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!).

Aureli has better eyesight than me!

me too!

I'm enjoying Naomi's commentary She makes me laugh.

I always enjoy Naomi (and Liam)

They should take over Strictly, Liam and Naomi. I don't know if they can dance. But they would make me laugh.

And Naomi can rock a glam frock.

I like the more passionate Paris crowd. And Mussetti is playing beautifully.

I think tennis players should be good dancers given all the footwork but the Wimbledon Ball has proved otherwise

I wish they would stop that chant though

Annabel was quite good on Strictly.

Andrew Castle was terrible.

Especially because someone keeps starting it, and no-one is responding!

Naomi agrees it's annoying

'long levers' is surely trade marked to Zverev.

I might have to flip between this and the Bublik match ehen that starts.

Woah!

I missed that - doing dinner

Don't think this Will last too long. Beautiful backhand.

No, I think Lore M is probably going to wrap this up in 2 sets.

I do like Sonego though. But really want to see Musetti get a good run this week.

Me too, he so wants to go Turin and wants it to be on merit.

Yes, that will mean a lot to to him. He has been unlucky with injuries this year when he was doing well.

Quick look at the Moutet/Bublik match- still early, the crowd seems a bit more restrained at the moment considering it's a French player involved.

Although as I typed that, Bublik has broken.

Not a lot of chanting. Just yelling.

Sonego has other ideas about the 2 set win for Lore then. Might yet go to 3 sets.

I have to go to Emmerdale now and then there’s football so I think that’s my tennis viewing for today done

3 sets it is.

Come on Musetti!

Falling to pieces a bit here, get it together Lore

He is- needs to focus. I wonder if the pressure is starting to get to him.

I’m back for a few minutes. This is unexpected but it’s nice for Lorenzo S!
