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!

Aahh, haven't seen that Raahh. He will be 41, so probably time.

Others just hang around like a bad smell

Don't they just Kazza.

I can't deal with Djok sticking around til the Olympics, either.

Merry Christmas all! I wonder if Andy has a festive jumper again this year?!

Merry Christmas everybody 🎄

Happy Christmas from me too. 🎾

Merry Christmas everyone! Guess what Father Christmas brought me …

A pooping Rafa - what everyone needs for Christmas!

Ha Fizzy what more could you want!?

No way Fizzy 😆

Fizzy Bahahahaa

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you've all had a good day.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that pic of Andy in his Christmas jumper.

Oh fizzy!!
That* *photo of Andy always cheers me up

I see Venus got married.

Hope everyone is having a good Christmas!

Anyone else watching the Battle of the Sexes? It’s very odd. Unfortunately Kyrgios is winning which means he will be utterly unbearable (even more so than usual).

Now Aryna is doing the Macarena. Not sure that’s going to help her much.

I am!!! And now Sabalenka has called a time out to do the Macarena 😂😲 it is very odd but hope she wins

and what is with the picturing constantly freezing having issues

I'm watching, it's really odd.

Loved seeing Ronaldo or as AC said the original Ronaldo.

Just excited to be able to see some tennis on terrestrial tv for a change.

That’s why I’m watching and also came in to have a sit down and it was this or half way through a movie. Can dip in and out of this

Yes, I’m hoping if this gets good ratings it might encourage BBC to show more tennis.

And Kyrgios has won. Don’t think Aryna has done herself any favours by taking part in this.

I actually forgot all about it - and have spent a lovely couple of hours watching 'Miurder on the Orient Express' for probably the 3rd time this year. . (It's one of my absolute favourite films).

Can't say I'm surprised Dick won, still really don't know why Aryna took part.

Dick will be insufferable, and see this as his 'big comeback' .

When I saw Aryna descend to the court in her 'silver' dress I wanyed Kygrios to win. I actually think she is even more loathsome than him. Both a pair of tossers.

It was all a gimmick and felt rather flat (made me miss Wimbledon fortnight even more). Just wish someone like Prime, BBC, CH4 or ITV would get together and bid for more tennis (and rugby, and possibly even cricket).

I'm not much of an Aryna fan , so I do agree Magi ( her attitude in interviews when losing this year has been pretty rubbish).

Amazon/Prime has had it's chance- and been outbid.

It's really annoying for 'proper' fans that we have to put up with the Netflix type stuff that the 6 Kings Slams events-because that's where the money is.

I hate the TNT coverage. I hope it improves.

Casper posted this on instagram- someone in his family mustn't be keen on his new hair cut either

(It's been the Year of the Wig for Casper ).

James Keothavong has been given an MBE. Good for him!
