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.

Not for the first time this week, I'm missing the Prime coverage!

Hubi is really not himself, and Naomi is wondering if he has caught the bug that seems to be making so many ill.

Oh no not the dreaded lurgy again - I think I can guarantee that there will be one person who doesn’t go down with it

Fizzy no, you know who will be safe from it all (and probably staying well away from everyone else ).

Sinner 2 sets up- and Isner doesn't seem to want to actually retire- he is almost 2 sets up too.

Trickier first set for Sascha- but he got it on a tie break.

Snoop Dogg's living room

I've got Andy and Grigor on, what year am I in?

Hubi has the doctor out, and he doesn't really look too good.

Andy is moaning that he can't see the ball because of the shade. I can't see it either Andy!

Oh no poor Hubi

DS2 has just nicked the telly for the Champions League draw grr

That kind of affects anyone who has to play at this time, there's always a shadow.

Hubi looks like he would like to go to bed- the doctor hasn't really been able to give him anything.

Johanna said Arthur Ashe is the worst court for shade

The Tsitsipas brothers are having a better day than Stef had in his singles- so Paula won't be able to whisk Stef off to buy fruit just yet.

Something to do with how the light falls on it

I'm kind of enjoying Joe Cole's pronunciation of the team names

Jane I think it's how they built the roof/awning- it really overhangs, and leaves a lot of the court in shade for a while.
There are a few tournaments where courts have ended up like that.

Andy and Grigor are going to be out here all night at this rate!

We're going to need a new thread in a bit.

Stef and Petros have won then.

I think someone needs to be on standby with a sick bucket for Hubi.

Poor Hubi! I know who I want to catch the lurgy….

New thread

Ok I've got the telly back now

Lucky Johanna gets to do commentary with Feli

Sinner seems to be having an easy time of it

Andy is muttering away constantly

"I need something" he's saying

Eek two double faults
