Gigi and Anne have very similar dresses on

Hello @JaneJeffer

Just saying hello.

Ignore me. I’m only popping out of a murky shadow to show my absolute ignorance of all things tennis and to give my inner arsehole an airing. 😏 😘

Hi @JamieFraserBackAgain fancy meeting you here x

As you were ☺️

👋

My first time seeing sudden death doubles!

Carlos won't be playing Rome

Oh no- although I can understand why if he's not 100%. Defending RG is the big one.

So many I juries about, not all that surprising. The only player I want to be absent is keeping quiet at rhe moment( his dad had a fall earlier in the week- that would be a handy excuse to swerve Rome, but would Djok really want to go to RG with no real preparation?).

Just got in- I like Taylor, but I would love Andrey to get to the final.

I'm already tired though- and it's only 3.30

I want Andrey to win as well but DS1 reckons Taylor will win so now I want Andrey to win even more

Seeing Taylors black socks/skinny ankles, has reminded me we haven't seen Berrettini since he lost in MC- I wonder if he will be back for Rome?

Oh I've just seen the robot dog on instagram, are they still around? Creepy things!

I haven't heard anything about Matteo since MC. Hopefully he will be in Rome.

Dani looks very serious

I'd forgotten the robot dogs -they were creepy.

I can imagine some of the players arguing with them

No, we did not see him get the set.

Bloody Sky.

Don’t really mind who wins this, but seems like Andrey has the upper hand.

I think Matteo missed Madrid because he was ill, I’m sure he’ll play Rome. Shame Carlos is out, I really hope his injury isn’t too serious. And Daniil, he’s the defending champion in Rome!

Looking at the list, Matteo has a WC, so until we hear otherwise, he must be hoping to play Rome.

Andrey is doing well- managing to stay calm.

Weather seems better there today. Back to cold, damp and miserable here. What month are we in again??

Ice I think being the defending champ in Rome was the reason Daniil didn't push it last night- I think he wants to give himself a chance to at least try to defend a title- something he still hasn't done.

But it will depend how bad things were whether he does play, I suppose. There's still a lot of tennis left over the next months, as well as flipping back from clay to grass to clay again for the Olympics.

I hope Daniil is ok for Rome because who else is going to say things like this?
