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.

.

1 set all- come on Daniil!

The RB stopped working but I see Taberner won

This commentator is rhapsodising about Pat Benetar today alongside his tourism duties

I like Daniil’s outfit. Much better than that romper suit thing

So who is having a toilet break after play stopped because of a medical incident in the crowd? Why didn’t they go then

Mo seemed to be enjoying making sure the aisles were cleared for the medical emergency - I thought he was going to assist

Come on Daniil - we don’t want lumberjerk to win

Daniil’s outfit with the long socks is giving 50s Dad on Blackpool beach vibes

They are like toddlers, Fizzy they didn't need to go then.

I agree about Daniil's socks, but am glad to see the back of the dip dyed edge blue /green kit.

Though this does look a bit like tea towel.

Why is lumberjerk talking to himself?

He is looking very Muppety.

I understood about as much of that Washington announcement as I have anything in Austria or Croatia. I.E none.

I think Lumberjerk may be getting tired.

I can’t decide if I like Daniil’s kit or not. It’s definitely better than that weird dip dye number.

Daniil was on a VT earlier, talking about the heat, he was saying he falls somewhere in the middle of the players who melt in theheat, and the ones who barely break a a sweat.

He also must be pretty off putting to play against, since he always looks on his last legs, and has the stamina of the Duracell bunny.

Well done Daniil!!

Well done Daniil

Well done Daniil.

Well done Daniil - my tennis watching got taken over by the Tour de France

There are quite a lot of Brits playing later at about the same sort of time - Sky will probably spontaneously combust! Emma R and Naomi Osaka could be interesting - Evans and Moutet could also be interesting - for various reasons

Also in not so shocking news - Goran and Tsitsipas have ended their coaching relationship already - apparently Goran wasn’t very complimentary about Stef’s fitness levels

Oh dear. I was never sure if the partnership was going to be a longterm one, but it's not turning out to be the best year for Stef.

When do we place bets on him dropping out of Toronto?

He’s got a great chance of winning it

I think I’m living in a Bublik world these past two weeks!

Probably- there's really not going to be anyone left, is there?

They’re having a rain delay party

Sasha is taking his time

Hope he hasn’t fallen asleep although it’s probably too loud for that

The DJ is bigging up Sevchenko. anyway- it's like Butlins.

I can see why Alexander is getting annoyed- and he's going back in!

So Sasha is a weather psychic ?
