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!).

I read earlier that Lore has taken a spot at the Athens tournament next week, so he obviously hasn't given up on his WTF hopes yet. He's the second seed, after Djok - so he has a decent shot. Tsitsipas had to withdraw, which is sad because he's always wanted a 'home' event.

I think if Felix wins today, it's game over though. (Unless Djok doesn't play Turin).
But Djok could meet Tabilo in his first match in Athens-and Tabilo has a 2-0 hth against Djok. Not many can say that .

Well done Henry and Harri, commiserations Julian and Lloyd.

Laura looks gorgeous

I don't really know what to watch.

I think I will start with the Jasmine/Aryna match (unless Aryna gets too noisy, and that will make the decision for me).

Forza Jasmine!

The photo session in Ruyadh looks a bit awkward. It's not like pictures with cute mascots, is it?

I am watching Paris although would rather be watching WTAF. I haven’t seen much tennis this week because of half term so no idea if Felix has a chance. Hoping for a decent match.

I still can't make my mind up about Jasmine's dress. it is a bit like a wet suit.

I hope this is a competitive match.

Oh Felix, this is not a good start.

I'm flipping between the two- I was a bit worried that Jannik would get off to a good start.

It's a similar story with Aryna, who is already too noisy and getting on nerves.

I was hoping Jasmine would find some of the same form she had when she beat Iga.

But at least she's got the doubles!

Phew! Game on the board for Jasmine.

I imagine indoor hard isn’t going to be Jasmine’s best surface.

No, although she did well enough in the doubles yesterday, but that's a bit different.
And played well indoors during the BJK cup. I think she's just strugglng against Aryna (which is understandable- most players do).

Back on serve for Jasmine, think it took her a couple of games to find her feet.

Good game Felix

Aargh!

Damn - disappear for a minute, and now Aryna is serving for the set.

Time violation for Felix. Was probably just a couple of seconds

He’s not happy and I don’t blame him. Hopefully he’ll channel it into his tennis

Need a new thread Raahh!

I hope this works!

I don’t know what Felix can do

It's running away from Jasmine now.

Felix is starting to look tired

It’s tough for Felix. He’s trying hard but Jannik is just flawless.
