TENNIS: Turin continues

[JaneJeffer]

Yay! Even though I don’t like Alex much I will 100% root for ABD (anyone but Djokovic). Apparently Djok has an ‘injury’ heading into AO, can’t think what that reminds me of

I saw that Aslan picked up a major knee injury in the match yesterday, it looked really nasty, poor him.

I have managed to miss everything this morning so far.
Well done to Alex- Ice , yes, it does sound like deja vu , doesn't it? Wonder if he would have had an 'injury' if he had won the match?

Poor Aslan. I thought something must have happened- he had the match in the bag (from score watching).

Just getting to see what looks like it should be the end of the Rune match- but it's headed for a tied break in this set.

Ooh!

ooh indeed!

Sevchenko has a very young face- and he's older than Holger.

He does. His team looks like a bunch of rockers.

I think he's run out of steam now

I think he's run out of steam now, but it's given the crowd an interesting match this late on.

x post

He seems to have got a bit of a second wind since we decided he had run out of steam

Good match. Well done Holger!

Well done Holger!

What the hell is wrong with those grown adults who try to snatch things from kids?

"Win everything I can" that's a good goal Holger

On Instagram the LTA have
posted a thing showing what British tennis players would have looked like in the 1930s. The women all look lovely but the men have some very amusing hairstyles going on!!

Settling in to watch Rafa- but not sure I will get to watch all of it.

And the ATP site has had a re-vamp and it is really annoying and not at all easy to navigate.

Good start from Rafa- 4-0 up- hard won last game though.

Rafa has decided to wander a bit, just as he had the set practically won.

Better...

Annoyingly I’ve had to come into work but looks as if Rafa is doing ok? 🤞

Looking good for Rafa!

Emma Raducanu lost to Elina Svitolina - faded in the third set after what sounds like a really competitive first two. Encouraging for her on return from injury though.

That was always going to be a tough match for Emma but sounds like she did well.

I saw that 1930s thing Raahh
Very* *odd

Just watching Broady vs Rublev. Liam was a break up in the 2nd set but got broken at 5-4 and is now serving to stay in the match at 5-6. He deserves to win a set but probably not to be. It's his birthday today!

Sorry, the 1930s response was to you Chessie!

And* *Liam has lost the match, having had 3 set points in the tie break. Shame, he played really well and deserved more.

I missed the end of Rafa's match- but he seemed to have it won when I had to leave. He plays Jordan the Tache next, which could be a much bigger test.
Was a shame for Liam that he played Andrey today.

Looking at the score line it seemed an easy win for Rafa

There were a couple of games that were a bit trickier Jane - it took him a while to get the second break in the first set- but really he didn't seem under threat. I think against a (fit) Aslan he would have had a tougher match- so I'm glad he got an easier win.

Grigor went through earlier too, and I'm glad his run of good form is continuing
