TENNIS: Turin continues

[JaneJeffer]

Those pictures were funny Chessie. Daniil never had much in the way of hair

I’m also pleased about the Sky news - I was worried I was going to have to pay for yet another streaming service to carry on watching tennis. I agree it’s crap for those who don’t have sky though as there’s no cheap way to do it just for tennis.

No, I'm not sure what I will see now-as looking at the schedules, I'm not even sure if Eurosport will continue showing Australia or RG (and that used to be on ITV at least).
I'll probably have to do some thing useful with my days if I can't watch tennis all the tie I'm sure I will find another distraction.

We don't have Sky. DS suggested Tennis TV might be a better option, although I don't think that covers Grand Slams or WTA.

Apparently, Gigi Salmon, Tim the Builder and Laura Robson are heading up Sky, with Julian Ovenden named as a commentator, with other "talent" joining him. That rules out Petch, Robbie and Greg then

'talent'

Gigi is good. I was disappointed Wimbledon didn't get her instead of the cricket woman who seemed to disappear after the first week!

Julian Ovenden? No idea

I like Gigi- Isa was dire- and after all the fanfare, seemed to do a few days and vanish.

Laura has been good recently- -she has settled into the commentary role well.

I have done some digging, and it looks like Eurosport are still showing AO, so I can watch that at least .

Is it not Jonathan Overend? Former BBC tennis correspondent?

Yes it is Jonathan Overend https://www.skysports.com/amp/tennis/news/12110/12981654/sky-sports-to-show-exclusive-atp-wta-tennis-with-novak-djokovic-carlos-alcaraz-coco-gauff-emma-raducanu-all-headlining

Yes. Sorry, my fault! Julian Ovenden is an actor!

Glad to see Sinner beat Cock but he needs to do it all again in the doubles now!

Good work Jannik! Beat Djok twice in one day

Well done Jannik. I'm enjoying Italian tennis Instagram tonight

Yay well done Jannik and Italy - Djok will be gutted! Is there any way to watch the Davis Cup final? I don’t think it’s on the iplayer now that GB are out?

I read that the final will be on the iPlayer Fizzy.

Thanks Ice

Yep, final on iplayer.

Was score watching whilst out to dinner. Cannot describe the deep joy at Djok losing twice
He had 3 straight match points in the 3rd and didn't win another game. Apparently, he was being booed by the crowd again and giving his usual sarcastic response.
He must be gutted

Italy on the verge of winning the Davis Cup- if Jannik wins this set.

I can't help feeling sorry for Berrettini, who not long ago would have been involved in this.

Has been a great year for Sinner though.

Well done to Jannik and Italy.

The Next Gen finals are due to start soon- no idea where they will be shown. Though really, I find the format odd, and haven't watched since the year Stef had a strop with Apostolos.

Well done Italy! Nice that Berrettini could be there supporting the team at least, he had a nice man hug with Jannik

Yes, I'm glad he could support. He's had awful luck the last couple of years.

Well done Italy. The Carota Boys are very happy

Next Gen is on Prime. I forgot to check earlier so I haven't seen any.

Someone commented on insta that at this rate it will be just Bob the medic left

Oops sorry wrong thread

That's my trick.

I'm guessing you're in the jungle, Jane .
(too many creepy crawlies for me and Ant and Dec)
