TENNIS: Dubai, Golden Swing, USA

[JaneJeffer]

The courtside clock says 3.40- so not really that early. Not like an 11am start.

The stands seem to have filled up a bit now Raahh

Yes Matteo would look good in anything but even better in black. DH thinks he looks old for 27 - I think he’s jealous - he’s now gone upstairs

Fizzy

I think there are a lot of players who would love to look like Matteo at any age

I’m not wild about Matteo’s beige shoulders but I’m pleased to see him back on the court.

The crowd seems a bit dopey

I love it when Andy starts ranting

yay! Go Matteo!

Matteo's outfit reminds me of Roger's UPS one

that was definitely a look At least he isn't wearing a strange headband.

I think last year he did wear a top with shorts that matched beige sleeves. It wasn't a great look. Even on Matteo

(It's one of those colours that shows the sweat patches in dodgy places ).

DH and I thought Matteo was sleeveless at first aswell! DH has noted how spindly his legs are. It's probably his only negative point
I also can't believe how few spectators there are, considering who's playing

We've always said, that for someone so tall, he has very spindly looking ankles- I think the black socks always makes them look even thinner.

Don't like Andy's shirt either. Not a fan of orange anyway but it looks like it's been in too many hot washes.

And the black socks are very long Raahh

Come* *Andy! (I realise I'm in the minority here )

All in all, I don't think 'the yoof' are going to be rushing out to buy the replica Murray or Berrettini tops any time soon.

They are going to be sticking with Nike, most probably. .

Obviously I meant come on Andy!
Come Andy makes like it sound I'm calling a dog

Poor Matteo

Oh dear.

Wow, not good for Matteo.
At least Aurelie and Andy reacted quickly, unlike when Cazeaux fainted on court the other day. The umpire didn't even notice until the trainer ran on court and his opponent didn't react at all!

Come on Matteo!!

What happened to Matteo? I stepped away for a minute and he was taking a medical timeout?

they could try and sound a bit less enthusiastic about the idea of Matteo retiring.

Well done Andy!
