TENNIS: Dubai, Golden Swing, USA

[JaneJeffer]

I saw most of them on FB kazza but I think they are on youtube as well.

Just seen that Raonic has withdrawn, so Holger goes through via a walkover.

I feel like Raonic withdraws from every tournament he plays, seems a shame to be taking a spot that could have gone to a healthy player. Elena R has also withdrawn on the women’s side, and she’s the defending champion. Hope she’s ok.

I see Emma's opponent retiring so she's through

That’s a shame, I’m sure Emma could have used the match play. She will most likely face Sabalenka next.

I was score watching- will turn over now Coco has just lost the first set. Doesn't look too confident.
Ugo has a break. I think he could be a dark horse this year .He also has pink knees.

I think Lorenzo has probably been playing a lot lately, maybe he needs a rest

But the bloke just won £49k on The Wheel, so that's nice.

He's doing better now, Lorenzo.

oops- i seem to have jinxed him- sorry! Sonego!

My sister thinks that I’m weird for looking at pictures/videos of Rafa’s son (if she only knew the half of it )

I’m finally watching the tennis - just seen Taylor Fritz win and now it’s bloody Djokovic- think I’ll go to bed

Raonic does seem to withdraw from tournaments a lot - I would have liked to have seen Rafa play Rune - I’m not sure they would get on …

Holger loves Rafa and used to have his posters on his bedroom wall. I don't know if Rafa is a Holger fan though

All the young players seem to have been huge Rafa fans!

I haven't watched any tonight. I got distracted by Crufts and now I'm watching Scottish music on BBC2

I got very distracted by Crufts. It doesn't take much.
I did some overnight score watching- sad to see Hubi is out. ADF is still a bit distracted by being newly engaged and lost his match but Casper and Grigor are through.

I saw a bit of Sharleen Spiteri singing at the Beeb, she sounded great. I was never really a Texas fan, but appreciate the songs a lot more now.

I missed most of Sharleen but hopefully they'll show it another time. This winning dog is called Rafa and there was a Raphael who won another category.

I saw him!

There were a lot of Marleys. Marley is an unfortunate name for a dog, in my opinion.

I was very in love in with a Hungarian Pumi, who looked like a rabbit. .

I’ve subscribed to TennisTV, it seems great. No commentary which doesn’t bother me. Just a shame it doesn’t cover the women’s matches.

Big Foe struggling against Stef.

I've been out earlier this evening, and have still been a bit distracted by Crufts
(this afternoon there was a segment on miniature schnauzer puppies ,and I have a schnauzer and would love a dozen , so that was me sorted. ).

Hoping to watch Carlos/Felix (in between dog bits).

Bublik vs ADM is a great match!

Well, the first set was great!

The second set seemed to be a one way street
Ice

Claire didn't say which dog won the phone in thingy humph

x post

Jane I missed if we found out who won the phone vote. I think it might have been the Jack Russell.

Looks like Carlos has got this in the bag now.

Ice I don't get commentary when I watch Tennis TV via the tv but I do on my phone. Can't remember about watching via the pc but think I don't get commentary
DS has said he will investigate when he comes home from uni at Easter ( I'm crap at anything techy )

Come on Struff!

Andrey's getting mad and flinging his racquet. Daddy Carlos might be having a chat at changeover! Jiri is playing really well.

And Andrey is out!

I forgot Tomas Berdych is coaching Jiri
