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

Haha crowd singing happy birthday to Emma.

I have no idea who is winning this match. I would prefer Casper to qualify for the semis, even if I don’t see him going further.

Stefan!

Yay! break to Casper.

I haven't been concentrating because DD2 was talking at me. And from what I was hearing, the commentary seemed to be favouring Andrey.

But it looks like Casper may have settled into the match.

Ok- so Casper winning that set must mean Andrey is out then?

It's got to have been French?

I think that Andrey and Carlos are out now (although still not really sure how!)

I watched Emma win her match in the BJK cup - took her a few attempts - there were quite a few match points and double faults

They were very cagey about the parasite, Fizzy, said he picked it up after RG- even though he was obviously really not well during the semi final.
Those pesky French parasites

I think if Andrey had won the match in straight sets, then Tim's head would have exploded with the effort of trying to work what happens next.

Casper winning a set makes it slightly easier. I think.

But Andrey is not rolling over yet.

Yes Sascha will qualify first in the group and Casper second, Andrey and Carlos out.

Casper really won't have wanted this to go three sets and Andrey is out anyway.

Maybe Andrey is trying to sabotage his chances .

I’m happy for Andrey that he got a set though.

Yes, I am. Wouldn't have liked to see the him get upset if he didn't!

Well donr Casper!

Not bad considering no-one was expecting much of him. I don't think he will get past Jannik though.

Well done Casper!

I really can’t see him getting past Jannik, and I don’t see Taylor getting past Sascha either.

No, I think it's looking like a Jannik/ Sascha final really.

GB won the BJK cup tie and are through to the quarterfinals. They’re playing Canada who are the defending champions I think.

Sadly the Tache Twins lost their semi final- I saw the first set and thought they might win, but doubles is always very up and down, and it was a close final 3rd set tie break thingy.

Tim is interviewing Stefan <swoon>

Lucky Tim

Did she say Sascha had pneumonia this year?

Sascha makes the woman even tinier than she is

I missed the bit about Sascha- there seems to have been quite a few illnesses around with the players over the past years or so.

I think Sascha should win this- but Taylor seems to be fighting being the underdog.

Sascha is not a happy bunny today

Speedy set then, from Fritz.
