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.

Score checking- close looking match for Carlos and Andrey.

I see Deal or No Deal is back. My MIL will be delighted!

Well done Carlos. Was just score watching.

I've just switched on to the end of the match.

Poor Andrey really attacked himself at one point with his racquet. .

I watched the first set, which was close, but I guess Carlos won the second set quite comfortably. I wish Andrey wouldn’t beat himself up, it’s really uncomfortable to watch.

It is very noisy in the stadium - can hardly hear them talking. Not that they are really saying anything much .

Apart from the fact Catherine agrees that Daniil's daughter basically has his exact face .

Catherine (both this afternoon and this evening ) still seems to be getting her her feuds mixed up -I don't think there really is a feud between Daniil and Sascha- it's with Daniil and Stef.

2 very sad looking bananas next to Daniil. Not even a fruit bowl.

I’m not watching but it was definitely Stef and Danill who had the beef - I think Daniil told Stef to shut his f*ck up and Stef called him a bullshit Russian!

Catherine does like a bit of beef

I suppose there was Monte Carlo - (the beef between the two of them) I had almot forgotten about that. Suddenly seem a long time ago

I remember more of the Monte Carlo match now- that was actually quite ugly in the end - Sascha wa saying Daniil was one of the most unfair players ever .

But in the past, i think the issues have been more with Stef.

Maybe it's just a Panto Danill thing .

Zverev said that he was friends with Daniil & his wife, which Daniil said they absolutely weren't - Daniil's wife is a good friend of the first ex-gf of Zverev to accuse him of DV

Misty oh, I read about that.

it's all going on, isn't it?!

@Raahh 😁

Break back for Sascha and back on serve .

This might be a long match.

Maybe Tim was right about the tie breaks

Tiebreak.

At the start, Daniil seemed in charge, hard to call a bit now Sascha has settled down.

I was reading about the various scenarios for semi final qualification and it’s quite interesting. Obviously Djok is out if he loses to Hubi but he’s also out if he wins in 3 sets and Holger beats Jannik in 3 sets! Quite interesting from Jannik’s perspective as he’ll know the result of the earlier match. I’m sure he’ll want to play his best in any event but he could easily end up in a position where he could eliminate Djok from the contest while still qualifying himself, if he were to lose to Holger in 3 sets. Whereas if he wins and Djok also wins, they both qualify.

I've just had chance to watch the match- it's shame Hubi couldn't take the first set- there is a fair bit of booing in the crowd, I think a few of them would like to see an upset. Or maybe just 3 sets .

Petch is upset about the booing and think it's disrespectful against poor ickle Djok.

Oh god, he's still going on about him being the best.

Shut up. You are asking for adoration. They don't like him. You wouldn't be bothered if they were booing someone else else, so shut up.

Robbie seems to be studiously ignoring him

It's all so complicated. As far as I could understand from what Sasha said, if Danill wins tomorrow Sascha will qualify.

I never understand it. I remember Rafa notgoing through one year when he had ewon more matches than Roger, and it really annoyed me .

Oh Greg's off on one now.

Don't they have any truly non biased commentators?

I liked listening to Laura yesterday. But I bet she's a Djok fan

Come on Hubi! Don't let him in.

I'm watching Emmerdale. Here's some maths I do understand: Djok + Petch + Greg = No thank you

I see Hubi got the set. Come on Hubi!
