Ouch Holger. It’s weird how few spectators there are. I think the Americans should give up their obsession with these huge stadiums, much better to have a smaller one and actually fill it. Or charge less for the tickets. This tournament was much better at the old venue too, not sure why they moved it.

I agree. But their priorities are wrong anyway- it's all about the food and drink Hmm.

Time for some electrolytes I think!

Of course, I can't watch the Rune match. It seems this Sky channel is reserved for womens matches and Brits. Hmm. (They won't show all of this match anyway, once the Murray match starts).

Fuck me, I really miss Prime.

I can't believe the score in the Holger match- Marozsan is definitely making a name for himself for causing trouble for the big names.

He’s playing lights out Raahh, Holger’s looking pretty dejected. He needs to vary his tactics a bit more if he wants to turn things around. He did change out of his lime green top though, he must have heard me.

Ice When Marozsan beat Carlos last year, he's definitely got a big game.

Maybe Holger is affected by the weather too. He's had a lot of changes recently, he might just be taking time to adjust.

JaneJeffer · 24/03/2024 18:22

I wish the crowd would rouse themselves a bit for Holger to feed off

Well that was disappointing! Well done Fabian

I got caught up in DD2's maths homework. Which is never a good thing. Grin.

Well done to Fabian, but Holger will need some time to re-group. Hopefully not by sacking half his coaching team, again and his mum.

Does Murray think dressing as a carrot will bring him Sinner-like luck ?

Raahh · 24/03/2024 19:46

I am score watching and have just seen that Jannik lost his first set against Griekspoor. The organisers will have kittens if they lose any more big names Easter Grin Come on Jannik!

Grigor has won though, so not all bad.

Tomas Machac’s shorts are even shorter than Holger’s!

Fizzywinegum · 24/03/2024 19:52

That’s a bit of a surprise result in the Rune/Marozsan match - he seems like the sort of player who can really turn it on every now and again

Miami matches either seem to be played on a massive (empty) grandstand or what looks like someone’s back garden - there doesn’t seem to be anything in between

Coco Gauff was playing the other day to an almost empty stadium and she’s a local girl - she can drive to and from the stadium

IceandIndigo · 24/03/2024 20:14

More rain.

I’m not sure about this new fad of tucking your shorts into your pants -Machac’s shorts are short enough already!

Fizzywinegum · 24/03/2024 21:42

Murray is trying to get umpire Carlos to control the crowd - I think he’s fighting a losing battle there

Raahh · 24/03/2024 21:55

Jannik is back on track- so that's good.
It had taken me weeks to realise that in the app on my phone, I actually have a choice of a couple of matches. I have the same site on my laptop and can't get more courts, but I can on my phone.

Which is odd, but better than nothing. Grin.

Raahh · 24/03/2024 22:04

Well done Jannik.

IceandIndigo · 24/03/2024 22:39

OMG Andy what happened?

JaneJeffer · 24/03/2024 22:41

Well he's fit to give out to Daddy Carlos so it's not too bad Grin

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 24/03/2024 22:47

I’m starting to feel sorry for Daddy Carlos - he’s had to put up with a lot from Murray!

JaneJeffer · 24/03/2024 22:50

Come on Andy!
