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. .

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

Are they still banging on about that? I’m watching Stef with no commentary. Silence is golden

Bouzas Maneiro is doing pretty well lately, she has been putting together some decent runs in tournament.

They were Jane- a whole segment about him-The Saga of Sinner they called it.

And Robbie is still waffling on now.

Sky is getting on my nerves. (As usual).

Can't they stick with one match?

Mine has for the second time disconnected itself from the WiFi so that the RB stops working. What a fucking liberty!

Well done Stef

Well done Jannik

Diallo’s hair is a mess!

I see ADF had to retire which is a shame. Emma won her match so at least there is still a Brit in there!

I’m not sure what’s going on with ADF. I watched the first set of his match against Joao last night and he was comfortably the better player. I went I bed and this morning I see he retired in the second after initially leading 4-0. Basically exactly the same thing as happened in Canada. I hope he’s ok. The conditions in Cincy are very hot and humid so possibly that.

Flavio also lost a close match to Terence Atmane.

Oops, forgot Cam is still in too!

It wasn't a good day for some of my favourite players really . I don't know what is going on with ADF either. And Casper's form has been in slow decline since getting injured after winning Madrid. Maybe Daniil can pull something out of the bag- or Holger can win the whole thing.

I like Jannik and Carlos- but it's nice when other players win stuff too

It's easy to overlook Norris

Cam, Cam, competent but bland

Poor Norris

Hello. Delurking to ask about Cincy (and then US Open) TV coverage as I’m about to sign up to one month of Now TV sports.

Could I please ask 2 questions? 1)are you able to watch any match or only the one match that tennis channel is showing? 2)can you access past matches you missed?

Assuming that the regular posters on this thread are watching it on Sky Tennis (which I understand to be basically what I get through Now TV), I would appreciate your input!

@WhereShallWeGo I don't have Now- but have Sky channels as part of my Virgin package.- sometimes it's on 2 Sky channels on that, sometimes 1. There is a red button option. When it works it allows the option to watch all available matches.

I don't think the red button has a highlights or rewatch option (Prime used to have this, I think). The main Sky tennis channel seems have been repeating the Sinner match from yesterday on a loop

@Raahh
many thanks for your kind reply! I will get the Now for one month as desperate to see some tennis. Good to know that RB options exist - when it works 😬

I will be crossing fingers that RB works most of the time when I subscribe…

Good luck! Hopefully it will work- Sky are better than TNT (just about) - their coverage of the French Open was really poor.

And this is why I am grateful for the red button- I do not want to listen to Norris, when there are matches about to start. I would rather watch Jasmine and Maria warming up than that, thanks.

Looks very hot in Cincy.

Now they are showing it.

As usual the sound quality is dire.
I like both of these two- but would like Jamine to win. It's a shame they are meeting so early.

Good start for Jasmine, though neither are playing particularly well.
I feel like Jonathan and Naomi are team Maria.

Maria is on the come back trail .

Back on serve- not another day when I jinx all my favourite players!

'The Cam Norrie Court' Stop it!

Come on Jasmine!

I hate tie breaks.
