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!

Oh he was in the Maldives!

Well done Julian and Lloyd.
Unfortunately, I think they play Joe and Neal in the semis I suppose on the positive side, it means there'll be a British pair in the final

Well done Julian and Lloyd.

I wonder if the players ever bump into each other at the Maldives. Daniil is posting lots of holiday pics from there too.

I went on my honeymoon to the Maldives, more than 30 years ago Lots of shiny new wedding rings
Probably a bit more luxurious these days, although we thought it was stunning.

It's really bonkers, that he will lose, having won one match- but Alex will go through- having won one match!

I am still rooting for Joe and Neal- it would be great for them to end the year on a high.

I do hope the crowd really get behind Lore- but Carlos is so popular, it might be more of a split crowd than other matches.

Is this supposed to be Lore's best bits- because it seems to be lots of 'matches he should have won'.

oh- maybe Lore might be the bigger favourite with the fans then, according to Laura.

Musetti really needs Paris -Carlos to turn up .

Ooh-- Matteo

Oh gawd.

I feel like I do this dance routine myself now.

ok, maybe not

They were booing Carlos earlier. I think it will take more than that to put him off his game.

This is the first time I’ve seen the dance thing

Come on Lore, dig deep

No, I don't think a few boos will get to him.

He's played to partisan crowds before.

I think the best I'm hoping for, is that Lore doesn't get blown off the court. Which could happen. But I hope not.

You don't need to see it again. They do the same thing, afternoon and evening .

It’s a bit French and Saunders

They don’t show the dance thing on TennisTV, I’m not sure if I should be disappointed…

Carlos doesn’t get on with Fergus, I wonder if that’s why he’s been allocated this match

Oh my goodness.

Jonathan is making my head hurt.

Why couldn't Fritz win this afternoon?!

If Fritz had won it would have made the maths more complicated!

Actually, you're right.

Can we just blame Djok? It's always easier to blame Djok.

Ok Vamos! Or Forza!

I am always on board with blaming Djok.

As long as nobody dies it’ll be grand Laura

That service game should hopefully settle his nerves a bit.

Matteo.

That's a bit distracting

This a stressful game.
