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.

Fizzy I saw the red dress/Iga fiaso- it doesn't look very well organised over there.
Reminds me a bit of when they did the draws for the first Next Gen finals, with half naked models , and the players drinking champagne out of stilettos. It was very awkward.

Sometimes, the tournament organisers really don't quite get it right .

ADF is having a less succesful time today on a very dark court against Griekspoor. he's lost the first set.

Well done Tallon.

I just thought Iga had the red dress because she is the best 🤷🏻‍♀️

Robbie's back!

Robbie quoting Yogi Bear

I just turned over to hear that.

Come on Gael!

Gael looks dead on his feet.

These players are putting themselves through it today

There have been some very hard won matches, haven't there?

Earlier they were saying that the atmosphere in Manchester was hostile when Fils was playing Davies cup.

I think Cerundolo is finding that a bit here.

He seems fairly chill about it but it can't be easy

I suppose he must have expected it, really. But the crowds are a lot more animated than they have been in previous matches.

Well done Francisco

Well done!

Oh my, well done Francisco.

Been a disappointing day for the French fans. At least Ugo won.

The crowds are certainly getting their moneys worth- not too many one sided matches so far.

I need to know what Robbie’s yogi bear quote was!

That top is really not Carlitos’ colour. I’m not sure it’s anyone’s colour.

It's deja vu all over again

But I just googled and it's by Yogi Berra a baseball player

I think I’ll just go along with the Yogi Bear quote

I prefer to think of it as Yogi Bear too

It seems more Robbie , really.

I am not watching Carlos, because I said DD2 could watch Bake Off. He doesn't seem to have started well. VAMOS !!

It's official now

This would help

He seems a bit rusty Raahh but Safiullin is also playing really well.
