TENNIS: Turin continues

[JaneJeffer]

And Maria is out.

Very sad news about Mike Dickson. Thanks for the alert.

Just catching up with the over night scores- very tough match for Casper - squeaked through 10-7 in the final tie break. Plays Norrie next, who also had a 5 set match.

Alcaraz dropped the second set against Sonego.
Not looking good for ADF.
Another very tight match for Zverev. Pegula is out, which is a bit of an upset, I suppose.

Babsi and animals.

Angry looking koala.

I hoped I would finally get to see a Rune match today- but of course not.

Maybe they will show Daniil later.

And Holger has lost the first set.

Gosh, a lot of long matches overnight. Come on Holger!

I can't get discovery to work on my tv, so I'm watching via my laptap, which is slow and annoying, but better than nothing. Not going well for Holger so far.

Yes, Ice a lot if matches that really went right to the wire, by the look of things.

Not sure what is happening with Holger- Cazeau seems quite calm (can't get any sound on my laptop Discovery plus).

*Cazaux

All going wrong for the top seeds, Rybakina lost her first set too.

So many upsets in the women’s draw. Emma is one set all in her match. I don’t think I’ve seen Cazaux before, he’s a nice player. Still want Holger to win though!

Ice I want Holger to win too- giant killers at this stage are fun and all, but they rarely get far- and we need to look to the 'who can maybe beat Beelzebub' bigger picture.

It is not, however, looking good for Holger, who will have a mountain to climb if he loses this set.

Come on Holger!

I eventually got the discovery+ app to work but it's very contrary and glitchy

Anyone in a new thread making mood?

The French and the Danes side by side in the crowd seem to be enjoying themselves

Rafa is Arthur's idol so he's obviously of sound mind.

Trainer for Holger

I wonder what Holger is thinking. He looks very unbothered for someone who's two sets down!

Grr - I have to go out. Its too cold, and things are getting interesting.

'Sound mind'

Trainer out again

I'm not impressed with Discovery +. Leave the room for a couple of minutes and come back to a black screen

Come on Holger!!

I'm losing patience with this stupid app. Why couldn't they have put this match on tv?

And now I see they are showing it on Eurosport 2!
