TENNIS: Dubai, Golden Swing, USA

[JaneJeffer]

Casper not off to great start, dropped his first serve to Jarry.

First set Daniil.

Casper still behind,

Our Chelsea Girl sold vinyl records as well as clothes - not quite sure why!

I think Andy was focussing on the Olympics which gives him a bit more time (although I thought Wimbledon would have been his priority)

Yes Koepfer’s shirt is hideous - Daniil is still wearing his scary mr Tumnus hoof trainers! (I hope that sponsorship deal is a good one!)

They really are the worst shoes, aren't they Fizzy- and combined with his facial hair, it's like Daniil is auditioning for a part as Mr Tumnus .

I am disappointed by Casper's kit, because I liked his stripy shorts and mustard top last year. He just looks a bit boring now .

Koepfer looks like he has children under 5, and left them alone with the paint.

After a close first set, Daniil has bageled the second.

Oh flip- Jarry has taken the first set in their match on the tie break.

Not sure why they can't show some of that match on the tv, and we have to watch repeats of old matches. .

But this is Sky- and we must wait for the women's match now, apparently .

Bye bye Casper- but well done to Jarry, who played far better from the start.

Oh dear - poor Casper - at least he won’t have to pretend that Miami is his favourite tournament if he wins the whole thing now

Apparently he had a bit of a rant the other day saying that the tournament was cheap because they didn’t provide proper changing facilities, with just a plastic chair and no towels or cold water!

Ha ha yes - Daniil does looks like he’s auditioning for MrTumnus Raahh - it’s not a good look!

Fizzy I saw that- and some of the comments where I read it were sympathetic to him ,because of all the players out there, he is one of the last to ever complain. So if he is doing- then things must be bad.

Daft situation on the Azarenka match where the systems are down, so they can't play- and Vika is not someone who is shy about making her feelings known- and she definitely will, if the delay carries on.

Yes I think if certain people had said those things about the tournament it would not have gone down well!

They just showed a shot of Jannik in the back of a buggy- trying to tie his shoe laces- went over a speed bump at fair speed. He looked like he might fall out .

poor Jannik - have they done a health and safety assessment of the buggy rides?

Carota Girl!

Fergus being mean not letting someone keep a ball

Chris O’Connell seems to be playing well

Aah Fergus has now sent a ball kid over with a ball for the person in the crowd - Fergus is a good human person

Good man Fergus

That's nice of Fergus!

Glad Jannik has got it back on track.

O’Connell playing a good tactical match but Sinner victory feels inevitable.

Ice I agree, now he's in front, he looks more comfortable.

Fergus is being very strict about the balls!

What's the delay?

He really is!

No idea what the delay is now.

Well done Jannik- good match from Chris O'Connell.

Well done Jannik

a really important point of our human being

The Azarenka match is still going - I’m sure I started watching this hours ago! (I know they had some sort of delay for technical issues)

The tucking your shorts/skirt into your pants trend seems to be catching - I blame Holger!
