TENNIS thread- The Asian swing limps to a humid close- let's chuck away the ice towels and head to Europe.

[Raahh]

Via a couple of Exhibitions in Saudi Arabia.

Thread was coming to an end (if I can work out how to link it!).

The trophy is like a big Christmas bauble

Not a bad week, is it?

It needs a few sparkles- like the Strictly glitter ball.

Is he speaking Swenglish?

Did Ugo just get flowers?

It's always funny when languages stick random English words in , because they have just been absorbed and are common usage.

I suppose we do the same.

This bloke is bigging up his part.

There was a small box, that looked like a jewellery box- but no smaller trophy.

At least it wasn't like one of the women's tournaments where they were given necklaces and had to pretend to like them.

I thought the prince would present the trophy. Not that I ever heard of him before!

Straight into Brussels- Casper timed that really well.

I ought to move though .

I missed that. Casper got one as well. Looked like a ring.

So many finals

Bublik Instagram today

Those socks!
I can't get over Holger really, it's just really sad.

1 set all- I've had this in the background whilst doing dinner.

Felix will regret missing those championship points.

I think it’s going to end on a tiebreak

Or maybe not now Felix has the break

Well done Felix

Jiri is the picture of misery

I missed the end- well done to Felix- he's another who does well at this time of year.

Another day, and we are continuing our European tour (for the men).

The little nets the ball kids have in Vienna always make me laugh.

I thought those were only for Covid. They look like more bother than good.

The commentators have got a group chat. I’d love to read that!

I see Mahut is playing doubles with Herbert in Basle. When is he going to retire??

I missed Casper's match in Stockholm yesterday so caught up with it this morning. Holy crap, he was unreal! I think that the best match I've ever seen him play.
