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

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

Not a good day for ADF

Karen sounds like the Count on Sesame Street

Does anyone actually use that beach?!

No, it's a shame for ADF because he had a good run last year, to the final.

(And obviously beat Djok in the first round).

I agree the coaching thing is nuts . Either do it, or don't .. Rublev can't talk to his team at the moment, even though Munar isn't even there and it wouldn't disrupt anything.

Not a fan of coaching anyway. Gives the mutterers more chance to mutter

The only advantage to coaching is that we don't have to put up with Apostolos getting in trouble!

I've put Vacherot/Nardi on. Not familiar with them. There's someone in the crowd sounds like he's being mauled to death!

Valentin Vacherot (great name) is a local lad.

This is true. Although it was entertaining at times

Luca Nardi is good. He seems to have bussed all his mates in from Italy.

Obscenity warning for Vacherot. Fucking hell.

Those apartments are so near the court you could easily launch a missile at Djok someone.

Andrey is now serving for the match.

And he gets it. Well done Andrey.

Jane that's a tempting thought .

You'd have to have to go into hiding from the Serbian mafia though which I might have to after this post eek

Blimey they are a noisy lot in Monte Carlo. A lot of gutteral shouting in the Nardi match!

The umpire in this match makes Aurelie look cheerful

That man is going to have such a sore throat.

Can't be good for him, can it?!

Handy cacti on the balcony 🤔

Well done Luca. Imagine the racket if he plays Sonego!

Every time they show the beach I start singing The Boys of Summer because there's nobody on the beach

I better go and do some stuff before I start watching Dan

the Italians are definitely a rowdy bunch!

I had a brief burst of activity but now got Djok on in the background - hoping he’s going to get broken here - come on Ivan!

What the heck - 2 people dressed as goats with Djok masks on - at first I thought they were the devil with their horns
