TENNIS: Never mind the snow, make like a seagull and catch some rays at the AO

[JaneJeffer]

Come on Jannik-get a set!

Yay!

Yes! Now we have a match (though if Daniil loses again from pretty much such a winning position he will be gutted!)

I still think Daniil will win but at least it feels like a contest.

So great seeing Jannik showing why he is there.

Things seems to have shifted a bit. Confident start from Jannik in this set.

Nick still wittering about Wimbledon. Please go away.

I'm not sure the crowd are necessarily more for Jannik, or against Daniil- I think they want a 5 set final

Trainer for Danill. Is it his feet?

The windy is interfering with our satellite dish.

Come on Jannik! In true Australian Open style I’ve just had a Tesco delivery at a crucial moment!

Don’t those seagulls ever go to sleep?

Feet <shudder>

it would appear not.

I don't remember them being such a problem in other years?

"He's tired" is not good advice!

Yes I could have done without that close up of Daniil’s feet 😬

Definitely Jane, have they ever actually watched Daniil play? He plays better when he’s looking dead on his feet!

I worry about him when he doesn't look tired Ice

I did not expect this.

Daniil must be getting deja vu.

Oh ffs- it's the final. Let him go off and change. The lack of common sense is just ridiculous.

Omg. Shame about my big day at work tomorrow.

Ooh this is going to be interesting!

It's a one set show down- I'm sure Robbie would have said that.

Nick is determined to say Daniil looks knackered- he says it every time he plays. Does he ever actually look at him?

For a minute there, I thought he was going to knee that ball over the net

I’m not sure who I want to win now! I feel like it would be poetic for Daniil to win in 5.

Cricket!
