Wow! 4th time lucky! Well done Danielle

Wow. Well done Danielle!

Nice retirement cheque

Jane isn't it just!

Has she still got a ball stuffed up her skirt?They might want that back.

Fergus will be cross.

James Blake never ages.

Fergus probably put trackers in the balls

The trophies look pointy and dangerous

She's definitely going to make off with that ball.

Or she has a very round hip.

And yes, the trophies look heavy and sharp. And not easy to put in the hand luggage.

Danielle is thanking all the people who never get thanked! The physio women look chuffed.

She is making the most of her moment- so good for her.

I had no idea who Butch is before this week (I looked him up because half the matches were played on his court) - the court is named after him, and the trophy, it seems. .

Why do they bother with ticker tape?

I don't know, it's not very eco friendly - and someone has to clean it up. And who thanks them!

I know nothing about Butch. Imagine calling your son Butch?

I googled and his real name is Earl Henry which sounds very royal

Imagine being some weedy kid called 'Butch' .?

(I always think of bull dogs in Tom and Jerry cartoons- they were usually called Butch).

It must be a nickname for something totally unconnected, knowing the Americans. I did google him. But I have forgotten

Earl Henry, apparently.

Where do you get 'Butch' from that?

x post .

It does sound royal.

Not as Royal as Eugenie Bouchard and her siblings, who actually were all named after members of the royal family. Which is a bit odd.

His surname is Buchholz That's the bit I would change. I bet he got some stick at school!

I hope he was a good tennis player (I have never heard of him- I would keep his name in my back pocket for future Pointless episodes, but I'm not sure he actually won anything big).

If these 3 don't stop yacking, they may get locked in to the stadium.

Oh, I nearly forgot the clock change.

He won the juniors at Wimbledon, French Open and Australian Open but I don't know if Pointless would ask that

Annoyingly, it means the Sinner match starts at 8pm, UK time, rather than 7.

I could cope with 7pm.

Tomorrow night will be interesting.

No, junior tournaments don't usually get a look in.

Which is a shame. There could be quite a lot of mileage in junior tournaments.

Well done Danielle - I didn’t get to see it but it’s good that she’ll be going out on a high

Miami doesn’t seem to have had many crowds - not sure why - I like James Blake but it doesn’t seem as popular as Indian Wells - I think Andy Murray is the only player who really likes the Miami tournament

Happy anniversary for tomorrow Raahh champagne and pizza sound perfect (while watching the men’s final!) 🍕🥂

I’ve still bought Easter eggs for my (adult) DS’s and their girlfriends
