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

[Raahh]

Come on Matteo!

Pleased to see another win for Mirra - she really is having a great run at the moment. She beat Iga in Dubai, wonder if she will repeat that?

And of course very pleased to see another win for Jack!

Have been out and about this week so no chance to watch any of the tennis, hoping to be able to catch some over the weekend. Timings don’t help me as I’m no good at staying up late!

Mr Nobu

Yes it’s the app that I’m on - it does look more like the old Mumsnet now I think

Well done Jack - I would like to see his match against Carlos but it will probably be on in the middle of Saturday night (I think) I haven’t managed to watch much at all really

Well done Jack. Haven't seen any IW tennis but would like to watch the semi vs Carlos, depending on time! Saw a brief highlights reel of Jack and Ben. The spectators looked frozen, in woolly hats, scarfs and gloves, and Ben was wearing a base layer. Californian desert? Looked more like Nottingham in June

Yes I don’t think they’ve been having their usual weather at IW kazza

From the bit I saw the crowd were all bundled up as if they were at the British seaside

I’m hoping that they show Jack’s match at a reasonable time (especially for a European TV market) but who knows

I think the semi finals will be in the evening IW time, so not ideal for us. They should both be really good matches, Carlos is obviously the favourite but I feel like Jack has a decent chance of an upset the way he’s been playing. Holger has a chance against Daniil too, although the win over Fils will have given him renewed confidence. Hopefully the weather there will improve, windy and freezing cold isn’t really ideal conditions for tennis!

Yes I think you’re probably right Ice about the timings - it’s a shame as I would like to see both matches

Looks like the men will be starting at 20:30 tomorrow, so that’s not too bad. Holger and Daniil will play first.

Just seen the overnight scores - Aryna comprehensively avenged her AO loss , beating Madison 6-0 6-1.
Another big win for Mirra Andreeva though, beating Iga in 3 sets.

Really pleased for Mirra, although it is a shame for Iga. I think Aryna will win it though.

Gosh Aryna certainly got her revenge on Madison Keys! I also think she will beat Mirra, who is having a magnificent season.

Yes, I think Aryna will win - but I hope Mirra can hold her own at least (and not fall apart if she loses too badly - though I think she's matured a bit on that front in the past year). 17 is so young though- and I always think she looks even younger than she is.

I neglected to add her to my list of singles players who also play doubles - to a decent level . Her and Diana Shnaider have a good partnership, lots of deep runs in tournaments- and it can only have helped with experiencing the big moments ( similar to when Gauff played a lot of doubles, it really helped her singles).

The weather in Indian Wells looks better!

It looks as if normal weather has resumed in IW - looks nice and hot - not sure if that will be good for Jack later on against Carlos

Daniil's hair is looking a bit wild

I was hoping to watch this, but can't so I'm score watching.

Fergus with the short shorts

Sky have done nothing to improve the sound quality.

Dannii is so awkward looking

Tim sleeping on the job

Have you only just realised?

Jane the sound drives me nuts. It's so low. And I forget, and switch over and scare myself with how loud 'proper' tv is

I can't predict this match at all. Wonder if we'll get this again

Tim is away with the fairies tonight. Think he's got sun stroke!

Tim does look as if he’s melting!
