Tennis: Clay Swing Continues - check your altitude

[JaneJeffer]

It was! I turned my back and he’d won the match! There weren’t many people watching but good to see some hardcore fans getting autographs and selfies with Struff

BZM looking very Spock like - there are more people watching this match but think I might have to go to bed

I spent most of the final set looking for DS2's lunchbox which has vanished over the weekend 🙄

Looking good for Stef so far.

Well done Stef. Not too late tonight.

Stef is looking forward to a battle with Struff he says!

I missed the rest of the action- the Struff match looks like Cachin ran out of steam in the 3rd set.
I have been looking at the schedule- hadn't even realised the Altmaier had got this far, as a lucky loser. Some unexpected names in the latter stages for the men.

Not sure how much I will get to see today.

Fizzy I have been keeping an eye out about Rafa and Rome- I'm not sure how late he would leave it to announce he is/isn't playing.

I've also got my fingers crossed that Djok's injury is career ending still bothering him.

This match could go either way. Wonder if Kudermetova was just having a rest. Oh no - she's got the trainer out now

Rafa is going to Rome they reckon

His team have been quite vague about Rafas playing situation (understandably). Last year, Rome was a real shame - it was horrible to see him hampered by his foot, especially as the match against Denis started so well.

I've already read a number of articles that have him dropping out of the top 100 , if he doesn't play RG. Roddick weighed in on one headline which called his poterial drop 'humiliating' and said that that is something that can never be associated with Rafa, and the headline was 'dumb and stupid'.
I always knew I liked Andy and he was robbed in 2009.

Everything crossed he can play as well as he can. (And not injure anything else!).

it's a very tospy turvy match, the Pegula/Kudermetova one.

Love Andy

I've realised I will miss the start of the Alcaraz match.

I think it will probably be quite straight forward for Carlos - but I've been wrong in my predictions before

I see Veronika recovered from whatever was ailing her.

So, Kudermetova has won.

Carlos looks happy.

They're showing Daddy Carlos talking to Holger. I had to laugh at Holger asking "did I complain to you?" They seem determined to paint him as a villain.

What the heck is Dani wearing?

Off to a great start with the line call

Got in just in time to see Carlos break .

That break point was weird Raahh. Even Carlos thought the previous shot was out, Karen was about to challenge and then Carlos took advantage and hit through him.

And now I've seen Dani- who seems to have lost the bottom of her shirt. It's an interesting look.

Karen will be up against the crowd in this match.

Last time I looked Carlos was flying but now it's flipped around

Yes, it has turned a bit.

And I can't see Karen, because of the pesky shadow.

Carlos on the comeback trail now though. Could still win it in 2.
