TENNIS- The tour of Europe continues- next stop- Paris, as we head for the Finals in Turin

[Raahh]

Just noticed thread was running out. So - thought I might be organised for once.

And well done to Joe Salisbury And Rajeev Ram (who have had a rubbish year)but have just won in Vienna.

The trophies seem to be filled with balls.

It's like someone just based it on a ball tube, and covered it in shiny paper. Like Blue Peter.

Thanks Raahh

The clock change has really thrown me today- usually it doesn't - but I am all over the place, and all my clock are right. But I can't work out when things are starting.

Oh goody. Robbie and Wispa.

Oh I got confused about the time

ooh- break to Daniil .

Wispa and Robbie are certain that this will be Daniil's shot at finally defending a title.

But Jannik might break back .. maybe...

And he does.

Well done Jannik.

It's definitely going to be a battle

Stick with the girl you brought to the dance

Heidi ah I love Robbie

He's on fire today, is Robbie.

Who is that shouty eejit? Shut up!

I'm wondering about the scheduling with Basel/ Paris because in theory Hubi is supposed to be playing Korda in Paris tomorrow at 10am according to the listing.

Now, in previous years I remember when Federer would leave Guy Forget waiting til about Tuesday before even deciding whether he would be playing in Paris at all after winning in Basel- so I wonder if Hubi will end up playing tomorrow - or they will change his match?

(I know it's not exactly far, but I still think it's a bit unfair to play so soon).

It is bad scheduling!

They wouldn't do it to Roger.

Where is Shapo these days, anyway?

Actually- it affects Felix too, I've realised- his match against Struff is at the same time!

Bloody stupid. Clearly they were not expecting either player to be finalists when they did the first round schedule.

Close now this, this tie break. I thought Daniil was going to run away with it.

oh- went in the kitchen and Jannik has the set.

Last I saw of Denis he was getting engaged. Seems to have disappeared since!

Oh yes!!

'Scintillating from Sinner'

Wispa has spent way too much time with Robbie.

Make your mind up Robbie- is he an architect, or an artist?

Booshki?

Jannik pulling back a bit.

Up the road in Basel, the match has just started and is going with serve .
