TENNIS: Turin continues

[JaneJeffer]

Well done Carlos! How considerate of him to finish the match just in time for school pick up.

He's a good lad Ice

can't wait

it's good news.

Just need to get rid of a certain someone and next looks a bit better

Think again Greg. The Italians dislike Djokovic as much as everyone else does.

I’ve not been able to watch but the other night Petch described a shot as being as clunky as a manual broadband dial up - even DH was WTF is he on about!

At least Robbie-isms are fairly amusing!

I’m not going to be able to watch tonight either but hopefully after tonight everything will be made clear?

The match tonight is a dead rubber anyway. Sinner-Medvedev scheduled for 11am tomorrow, then Alcaraz-Djokovic at 5:30pm.

I am watching Salisbury/ Ram in the doubles -and was wondering how Kubler/Hijikata have got to the finals when they seem very low in the rankings. But I had forgotten that they won a slam (AO- seems ages ago)- and that gives them automatic qualification to the finals, regardless of how the rest of the year has gone.

This match isn't going quite as I expected, though I think it's pretty much a dead rubber anyway, and Salisbury/Ram are through (Kubler/Hijikata have lost their first 2 matches- Joe and Rajeev have won 2).

I learnt a new Italian word

If I ever go to Italy, I will remember that . It's funny how well I can swear in multiple languages. Actual conversation, not so much .

Oh, I love that kid! the mascots have been very cute.

I would like Andrey to win this match- losing all 3 matches again would not be great.

Neither player can go through, so it's just pride at stake really (as and some cash and point- though at their level, the cash is not needed so much)

It's the Battle of the neck chains- though Sascha has the big medallion.

First set Sascha.

And there goes Andrey's racquet.

Oh poor Andrey

The darts is on here. Very exciting match!

He's not happy. The bottles are getting thrown and everything .He played much better too- but in the end it came down to the odd points.

Sascha has the break and it's not looking good for Andrey now. I don't think I want to stick around to see how he reacts at the end

2 women in the crowd in orange wigs Laura wondering if they have got the wrong day.
Jannik , for such a laid back ,quiet type, has gained quite a fan base

I've just put it on

Sascha is going for it

At least Andrey ended it, in one piece. With a bit of a smile.

Very good end of the year for Sascha.

When they flip to the commentators it's a bit like flipping to us sitting on the sofa
