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.

Well done Jannik. He’s really improved a lot this year.

The tour finals will be massive for Sinner- he has had a really good year - and playing in Italy at the end of the year will be a big deal.

Another tie break for Felix and Hubi.

The gloves!

Daniil gives great speeches

I do like Daniil's speeches.

x post.

Unlike some I won't mention, he can make fun of himself.

Felix has , however, managed to do what Daniil could not- and has defended in Basel .

Well done Felix.

Everyone is trying to get their hands on the telly now

Jannik is improving at public speaking 🥕

'I have to speak in English because I have an Australian coach'

I love him.

He does look a lot more confident these days.

I wouldn't like to be cleaning up that mess

Grim weather this morning.
Just switched on to Paris- I've got Ben and ADF- Prime have dragged Greg Rusedski in to commentate- no doubt to talk about when he won it -ad nauseum--.

ADF's shorts look a bit off white. I think he may have left one of his odd socks in the whites wash.

Looks like Felix and Hubi are playing tomorrow now.

Stan and Domi are playing tonight- Domi was in qualifying yesterday, I think.

Thanks for the new thread Raahh

Had a busy weekend so didn’t get to see any tennis - pleased for Jannik and Felix, especially Felix who has had a rough time recently

The weather’s grim here as well Raahh - I went to Manchester yesterday and foolishly didn’t take an umbrella as it was blue sky and sunshine when we set off - of course it rained and I had to buy an emergency umbrella from Tesco!

Hoping to watch a bit more tennis this week - when is Beelzebub playing? Probably tomorrow night for Halloween!

I think he may have left one of his odd socks in the whites wash.

Yes, the weather was deceptive- it was ok- and then went very wet.
And now is staying wet. The only bonus is , it's warmed up a bit.

Needless to say, DD1 has gone out dressed for college like it's the middle of summer. I feel old .

Beelzebub is due to play tomorrow but I'm not sure who yet- I had really got used to him not being around. I am already sick to death of Rusedski waxing lyrical about him, and he isnt even playing today. .

Carlos is back tomorrow too, and I hope he is fully fit.

The Paris fruit bowl is back!

This time it seems to be mostly full of bananas.

Sushi doesn't seem to have caught on. I think that was Rajeev Ram at the U Open- though i didn't notice any of that yesterday .

oof- ADF does have form for throwing away leads-. but not this time.

Take a breather there gentlemen, you don't need to talk during the break. I think I'd rather watch ads!

RBA has just won against Lehecka- which is not a bad win for him, since Jiri has had a good year, and RBA has not been around much.

Ben was looking a bit worn out last week- maybe he needs a break. I wasn't actually expecting much from ADF- I put him in the same bracket as Rafa really, and not much of an indoor player.

He's woken up again now.
'sharp as a sushi knife'

oh shut up
