New thread

Felix is doing well, they made such a big deal of his hth before this match. I'm a bit torn though, because I would like Andrey to win too.

Keep it together Andrey

I watched Iga for a bit, but I cannot stand the vocal fry on the commentator -Jill Craybas. She makes me almost miss Wispa.

Andrey is not having a good day.

'Must win game' - you think, Tim? Master of the understatement, there.

I'm not sure Andrey is coming back from this.

So, it will be a big win for Felix, given the hth. .

Well done Felix.

Looks like Andrey stopped to sign some autographs- nice to see he didn't lose it at the end. Always a concern.

I didn't realise he was getting married too.

That's nice.

Well done Felix

And well done Iga- another interview where the interviewer talks too fast and waffles too much - and there's the awkward 'sorry, can you repeat that' - after a 5 minute long question. .

Time to ban on court interviews. Or just stupid interviewers.

Although I think Naomi Osaka's outifits are a bit ott- I do love the sparkly jacket .

Heading off for my daily fix of Italian eye candy- Lorenzo ought to beat Jaume Munar, but you never know.

And it's Robbie!

Well done Felix and Iga! I’m not watching yet but will hopefully see some tennis soon

I think that Tim has got about four stock phrases and just uses them over again - serve down the t, threading the needle etc etc

Oh, Jaume has the upper hand in the hth.

'crush and rush'

Lovely Lore time

I am home from holiday and finally able to watch some tennis! Pleased to see wins for Felix and Iga.

Sorry Emmerdale!

So Munar isn't well? According to Robbie's sources?

'bouncebackability'

I'm still not convinced it's a word, Robbie.

Oh. That doesn't look good for Jaume.

First set to Lore.

Daniil has split with his coach , Gilles. That's quite sad, they've been together for ages. But maybe Gilles is getting fed up with the drama.
