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

[JaneJeffer]

It’s alright Nick, no one will mind if you choose to retire.

He can go now, if he likes. Nick Lester might get a word in.

This made me laugh yesterday

He will probably make a lot of money Jane talking about how he nearly won a singles slam - and he will continue to do this for years- and it will make him more money than playing, because he won't be paying out in fines

It was under this
Cazaux seems a bit psychic. Some funny comments. Of course the Djok fans are gunning for Ben

I don't like the scary Italian face paint!

The Djok fans can get lost- he was the one that started it all, and then tried to turn it into something else.

He was so nasty

Mystic Arthur

The Italian stallion?

I like Jannik- but I think that is pushing it!

I'm really late to the party here, but why the carrots?

This is a massive turnaround- I expected it from Rafa, (well, at the time I didn't really ) but if Jannik can win this it will be an epic comeback.

And hard for Daniil to recover from, mentally.

Nerves from Jannik though.

He has red hair

Oh my.

That's it??? I was expecting a better backstory.

Fingers crossed he does it! Looking good right now.

He was playing so well at the latter end of last year- and really has been the most in-form player- so if he wins, he does deserve this.

Poor Daniil - he must be so frustrated with himself.

He once ate a carrot on the court. And is ginger.

Raahh

Oh, yes, and he eats carrots

makes a change from bananas

I was all set for this to be over ages ago, I must admit, the way Daniil started.

I'm glad for the crowd they have got a good final.

I feel sorry for Daniil

I do feel sorry for Daniil- it must have felt 'in the bag'- Sinner really wasn't playing well for 2 sets.
