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

[JaneJeffer]

Watching the final and Jannik has thrown one or two chances it's now 5-5 , when he was serving at 5-4.

Just watching a bit of the final - I still don’t like the colour of the court in Rotterdam - DH is thrilled that there is now a dedicated tennis channel on Sky

I had to take the dog out. I am glad Jannik finally got the set- Alex is making it hard for him today.

I hate the dark courts- I really don't know who thought they were a good idea- there are a few around, there must be a reason for them, but they are not pleasant to look at.

No the dark courts look very gloomy Raahh - well done Jannik

I missed the end- well done Jannik.
The mascot is rubbish.

Also, one of the ugliest trophies- it's just a lump of glass.

I expect he'll soon be off to film the new Downton series <squee>

Well I wasn't expecting that when I checked the final score

oh I didn’t realise there was going to be a new series of Downton Abbey Jane - that will probably annoy His Lordship even more (this is getting confusing )

I only found out the other day Fizzy they have been filming it in secret!

Really Jane? Another* *series or another film? Haven't seen the last film yet!

Yes, I've subscribed to Tennis TV but haven't watched it much. I don't have Sky, so it was the only option really. Need to start watching tennis again

A series kazza!

Better try to watch the missing film then!

I'm watching the Del Ray beach final- the car in the corner of the court always bothers me a bit- in case they run into it, or smash it with a ball .

Hopefully Taylor will win soon- Tommy Paul bores me.

Sky’s tennis channel is driving me nuts with all its chopping and changing of matches and tournaments

I was watching Richard Gasquet a minute ago and now we’ve swapped to the women!

I did think Gasquet was Andy Murray at first (I thought that he had shrunk!) I think Andy is playing later so Sky should show his match but who knows

I'm watching Andy on Tennis TV atm

I’m watching on Sky kazza (unless they decide to switch to another match!) I’m hoping it’s not going to be another heartbreaker for Andy - he started off so well

Well done Andy, I only saw the last few points

Yay well done Andy! Luckily he didn’t listen to my voice of doom - he’s very happy!

Well done Andy! He's one happy, relieved bunny!

What a stupid interviewer

Carlos suffered an ankle injury in Rio ,2 games in, and had to retire.

That's not good. I really hope for his sake it isn't bad- or it gives yet another advantage to Djok. .
Stan lost in Rio too, sadly.

I’m getting confused about all the different tournaments!

That’s a shame about Carlos and Stan

Yes, I read that he twisted his ankle on the second point of the match, managed to break serve, then got broken straight back and (sensibly) decided to retire!

Hadn't realised lost overnight.

Andy's back on court quickly, second match on less than 24 hours after his last one. Hope he's recovered sufficiently!
