Ah well done Jannik (and Grigor)

Well done Jannik- so good.

Well done Jannik

I really do look forward to seeing more of Grigor though, he looks pretty happy - and nice to see James Blake having a chat with him.

I think you mean Sinnersational Gigi

Yes I’m quite enjoying Grigor’s renaissance

Ahh, I miss Robbie!

Gigi had that blouse on last night. How did she keep it so clean?

Yes it's a good swap, Grigor instead of Djok

Maybe she has a whole wardrobe of them, like Tim and his blue shirts?

I just laughed at the caption in the corner 'Sinner picks his spot'. But I'm childish.

Gerry Armstrong, what's he doing there?

Well done Jannik! I’m on holiday so just caught the end of the match, but it seemed like a pretty dominant performance, although I was rooting for Grigor. I like the way his team all ruffled his hair like he was a good doggie little kid. Will be interesting to see how he goes on clay.

At least the men and women get the same dull pointy vases.

Butch wasn't one for fun trophies.

'Happy Easter' bless him.

I do like Jannik.

'ball kids' is stretching the definition a bit there.

Do you think that actually is the same as the women's trophy- and they only have one- for the men and the women??
They are identical.

A very diverse bunch Raahh

Poor Jannik is being swamped by the ball 'kids'

I was wondering what Jerry Armstrong was doing there as well (although I might have thought that last year!)

He is not a natural poser

I would definitely not be able to wear a white shirt two days in a row - too much red wine and chocolate

I like how unassuming Jannik is

The erm ball kids are a very diverse bunch

No, I cant wear anything white for long- guaranteed to spill something down my front within half an hour. My wedding day was nerve wracking.

.

I didn’t see the match last night but pleased for Sinner.

I had to Google the Shakira thing - I was a bit worried ‘special jam’ might be some sort of euphemism so was pleased to find it wasn’t!

yes Chessie maybe I shouldn’t have referred to it as ‘special jam’ - it’s still a strange story though
