Matteo.

Kamil seems like a really nice bloke. Well done to him, he took his chance.

But...worst first Monday ever!

Oh no

I've just turned over to the Fritz/GMP match- sounds echo-y- have they closed the roof already? Or is the sound just rubbish

Well done Katie. Shame Paula is out

The roof is shut on Number 1 court - not quite sure why

Well done Katie!

Very sad Matteo is out though.

Surely there’s no chance of Sascha’s match finishing tonight?! I suppose they might if it’s really straightforward…

I imagine it's potentially because it could go on a while- and certainly past the point of natural light. This way I suppose they don't have to delay play and close it.
Maybe.

It's unusual for them to be so forward thinking

Chessie- with the roof closed , it might. Just. They've got 2 hours. So they need to hustle.

But (and this is a sore point with me) - if they close the roof tonight, and the match doesn't finish- then, according to the 'rules' of the 2018 Djok/Rafa semi final, the roof should be closed tomorrow, yes?

But I bet it won't be.

Quelle surprise- a tie break.

Mac

Sascha looked like he was about to fall over.

I'm a bit worried about the net here!

Poor Matteo - I just saw the last few games - it’s been a bit of a wild opening Monday

I’ve got a choice of Fritz v GMP or Fritz v GMP. The wonders of modern technology eh?

oof- 2 sets to GMP, blimey, could it be another upset before the end of the day?

Oof, Taylor.

That is pants Jane.

I am very envious of DD watching the Fritz Mpetshi Perricard match

I’m watching Claire instead. Things are bad!

GMP is easier to type 😃

If you aren't paying proper attention, Zverev and Rinderknech look very similar.

But that does not mean I think BJK has a point.

Now it’s on three channels!

They really are taking the piss, aren't they Jane.

Oh yes, always abbreviate where possible.

It’s a conspiracy Raahh so many matching outfits today!
