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!

Poor Alex has no supporters apart from Katie

It’s ridiculous how well Jannik is serving.

Well done Jannik.

Well done Jannik.
I'm glad Alex didn't get bagelled.

Well done Jannik. Had to switch to the rugby but I could see the way the match was going.

I know this doubles match is a battle of the Brits - but I really want Joe and Neal to win it. I think they need to , after the year they have had . The partnership has great potential, but keeps falling short- and I do think if they don't win this week, they will consider splitting. Which would be a massive shame.

I want Joe and Neal to win aswell, especially as they are the only team with an unbeaten record this week, but I'm not sure they will.
I also really don't want them to split but apparently the commentators were saying earlier this week that Neal is playing with Harrison in the New Year, who I don't like
I wonder where Louis Cayer is
He'll have the same problem tomorrow aswell. Perhaps he'll just appear for the post match photos
Apparently, it was Judy Murray who suggested the LTA bring Louis on board. Well done Judy!!

I saw Louis a little earlier- they said he was sitting in a 'neutral bit' He looked a bit lonely .

I am not keen on Harrison either- and he's not even really that good(imo) so not sure why Neal would choose to play with him.

Maybe it's a scheduling thing, and Joe is not available for one/ two events. Hopefully it's not permanent.

Neal was playing with John- Patrick Smith in the Asian swing.

I see Lloyd's fiancée has ditched the fur today but is persevering with the sunglasses

I hate tie breaks, and it's suddenly run away from Joe and Neal.

Bugger!

Alfie and Gordon lost in the final of the Wheelchair Masters. Alfie in the singles final tomorrow.

Liam Broady lost in the All-In Challenger final to Struff, having come through qualifying, but will go up 84 places to 307, I think. He's been playing ITFs recently.

Still not a fan of Neal's shorts
Ken wears them aswell.

Crikey Lloyd!
Come on Joe and Neal!

This has taken a turn!

I see Struff has decided to become a skinhead as well

Long may it continue Jane
Not* *that I have anything against Julian and Lloyd.

Whereas Liam is getting shaggier by the day!

Someone needs to hide the clippers.

Or lock up the barber.

I'm glad Joe and Neal are doing better this set (I've jinxed it now).

Liam always looks better shaggy and beardy, imo. He had better stay away from the shaver.

And definitely the bleach.

Obviously Joe is no longer contagious. Neal is sitting back next to him again

Julian and Lloyd have the year end number 1 - and a bunch of titles this year.

So, it's Joe and Neal's turn .

Come on Joe and Neal!!!!

I don't like the 10 point thingy.

I feel like Joe and Neal would have more chance of winning a full set.

Unfortunately, I think you're right Raahh
