TENNIS: Hard court season continues. Scream if you want to go faster.

Just when he has a chance of winning something they ditch him

The echo on the commentary is really annoying

I am predicting a Zheng/Sabalenka final- which is probably unfair, given that Coco hasn't played her match yet.

It's annoying that Tim may be proved right. But I've a feeling Barbora is quite realistic about her chances.

And I am just noticing the echo.

But a breakback is a good start!

The echo is very annoying

Come on Barbora!

Cam got there in the end!

Ooh- go Barbora.

Well done Qinwen.

Good fight back from Barbora, the second set not so much of a white wash as it looked like it could have been.

Well done Qinwen

Don't look so smug, Tim.

At least she has won a tour finals- in doubles. And numerous slams. Remind us again what you did?

We need Babsi.

Oof- such a lot of money at stake at this thing.

And Mats

They definitely bussed in a load of noisy buggers

The Sabalenka/Gauff match will very much depend on how Coco is serving. And I think Aryna has been stronger all week.

Didn't they just!
It's a bit contrast to the first day.

Wonder how much they are being paid. <cynic>

It's probably free tickets and food.

See- pilot uniforms.

Why??

So much for my predictions- the Coco/Aryna match is not going as I thought it would!

Has Coco found her serve?

I've not really been paying attention, so I'm not sure if Coco has found her serve, or if Aryna has just lost her way a bit.

Well, this match is up and down.

I was cooking so not watching properly but saw Aryna giving her box some unlovely signals earlier

Well done Coco

Well done Qinwen and Coco. Not the final anyone was expecting!

No, I think the final will have taken a few by surprise.

Coco did seem to have better service stats- a lot of errors from Aryna.

Watching the last doubles match, well, it's on anyway. Getting irritated by the ever changing pronunciations of Siniakova and Kudermetova. .

The umpire seems to have the pronunciations sorted - it's Pete Odgers and whoever he is with who can't make their minds up .

Saw the start of the doubles final and had to go out- am a little surprised by the result/scoreline- the first couple of games looked like Katerina and Taylor would win. But really, it was always going to be quite close.

Missed the start of this singles match- so don't know what they had planned before the final for the 'entertainment' .

So far, it's very close between Coco and Qinzen- 20 minutes and only 5 games in.
