TENNIS- Who will win the Sunshine Double? Look out for the Bees! It's IW and Miami

[Raahh]

Come on Matteo!

Brilliant win Sonay! Likely to be playing Aryna next (unless there’s a big upset in her match later).

Coco back on the double faults

She managed to win but I don't know what is going on with her serve

Another fantastic win for Sonay! A good day for all the Brits in singles and doubles, with everyone winning, I think!

Thanks for the new thread Raahh

So, its raining at IW- they are going for the technical ball kids 'mopping the lines with towels' option.

It's only drizzling. But everyone is getting out the ponchos.

Players have given up now, and gone in, seems the rain has got worse.

Hopefully that will delay Holger & Stef until the football is over!

At this rate Jane they will be going back in again after the warm up- Annabel seems to think it's raining again .

For someone so fond of fashion, Roger really got involved with one of the dullest sports brands in On. (I know his stake is worth £££££ so he probably doesn't care it looks awful-plus he never had to wear it).

I think Iga should ditch them, and get herself a snazzier kit .

Boo! I finally get chance to watch some tennis and it's raining! Even Indian Wells looks a bit bleak when it's raining

Jonathan and Annabel discussing the odd 'ban' that Iga served. (that was framed as a 'rest' between tournaments at the time).

It's all been a bit murky, the doping stuff lately.

It's brightened up a bit now Fizzy (well, a bit).

Iga's team are wearing bright yellow hats. They don't make her kit look any better.

It's sunny again now!

Yes I think the whole doping thing is a bit murky Raahh - Iga and Jannik obviously had the financial resources and clout to negotiate good outcomes - not sure how the lesser ranked players in similar situations will feel (well I can imagine how they feel) - it all leaves a bit of a sour taste

It does- and I like Iga and Jannik, but it really doesn't look good for the sport.

Karolina is really struggling. Iga seems to have this ability to reduce players to jelly. No matter how good they are, they get on court, and suddenly, they are 0-3 down.

Well done Iga- Karolina never got going at all, she can play much better than she did today.

Come on Yosuke!

Iga winning each set in 29 minutes!

That's probably quite lengthy for her

Looks like play has restarted.

Yosuke has lost to Tallon but still a great tournament for him, looking forward to seeing more of him in future.

Holger is playing so well!

Oh my goodness he just hit a tweener lob winner

Well done Holger. One of the best matches I’ve seen him play.

My usual 1.30 wake up call- so I have been checking scores. Play was still suspended when I went to sleep- and is again, by the look of things. I'm glad Holger had a good match.
Not so good for Joe Salisbury, whose form continues to dip.

Bit of a nightmare for the tournament if the weather carries on like this, it's not really used to bad weather- none of the courts have a roof. Also affects practice schedules.

Very glad that Daniil beat TP- I am not a TP fan, and he had that annoying smirk on his face when I saw him win a point the other day, so childishly, I'm glad he was bageled. petty, moi? It saves us from his gf getting anywhere near a photo op with the trophy.

Plus, I like Daniil . (The long sleeves under the t-shirt make his already awful kit /green shorts look even worse though- I hope he has a kit change coming for the clay season).

Not a good night all around for British men in the doubles. And Casper's tournament is now over.
