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

[JaneJeffer]

And Hubi takes it, shame about Struff, that was so very close- it's amazing how close to winning big Struff gets all the time.

Nice handshake.

I do love Hubi though, he is a very nice bloke.

He is lovely

Just catching up with a very old repeat of Only Connect- last week it was the winners of series 1 &2= with the Beast from the Chase on one team. This week, Jenny Ryan, Vixen from the chase is on- winners from series 3 &4.

It was 13 years ago! I feel so old.

Good wins for Draper and Boulter overnight. Pity Dan couldn't squeak it aswell. DS watched the two men's matches and Dan's finished at 3am (no lectures until after lunch ) so I woke up to a commentary from him on WhatsApp this morning

Jakub Mensik seems to be continuing where he left off last week- he is currently into a 3rd set against Borna Coric and is up 3-1. Shame they aren't showing it- but they are showing Daniil- and I feel like it's ages since I saw him play (probably the AO final).

Jakub sneaked the win- bur another tie break in the 3rd. Might want to start avoiding that, he's going to get knackered .

Well done Jakub.

Norris has withdrawn from Acapulco

Oh dear, poor Norris.

Jakub is having a great run- now inside the top 80.

He plays ADF next, which will be like deja vu to last week.

The tennis channel is trying to tell me that this Mensik match is now showing live - er no Nick. Spoiler Alert.

Fair play to him. I wonder how he is on other surfaces.

Sonego is a man on a mission!

Couple of withdrawals in Santiago as well one of whom is Navone who I like watching but there's so many tournaments and times I am totally confused!

The tennis channel must be as confused as me Raahh. I need a wall chart

Ooh- I love a wall chart

Reminds me of when I used to fill in the Wimbledon match pull out in the paper daily mail.

I've just been reading that Holger's mum isn't a permanent part of his team any more- that's a big step.

who will decide what kit combination he's going to wear now ?

Hmm I’m not sure that Holger’s Mum is the sort of person to stay in the background - I’m sure she’ll still be involved in his kit combinations and bed making

Well I'm going to miss Aneke Holger seems to be playing well.

I see Daniel Altmaier beat Sascha

This umpire is such a grouch

Well done Ugo- just in time for Doctors!

Sonego again! I should be doing stuff but the weather is awful and it's making me feel lazy!

it's funny Jane- I go through phases where I seem to see the same players a lot. For a while it was Cerundolo, every time I watched a tournament, it was Francisco playing!

I wonder if Aneke taking a 'back seat' was part of the 'return to Patrick' deal? . I doubt she will stay in the shadows for long!

And I had to go out - so hadn't realised that Lehecka ended up winning the match against Karen- I saw him win the second set, and then Karen looked like he was doing ok in the 3rd.

Wow Lorenzo is pumped up this week!
