TENNIS thread-Au-revoir Paris- it's all about the Race for Turin. Who will be the last man and woman standing in 2025?

[Raahh]

So much going on at once!

Lovely news about Ons

I didn’t see the Felix/Jannik match so don’t really know what happened to Felix

Poor Lorenzo is playing again tonight - hope he managed to get some rest

The Felix/Jannik match is replaying - and Felix really did start well.

We've been saying for a while that this tour finals will be survival of the fittest- and honestly, it is looking more and more like that . Obviously Jannik/Carlos are head and shoulders above the rest , at the moment- but it just feels like it's about who can stay in one piece.

The scheduling seems all over the place, when Lore has to play again today (and Fritz)- when Ben hasn't played since Sunday.

I know they are in different groups, and Djok messing things up last minute will have affected things. But still.

Sounds like ridiculous scheduling if Lorenzo has to play again today! Give the man a break, especially as he was well and truly stitched up by Djok
Great news about Ons
I don't like the sound of talk that Neal and Joe are splitting up

I blame Djok for the scheduling issues. Once they mixed up the groups to make sure that neither Athens finalist would have to play on the first day it was unavoidable that someone would have to play back to back days. If they had known Djok wasn't planning to play they could have had a normal schedule with Jannik's group playing Sunday and the other group on Monday.

I will be sad if Neal and Joe split up- they have played wel together and been so close to winning. They need to give it a bit longer .

I think that's the problem- they have not got over the finish line, and I wonder if it's the lack of actually winning titles that is the issue.
Maybe - if they can win this...(big ask, but you never know).

Yes, I'm sure ordinarily, it's a one day on, one off situation, with the group stage - more or less.

Which is why Jasmine had less time off in the WTA finals, as she was doing both.

Close match between Carlos and Taylor so far. Vamos Carlos!

It really is very close- the first 2 games took ages !

Fritz is certainly not letting Carlos have it all his way- but VAMOS! Carlos!

Carlos really needs to get more first serves in if he wants to win this. He's under pressure on every single one of his service games while Taylor is cruising.

Tiebreak. Vamos!

Oof- Fritz gets the first set.

Come on Carlos!!

That was not a good tiebreak from Carlos.

Queens men’s tickets all sold out already!

Blimey! That's quick.

Wow!

Bloody hell! They've only just gone on sale!

Started watching tennis about 15 minutes ago. Carlos is certainly under pressure! An almost 15 minutes service game

Carlos is playing better now, but Taylor is serving so well.

Carlos has such empathy whenever anyone falls; he completely loses concentration on what he’s doing

Oops, jinxed him
Vamos!

I had a presale link to Queens last week so I suspect a lot went before they went on general sale today.

I got Queens tickets in the presale, am going to R16.

Ooh!

Carlos looks a bit puffed

Vamos Carlos!

Well done Carlos.
