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

[JaneJeffer]

That sounds like something Djok would do

Casper seems to get every illness going, and doesn't seem to have fully recovered from whatever was wrong at RG- so he's probably the next one to end up ill!

Maybe, except you can’t pass on a fake illness.

Well done Carlos.

That is very true!

Well, you say that ice but* *I wouldn't rule out anything where Djok is concerned

To say that I'm practically housebound I've not managed to see much of the tennis this week

I wouldn't put anything past Djok!

Well done Carlos - hope he's feeling better - he needs to be fit for the Davis Cup as well although the weather forecast is looking quite worrying for Malaga

Yes, they've already postponed the BJK Cup tomorrow.

Oh blimey- more complicated maths.

The only certainty is , if Casper wins tonight, he goes through to the semi final.

I don't actually fancy his chances- but I didn't think he would beat Carlos (but Carlos was ill).

Maths, did anyone say maths??

Indeed, if Casper wins he is guaranteed to qualify first in the group! And if he loses in 3 sets he is still in a great position to qualify, provided he beats Andrey.

Beyond that there are some very interesting mathematical scenarios.

I just saw a picture of the flooding in Malaga right now and it looks bad! I hope everyone is ok and that the BJK and Davis cup can actually go ahead.

The weather in Spain is worrying, and I do hope everyone is safe.

Ice It would be very funny if Casper finished top of the group, after Tim and his mates have spent days pretty much writing him off as the one making up the numbers.

But I've a feeling it will get more complicated than that.

Great start Casper.

Terrible camera angle of Tim

Ooh - hope Casper is ok.

What happened?

He fell, and seemed to land badly on his knee- but he seems ok. At least at the moment.

He seems to be playing well

He's certainly not holding back, Jane.

His outfit makes him look tiny

Bloody tiebreaks. Come on Casper!

Long levers, bingo.

I've been waiting for that to complete today's card

I hate tie breaks.
