TENNIS- It's CLAY -time! Where Hubi (and everyone else) goes to Monte Carlo!

[Raahh]

Looked like the thread was about to run out- and for once I noticed.

Still sad we can't start this thread with better news of Rafa- but fingers crossed for the next one!

Grr

Humph.

It feels longer than 5 minutes.

Why doesn’t he just put a dressing gown on?

They will be feeding him figs by hand in a bit, Jane.

Come on Alex!

Every time they show that big fluffy mic it looks like the person sitting behind has a beard

Alex you need to bomb him

I am not fooled by the 'oh poor Djok's looking a bit jaded' stuff. It's a stunt he pulls all the time, and them races to a win.

Looking forward to seeing how Katie Boulter does this time around

Come on, Alex- hold your serve.

They seem to be trading breaks at the moment.

Damn.

I missed the end. I see he didn’t collapse then

@lifeisfunandflowersbloomintherain where is Katie playing?

Fritz/Rune down a set but making a comeback in the second

i hate having to use the mobile site, takes me ages, stupid Mumsnet won’t fix the app

Come on Casper (nothing against Ugo though).

Thing is- will either be able to beat Djok next? Casper has lost 5 times to him, and Ugo once (but that was on grass)

Billie Jean King cup is on BBC, Emma Raducanu looking good against Caroline Garcia.

Jane sadly Djok was still in one piece at the end of the match.
I turned over to Pointless, rather than listen to his interview, though

Interesting hopefully this will be a good match someone other than Novak to win this time around

Taylor and Holger lost the match. Went to a tiebreak in the second set.

Holger might be happy of the rest now Jane!

It’s good practice for him to develop some stamina

This week has definitely been that, Jane.

Things are getting interesting!

Come on Casper! Ugo with a break in the second set.

Oh I haven’t seen this umpire for a while. He’s always getting involved in spats

Comprehensive defeat for Boulter. From 2-0, she didn't win another game!!
Very good win for Emma vs Garcia though.
