New thread

I saw Daniil’s post thanking him but I wasn’t sure if it was a Dear John letter or not. Gilles is such a fixture it’ll be weird without him sitting there.

I am not sure who will be brave enough to take on Daniil- but Goran always seems up for a challenge

I know , Jane He's put up with a lot over the years.

Definitely not Uncle Toni anyway: he wouldn’t cope

Close ups of the Adidas shirt (which auto corrects to shit, aptly) really don't make it look better.

Oh, no. Poor Uncle Toni. He would be rocking in a corner.

Andre Agassi would not be putting up Robbie checking out all the famous faces in the crowd.

All a bit one sided now.

And the commentators are not even bothering to watch the match. Just waffling about the people in the crowd.

Well done Naomi!

Just saw that Naomi won.
Hard to tell whether it's an upset or not really. She's been improving a lot recently, getting back to form- and Coco has been having a few issues since RG.

Robbie is obsessed with Rami Malek

Yes Raahh - it feels like an upset but Naomi has won this title twice before and as you say has had some great results recently.

Well done Munar, got to be in it to win it and I was short changed on Saturday in watching Lorenzo.

Yes, it's a funny one, results wise - given Coco's ranking it's an upset, but knowing what Naomi is capable of, it really isnt.

I just hope Coco isn't too down on herself- they made such a big deal of her serving issues the other day, it was really unfair.

I am surprised Jaume is carrying on, but fair play to him.

Jane I've had the theme tune to the sitcom 'Dear John' in my head now, for the last 30 minutes.

Ooh- this is a turn up.

Break point for Jaume.

oof.

Sorry Raahh maybe a blast of Sweet Caroline would help?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Well done Naomi- hope that Coco is OK - she doesn’t look very happy these days

Goran and Daniil could be interesting … definitely not Uncle Toni!

Was interesting to hear about Felix’s wedding preparations - he’s onto the final suit fitting - he seems too young to be getting married but has always seemed very mature

Fizzy I feel like Felix has been around for ages- and his really deep voice always makes me think he is far older than he is.
I'm amazed he's only 25.

The 'new-ish' gens seem to get married young. Taylor Fritz had a baby at around 19, Musetti will have 2 , at 23.

The previous lot were in long term relationships ,and then got married (like Roger, Djok, Rafa and Andy).

Lore is playing some lovely shots, but Jaume is really not in this match .

Well done Lore.

Munar was not 100%, but I don't think that would have mattered.

First time in the quarters, well deserved Lorenzo Mussetti
