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 dear- I think this is going to be another final that Joe and Neal will lose.

Yes, unfortunately. Joe and Neal have played nowhere near yesterday's level.
Get ready for another Heliovaara celebration.

Well done to Henry and Harri - but I really feel for Joe and Neal.

Yep, me too

I wonder if we will see Joe back? He must be wondering if he's the problem- he hasn't had had anywhere near the success since splitting with Rajeev. That must really mess with him, mentally, after all the titles he won previously.
It's probably a good thing to step back for a while.

I'm glad Joe is smiling. This has to be hard.
His speech sounds a bit final in terms of playing with Neal again.

Nice speeches

I'm clinging on to the faint hope that when Joe comes back, he plays with Neal again and Harrison is only temporary. Neal didn't mention Joe at all in his speech.

Louis Cayer made me laugh, moving to Joe and Neal's box for their speeches, then over to Henry and Harri's box for their speeches

You can tell Tim is fighting the urge to whack Gianni or whatever he’s called with his guitar

I noticed that Neal didn't mention Joe, and I did think that was odd.
I thought Henry's comments about them were really nice.

And I really don't like Harrison (though I barely know him ).

Mrs Fognini is a fine looking woman

Is Jannik limping a bit again?

Not another collapse?

So many medical episodes in Turin, what is going on??

Carlos has so much empathy

Only these two would have a chat while this is going on

I’m starting to think they should require a medical screening before letting people buy tickets.

Phew they’re on their feet

Don't worry Tim, I don't think Carlos has forgotten how to serve in the past 15 minutes.

The Alcaraz family looks very nervous today. I wonder if Jannik’s mom is there. She’ll be a nervous wreck.

Raahh Neal's omission was really odd especially as Joe said in his speech that he'd enjoyed playing with Neal this year. I hope there's no bad blood

Guga

I hope Carlos isn’t injured

I hope he’s ok.

kazza I hope there's nothing going on between them too- they didn't really interact much- and Neal barely looked at Joe. I was waiting, and waiting for him to say something.

It was a bit sad really.
