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!).

Exactly- it is within the rules. But I'm sensing they want AdM to win.

Eek

Wow- first set to Jasmine, 6-1.

I'm am fully expecting an Iga comeback though. But Jasmine is very focused.

Daniil's mood could change if he loses this.

Come on Daniil!

It’s good shot/bad shot with Daniil

I’m hearing Sascha saying nobody knows what he is doing in my head

Daniil all over the place in that final game, but he got it done.

Jasmine carrying on set 2 as she means to go on- 3-1 up, and serving.

Wow! Forza Jasmine!

Jasmine has match point on Iga's serve.
This has been an incredible match from her- she has played really well. Only 3 unforced errors in the whole match.

And she's won!

Fantastic.

Well done Jasmine!

She is 3-2 against Coco though- all wins have been this year. Most recently Cincy. So that should give her confidence

Come on Daniil!

I think 'don't say it's cramp' is being drilled into the players at the end of this tournament.

I don’t know what happened to Alex there

Well done Daniil

Well done Daniil. Great match. Please beat Djokovic.

Well done Daniil.

Did need him to win it- especially if Djok gets to the final.

It will be a match full of tactics- probably from both sides. Hopefully Daniil wont cramp up. hopefully Djok will.

Of course, Valentin and Arthur could still change all that .

As someone who doesn't have Sky at home, I was easily pleased today to watch tennis at the flick of a button and watched the last 15 mins of Daniil whilst having lunch
Fantastic win for Jasmine aswell!

They were really good matches, kazza especially Jasmine. It certainly wasn't a case of Iga playing badly, Jasmine played very, very well.

I'm looking forward to the matches tomorrow. I just hope Valentin plays the match of his life.

Morning everyone
who are we rooting for today?
im going with the cousins 😊

I’m going for ABD.

A cousins final would be a great story- but I would really like Daniil to win something after 2 years without a title, and if Valentin doesn't win this, Daniil would have a better chance in a final than Arthur .

If Djok is winning easily, I'm not expecting to see any ailments , funny enough. And what's with all the questions to his team already? He's been playing long enough to know exactly what he's doing.

I am probably not going to watch much though,(only so much Djok I can take) and hope Valentin can do well without me- Jasmine plays Coco at 10 in Wuhan, and I would love her to win that (if she plays the way she did yesteray, there is no reason she can't).
