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

There's only room for one high maintenance person in that relationship and Taylor ain't it

Jane that's the impression I get.

And I think she was the reason he ditched the bleach.

Carlos and Casper are about to start their match.

The hth firmly in Carlos's favour then.

I have a feeling this may be a bit one sided. But - come on Casper!

Hoping Casper can at least make this competitive. Watched the first set of Jannik’s match yesterday and it never seemed like AdM was in it.

No, Jannik was in charge from the start yesterday and didn't look troubled at all.

At least Casper managed to get the first game!

Altitude, bingo

I did not see Daniil’s shenanigans yesterday. Obviously that behaviour is not it, but he’s had a disappointing few months, I hope he can recover his form.

Go Casper!

Me too. Ice. I don't condone his behaviour, but I do really like him, and it hasn't been his best year (though he's somehow made it to the last 8 ). He was fine until things started to go against him towards the end of the first set- and it was like he flipped.

I did not expect this start at all. Keep it up Casper!

Sad

The sound is so bad again. I have it turned up such a lot, that when I switch channels, I deafen myself. .

Poor Daniil . The tour just seems so relentless now, that i suppose there is little time to enjoy it.
(I mean, he is a multimillionaire, he can retire tomorrow- but it's still not great to be unhappy all the time).

I think the Russians have extra pressures on them as well through no fault of their own

Whatever I was expecting from this match it wasn’t this! It does seem to be more of a case of Carlos playing poorly than Casper playing well.

Jane I agree with that too- and I don't agree with mixing politics and sport. I know Daniil often gets criticism for not being vocal in denouncing the war. I'm not sure why he should have to. He's a tennis player.

Wow, 6-1. No complaining, but great start for Casper, who has not done well indoors so far this season.

I'm not discounting Carlos though- but this has to give Casper confidence.

I'm watching Doctors, seems Carlos has found his racquet in my absence.

Come on Carlos.

5-5 now

ooh- just turned back. What is going on with Carlos?

Casper is determined to win at least one match then!

Bit concerned for Carlos, is he sick? He’s been dreadful.

Come on Casper !

'one point at a time'- yes that's how it usually works, Tim.

Well done Casper!
That was unexpected, but I am happy to see Casper winning - and it's a first win over Carlos.

Well done Casper!

Did he say “hope you feel better” to Carlos?

'Ruud awakening'

that's Robbie worthy that is.

Oh, they've turned up the sound.
