TENNIS THREAD- we're moving on to the Hard Courts and the North American Swing. With a quick clay pit stop to win a cow or two. .

[Raahh]

I think this thread may take longer to fill than the last one.

Had to google Kaiserschmarrn it’s a fluffy pancake served with stewed plums

That sounds lush.

Bublik gets introduced as “one of the most loved players on the earth”

I see Jannik Sinner has reappointed the fitness coach he got rid of last year.

I saw that blue. I wasn’t sure why he got fired in the first place when it was the physio who was responsible for the contamination. Seems like a kind of awkward situation taking him back on

Venus’ interview was funny

This app is so annoying

Tirante not impressed with the underarm serve

Just got back for the end of this - I like Sasha's kit.

Looks like he's got this in the bag- under arm serve or not

He’s a bit nicer to this interviewer

Sasha really is having a moment.
I noticed he was a bit more restrained in his interview (I'm not sure she would have got his humour).

Quick look over at Washington, and in the Popyrin/Wu match- the clock/signs have been removed that Gael ran into.

Oh- the commentator is just mentioning it. How funny

Gorgeous weather in Umag. Taberner looks a bit sweaty. These Spanish boys are surprisingly bad at coping with hot weather

This summer has shown a lot of players (from quiet hot places) struggling more than I would have thought.

No siesta for the wicked

Playing some Nirvana while Carlos has a toilet break 🤘

The Cerundolos are getting about , aren't they?

I think almost everyone has pulled out of Toronto now

Maybe they’ll end up playing each other in the final in Toronto

At this rate Jane they definitely will.

Not started well for Daniil, lost the first set to Lumberjerk. Really want him to turn that around.

Nooo, come on Daniil. I cannot abide Lumberjerk.

Good, he’s taken the second set.
