TENNIS thread- Nearly time to say 'Adios' to Madrid, but there are plenty of matches still to get our teeth into...

[Raahh]

Open Wide!

Looks like Lorenzo should win this round of the Sexy Dentist contest.

Well looks like Jesper will be playing more in Rome.

This umpire was an air hostess in a previous life

Well done Jasmine.

Not going great for Naomi so far

Felix is out with a back injury

Poor Navone

They weren’t that loud for Sinner either or maybe it’s just Sky audio?

The umpire of doom

Mariano looking pretty in peach

I'm not sure about Jannik in all black.

This could be a tricky match.

Second set going better for Naomi

Jelena had a walkover

Not going well for the American players- Big Foe and Taylor both out, and Ben not doing well.

I see Jannik has a fox on his cap. Haven't seen any of his fans dressing up as foxes yet, the 'Carota' brand was too strong.

Yeah too late with the fox

And Ben is out.

Looks like Naomi is working her way backing into her match.

Seyboth Wild seems to be on the way out as well. I don’t know the Bolivian player he’s up against.

Mariano in with a chance this set.

But not for long...

I’m always amazed at how dark it gets. Still bright here and probably will be until about 10 o’clock

Well done to Jannik- and nice meeting at the net.

Well done Jannik

He will be glad to get that over with.

I just hope the interviewers keep the questions about his 'time off' to a minimum.

I’m not great at understanding the points but he’s still miles ahead of Sascha even after months off

No, I think it's true to say that Carlos and Sascha didn't really do anything to capitalise on his absence (I think Sascha was the one who could have benefited most, but just didn't get the wins).

(and I think with the Rome points drop from last year as well, Carlos is now back in second place- so Sascha is back chasing the runner up spot).

Sofia Kenin is currently serving for the set against Sabalenka.
Gasps apparently in the stadium. Kenin is actually not a bad player- and a slam champion/ finalist. She's had bad luck with injuries over the past few years.

Arthur Fils has turned his match around, and looks like he might draw level in his match with Stef.
