TENNIS- US OPEN finals weekend continues. Then it's onwards to Japan and China.

[Raahh]

Not the most exciting title.

I suppose Laver Cup and Davis Cup must be happening too soon.

Well done Daniil. I can't believe he won that. I really want to know what he said to Learner at the net.

That’s it Daniil get the crowd onside

Wow! Crazy match - good to see Tien smiling at the net

I would like to think he apologised - Learner seemed happy with whatever it was. There didn't seem to be any animosity. You can always tell!

Yes I think Tien deserved an apology - he just gets caught up in the moment but sometimes goes too far

Hope that Jerry Armstrong’s not too traumatised by having to peel off Daniil’s ultra sweaty t- shirt - probably not what he was expecting to do today

I know it’s easy to be magnanimous in victory, but it’s nice that Daniil used most of his post match interview to compliment Learner and his game.

Our family supports both de Minaur and Medvedev. It's going to be a great matchup if they both play at their best.

Holger/Vacherot about to start- can't watch for about an hour, so wil be score watching.

I would usually say that it's Holger's to lose- but I think the weather conditions have made it difficult for even the best players, so any one who can last the last the match, stands a chance.

Fingers crossed that Zizou Bergs is that man later.

Over in Wuhan, Jasmine is about to take on Clara Tauson. She needs to win this to keep up her tour finals threat to Rybakina.

Looks like Holger is going well.

I'm not sure how much Daniil will have in the tank after yesterday, AdM will be the favourite.

Goos start from Holger- looks like Jasmine is heading for another 3 set match

Or maybe not? Clara seems to be in pain- another one with cramp? Her thigh is strapped.

Turned over in time to hear Holger saying something he probably shouldn't

Clara is really struggling. It is becoming a feature of nearly every match in the Asian swing-men and women- one player per match is having a problem.

Holger is having a bit of a meltdown and I'm not even sure why.

I'm not able to watch Wuhan, is it as hot as Shanghai? I don't think Clara deals well with heat.

Oh dear. It was pretty inevitable, but Clara has withdrawn.

I didn't think it was as hot, but it seems to have been an issue for some. I don't know if it's a difference is the humidity? It's 35 degrees apparently in Wuhan, so very hot.

I think Clara's problem today was an injury to her leg. She played well in the first set and Jasmine was in danger really, from what I could see from the scores (I missed the first set).

Come on Holger!

Holger needs to keep his cool here.

oof.

Not a great set from Holger, Vacherot deserved to win it.

Valentin, I like you and am happy to see you venture outside Monte Carlo, but I can't accept you and Zizou Bergs as the only people standing between Djok and the final, so I'm going to need you to be nice to Holger here.

Holger in trouble here. And lucky to avoid code violations for language.

No, we need Holger (preferably with a level head, since he would need it to put up with Djok and his 6 ailments per match).

But he is spiralling.

He needs to get on the pickle juice.
