Grin Jonathan has been trying very hard gee up support for Daniil. Having to pretend he's not biased.

Raahh · 12/11/2024 13:59

First set Daniil, hopefully he will feel a bit happier.

IceandIndigo · 12/11/2024 14:17

lol that leap from Daniil in slow motion is probably the least graceful thing I’ve seen on a tennis court. He’s not getting any Baryshnikov comparisons Grin

Fizzy I'd go and watch the Andys, if Andrew Cotter took his dogs. Grin

Andrew Cotter really should take over at Crufts. He would be great.

Yes I think the dogs would be popular Raahh Grin

Looks as if Danill has had a word with himself since his last match but Alex doing better in the second set

IceandIndigo · 12/11/2024 14:20

I’d like to go to Andy’s show but not sure who I can convince to go with me.

Raahh · 12/11/2024 14:29

Disappeared to watch Doctors. 2 more days after today Sad

Come on Daniil!

Raahh · 12/11/2024 14:32

Well done Daniil - that's got to feel better.

JaneJeffer · 12/11/2024 14:32

One of the performances of the year? I only saw the final game but after the other day I find that hard to believe Grin

Well done Daniil. Seems to have put his mental woes behind him. For now anyway, he still has to play Jannik.

I think Jonathan was Daniil's biggest fan today. Grin

Everyone else has been hitting the balls into the crowd, he's just chucking them.

Will probably only see the first bit of this, before 'Bake Off'.

Laura and Tim are rubbish at predictions - but going with a Jannik win is pretty safe. Grin

Raahh · 12/11/2024 21:06

Bit closer at times this match (what I've seen if it) than I expected, Took Jannik quite a while to get the first set in the bag.

IceandIndigo · 12/11/2024 22:04

I only saw the second set. Taylor played well but as is often the case Jannik just played the pressure points flawlessly. Taylor was getting quite frustrated, even though he’ll probably qualify for the semis anyway, unless Daniil beats Jannik.

IceandIndigo · 12/11/2024 22:05

Apparently Carlos is still sick and couldn’t practice today. Honestly he should just pull out and let Grigor play.

Raahh · 13/11/2024 13:04

Ice I saw Jamie Delgado talking last night, and it's a bit annoying for the alternates, who have to be there til pretty much the semi finals, all day, every day, in case any one drops out.

Not sure how Carlos is today, but if he is still under the weather, it might be better to withdraw.

Raahh · 13/11/2024 13:07

Carlos has a pink nose strip. Makes his nose look huge.

IceandIndigo · 13/11/2024 13:27

It’s not a flattering look Raahh.

Raahh · 13/11/2024 13:37

It's not, is it? Ice- maybe should have gone with a different colour.

IceandIndigo · 13/11/2024 13:54

Yes, although Nicolas Jarry wears a flesh toned version and that might actually look worse. Seems to be working ok for Carlos at the moment!

Raahh · 13/11/2024 13:55

Jarry does look odd. I think the nose things in general just look strange. But it does seem to be doing the trick!

IceandIndigo · 13/11/2024 13:57

His drop shots are working again today, they were awful against Casper.

IceandIndigo · 13/11/2024 14:05

I feel like there’s a plausible scenario where Carlos gives his illness to everyone else, recovers, then goes on to win the tournament.
