TENNIS- The hard court season is in full swing on the run up to the US Open.

[Raahh]

This match is very up and down.

Why do Domi and Bublik have to play each other?

Jane I know- as a former champion, I want to see Dom win a match at least- and Bublik could chuck it away for no real reason than it's a Monday.

Underam serves already featuring

Jane I don't have the Sky remote- we were just able to subscribe to Sky Sports (with Virgin) - but it's better than nowt, as they say, and I am an expert score watcher of other courts.

And in other match news, Ben Shelton taking a while to find his feet - lost the frist set 1-6, but is 4-2 up now.

I've just read that Carlos will be wearing a sleeveless top this fortnight.
I'm not sure what to think about that.

There are 2 men who can get away with it, imo- Rafa- obviously, and Big Foe. Carlos has the muscles, but is it a good move?

So long as we never see Djok sleeveless.

Oh no they're already chopping and changing

I'll have to get DS1's opinion on the sleeveless. He usually loves Carlos' tops! I'm just waiting for Holger to bring the short shorts back

The short shorts really do something to emphasise Holger's thighs

I like the colour of Domi's top. It nearly camouflages with the court, but not quite.

I think the colours are a bit muted on Sky but it's easy on the eyes at least

I nominate Bublik to take over from Mansour when he retires

That would be funny, Jane.

Er what!! They've taken it off.

.

He said they would be putting Iga on. As bad as the BBC!

Humph.

Whilst they are waffling, they could be showing more of the Thiem match.

Bublik's having a mini meltdown

I'm now stuck with Iga- but I had a quick look around the scores and notice Ben has settled in and nearly 2 sets to 1 up now already.
It's nice to see Dom win a match- but it does seem like Bublik is having an 'off' day.

Oh there goes the racquet

Don't know where Struff was going but he had a mare

Oh no! Poor Struff. That sounds like a bad day!

Meanwhile, Iga is 4-0 up and I'd rather be watching something else.
Sakkari is hanging on by a thread in her match.

Maria has very impressive shoulders though.

I thought Gasquet had retired earlier this year!

I was the same Jane. I think Simon retired last year (in Paris) , and I get the two of them mixed up.

One of the ball girls is wearing a mask

and Maria is out.

How very 2020

Actually, that's now quite right, they didn't have them then, did they?

Maybe she doesn't want to be recognised .
