just saw the tiebreak between Daniil and Big Foe - Daniil is looking even more dishevelled but made it to the final

I want to watch the sinner/Alcaraz match but not sure if I’ll be able to stay awake - think it could be a long one

Yes I think Daniil has been winning so many matches he hasn’t had time to get a haircut!

Honestly Daniil is looking like a zombie at the moment

I managed to get it working with the old IT Crowd method

It's Robbie!

The Indian Wells crowd like their drinks

Those drinks looked lovely Fizzy

Great to see such a good crowd. Some of the tournaments have had such poor attendance.

I feel I haven't seen Carlos for so long.

Robbie would know about constant chatter if anyone does!

Yes those drinks did look very nice Jane. - the crowd look as if they’re having a good time

I love watching Carlos - it’s hard to believe that he’s still only 19. I liked his 11-9-22 tattoo

Great shot Yannick

It seems like a fantastic atmosphere Jane. Love watching Carlos.

I wonder how many tattoos he'll have by retirement

It does Ice, and Fizzy will be there next year boozing it up

I wish they would move the mic away from Juan Carlos though!

This could be a long day at the office. I worried about that tattoo fizzy. What if he goes on to win lots of slams, is he going to cover his body in dates?

Wow this tennis!

Vamos Carlos!

Wow!

I knew Jannick would go on a downer after that set

OMG

"Daylight lobbery" yes Robbie!

Nick having a dig at the perma tanned (skin damaged) people in the crowd

Well done Carlos

Didn’t manage to stay awake for the second set - well done Carlos!

I didn’t think about that with his tattoos - maybe he’ll just have that one for his first slam (otherwise yes his whole body and face could be covered in tattoos

I hope that I will be there next year Jane - those drinks looked very tempting - not sure if I’d be able to cope with the heat though!

Looks as if the men’s final isn’t on until 11pm so not sure how much I’ll see of it

I went to bed after the first break of the second set, since it seemed like Carlos was in control. Sinner has huge potential too but needs to serve better than he did in that match if he’s going to be competitive against the best. God I hope Carlos can win tonight and take back the number 1 ranking!

Definitely go next year fizzy, if you’re worried about the sun you can just wear a towel on your head

Sinner needs to adopt the Spanish resilience in coming back from losing a set.
