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

[JaneJeffer]

If that's the case kazza I'm glad Carlos didn't try and play for too much longer!

Fizzy I am finding it very frustrating with the fact there are a few tournaments, and I can only actually access one match at a time with my limited Sky channels- and I can't justify getting anything else.

I will feel a bit better once IW/Miami are on- and I would have missed most of it over night anyway

Once the clay season starts, I know I am really going to miss Prime

Yes I’m the same Raahh - my sky is fairly limited and it was driving me mad yesterday with all the chopping and changing

I might need to invest in something else for the clay season - especially if Rafa is playing 🤞

Is Tennis TV any good kazza? Can you choose between different matches?

Wish tennis was still on Prime - it used to tell me when matches were likely to start to less room for confusion (mostly )

WTF how does the ATP make everyone look so bad in their photos?

Well done Jakub. I was busy and wasn't paying attention but it seemed to be a battle!

He looked a lot better on tv, Jane . He's having a good week, did think he might let nerves get to him the end, but he didn't .

Thought Andy might have pulled it out the bag but Mensik pulled himself together (unfortunately!).

Just read that Holger has gone back to Patrick M - we will see if that coaching decision lasts til the clay season.

my fickle boy

Jakub is continuing his great week- now he has beaten Andrey. He looks very pleased with that win. Certainly showing he is no flash in the pan. That moves him into the top 100, I think.

Well done Jakub. I see Bublik got beaten

Shame about Bublik- I thought he had a good chance in that match.

I was hoping to see a Casper match- but that relies on me staying awake

Sky is so annoying flicking around from one match to another at crucial moments bring back Prime

It is really annoying Jane.
I have just come back to see that Kalinskaya is ahead-she is having a very good week, playing very well. Iga has played a lot recently, it might be catching up with her.

If Kalinskaya manages win this soon, I hope we get to go back to the Khachanov match -the first set was so close.

Karen has won then - I really want to watch the Mensik/Monfils match- sorry Iga, but I want Anna to wrap this up now.

She appears to be throwing away her chances now, after being 5-2 up !

Well done Anna.

The sound is all over the place on Sky as well.

Well done Anna. I was hoping for a third set!

I need to remember to use the red button so I avoid all the chopping and changing!

I really want Jakub to win this tournament!

The sound is terrible - I thought I had turned it down, and then realised I hadn't
The red button doesn't work for me, I must just have the super basic one off channel

That would be so good- he seems lovely, and is firmly on my 'one to watch' list.

Lots of very good young players around (to take my mind off the absence of Rafa).

They can't get the level of match noise v commentary right at all. You can either hear one or the other. It's terrible!

Sometimes it sounds like they are whispering (more than Wispa). The sound mixing is dreadful. I'm just glad I'm not paying extra for an all singing, all dancing Sky package for this level of rubbish!

This week has also confused me, because I always mix up Doha(Qatar) and Dubai, and having 2 tournaments on at the same time in both places is messing with my brain.
