Tennis: Finding our feet on the grass!

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

Jane he is trying .

And it's a bit rubbish being stuck in a commentary booth with the butterfly fancier

I don't like it when Andrey loses- he goes all 'sad puppy'.

I do feel sorry for Kyle Raahh. He's* *really not had a good time of it and it must take a lot for him to remain positive.
As for being stuck in a commentary box with AC, I wouldn't wish that on most people!
But yes, a good sportsperson doesn't necessarily make a good media person, and Kyle has always seemed shy and introverted.

AC was being very encouraging and reassuring to him at least.

And Bublik has the first set.

Quick first set for Bublik then.

Andrey took himself off for a little break

I do wish Alex would have a proper shave.
What is it with Australian tennis players and odd facial hair

kazza .

I have been made to go out so again am missing the tennis. Hopefully there will still be some on by the time I get home!

Andrey got the break this time

I was just going to post they're playing the most dreary depressing music and then they put the Macarena on 😂

Bublik's coach Artem Suprunov is a cutie

Second set to Rublev

Well done to Andrey- it deserves to be a 3 set final in Halle.

Andrey doing a puppy dog appeal to Aurelie over a call and she smiled

The shadow on the court is very annoying

Andrey needs to keep his cool now although they're playing Cotton Eye Joe which would drive anyone insane

Cotton Eye Joe

First set to Carlos then.

AC's pronunciation of de Minaur and Alcaraz is really starting to bug me.

I like the commentator's description of Bublik's playing style as "organised chaos"

kazza I'm wondering if he's doing it deliberately. He must hear how other people are pronouncing stuff!

You never know which Bublik will turn up, do you?

Who's having the medical time out?

Carlos has now got his thigh strapped up. Hopefully nothing serious.

Aah hope he's ok
