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!

Fizzy and* *then Robbie and whoever was also commentating banged on about the cap rules for the rest of the match! Just shut up

I do like Ryan Reynolds. He's very funny on insta and The Proposal is one of my favourite go-to feelgood films

Domi has won the first set 6-1.

And it's Robbie . Neither playing wearing a hat...

Richard is wearing a very pink ensemble, though.

And not surprised to see that Tiafoe has withdrawn from the tournament- would have been a tight turnaround after a very full on weekend.

Well, Bublik seems to be doing ok today- at the expense of Sashca.

The canopies over the player seats are very low. Dh pointed this out yesterday-and it was Stan playing so not one of the taller ones.

Sascha and Bublik are both much taller. I'm guessing the canopies can be adjusted but they don't seem to leave much head
room!

Dimitrov is doing well- he had a good run last year and beat some decent players along the way. Ruud, Hurkacz. Today it's Ben Shelton's turn.

Yes Raahh DS* *said the shades were very low when we were watching Andy.

Now this is more like a Bublik match- Sascha has woken up and Bublik may lose his cool if this carries on.

Prince Albert not Ranier

Somebody told him

Alex having problems with the wrong kind of shadow

Loving all the travel tips

Jane I think Naomi is doing a side- hustle by the tourist board- she was talking about the cost of the tournament/ cheap transport yesterday

Naughty Bublik

I am really not a fan of the underarm serve.

Maybe Prince Albert has got her on the payroll Raahh

There's a documentary Inside Monaco that was on a few years back. I've never seen so much plastic surgery.

Sascha going good now.

Good shot Alex

Can of coke

No boats = they definitely need more tourists

I really need to go out. But I don't want to

I might wait til the end of this match.

6 foot 6 BINGO!

Well done Sascha. Nice exchange at the net - not that I understood a word of it.

Well done to him. He will be relieved to get the first match done.

Shame Bublik is out. He's great entertainment.
