Who's this commentator? He hasn't got the hang of trying to build up some excitement. He's basically said the match is over!

Is it Jonathan Overend? I think he used to be on BBC

Jack has done well this tournament

Raahh · 04/09/2023 21:26

Ah well done Andrey

Raahh · 04/09/2023 21:29

Well done Andrey. He is lovely.

But Jack has done very well- and if he can stay healthy/fit he should move us quickly.

IceandIndigo · 04/09/2023 21:29

Well done Andrey.

Raahh · 04/09/2023 21:30

I do not like the odd wet -look fabric shirts. He looks drenched- nd he might be sweaty, but not that sweaty.

Raahh · 04/09/2023 21:31

Why is this interviewer wearing half a dozen layers when everyone else is melting in the heat?

IceandIndigo · 04/09/2023 21:31

Dinner before friends. Love it Grin

I agree Raahh - they just look really uncomfortable

It’s hard to believe that Jack is only 21 - hope he manages to stay fit in the future

I think Jack has done really well coming back from injury. I feel they're being overly critical. It's not easy.

Not looking great for Ons.

She went down a set in her last match didn't she?

I should be doing things instead of sitting here.

No it’s not looking great for Ons - I should be going to bed!

Well done Zheng

I hate her shoes!

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 04/09/2023 23:14

Yikes - poor Ons

Well done Zheng - her shoes look a bit clog like!

GetTheGoodLookingGuy · 05/09/2023 06:20

Anybody up? Just woke up and saw Sinner/Zverev was in a fifth set, so I got up to watch.

I want Sinner to win (don't like Zverev, would like to see Sinner/Alcaraz - not that I'd actually see it as it'll be on at night), but maybe playing Zverev would be better for Alcaraz? Although a worn out Sinner might be fine too...

Sad about Ons. She hasn't looked right all tournament. Definitely want Coco to win the tournament now!

MajesticWhine · 05/09/2023 07:53

Disappointing to wake up to see Zverev has won, I don't like him either.

IceandIndigo · 05/09/2023 09:27

I was also hoping for a Sinner win(ner). Those night matches are cruel. Even though I don’t want him to win it will be tough for Sacha to recover and play Carlos in the next round, especially considering his opponent won in straight sets in a daytime match.

Not sure I’ll be watching Djokovic, Taylor has a terrible record against him. Wish the Foe/Shelton match was the earlier one!

Well done Sascha.

I didn't realise Andrey would have to play Danill next!

Looking forward to Jelena v Coco
