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!).

Eala is still doing the annoying shadow swinging thing with her racquet that makes me want to throw things at the tv.

I don't know why it bothers me so muc, but it does .

Why is this match on both channels?

It was just an update on SkySp. My RB didn’t come back properly. I can get audio but no picture!

My red button has been a bit hit an miss today. It's working at the moment, but that doesn't mean a lot.

I do feel like I've seen Moutet play a lot this year.

Well done Corentin.

Daniil's hair looks thicker on top

Once he gets sweaty, it will probably vanish. .

Thomas Johansson is smiling now.
Hopefully he will still be smiling in a few games time. .

MTO for Munar already, because his knuckles appear to be bleeding.

Well done Daniil.

Ooh, Bublik-Moutet tomorrow could get spicy.

ADF doing better in this second set.

All square now, 1 set each.

oof- noooo. Is ADF ok?

Vamos! Well done ADF!

Well done ADF

I've agreed to take DD2 into town tomorrow Primark hell beckons.
Annoyingly, Casper's match is first on, so I will probably miss it. I hope he's fit enough to play. Looked a bit worrying when he retired the other day - hopefully it was just a precaution.

Carlos is playing shockingly.

I saw a bit of the start, and have been score watching since. He doesn't always seems do well at the end of the year/indoors.

I know he isn’t great indoors, but I didn’t know he was this bad.

Baffling. Well done Cam.

Wow.

Well done Cam- but what happened to Carlos?

And will he even go to Turin? Something seems off (sorry Cam, you're not that good).

Don't be mean, he kept his cool and saw the match out. Biggest win for him amd much as I like Carlos I'm glad he can be beaten by someone other than Sinner.

Nicolas Mahut has finally retired!

Never thought we would see the day!
I saw he was playing this week with Grigor, but didn't see any of the match.
I've always had a soft spot for Nicolas.

Happy retirement!

Well I don’t believe that for one second!

Did Carlos crash out of Paris last year? I feel like he did but I may be misremembering.
