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!

Well done James!

Well done to him, that's lovely.

Well done James - I like him as an umpire - he’s a very calming presence (unlike some others - mentioning no names!)

Apparently Lorenzo has got new hair but I haven’t seen it yet

I managed to miss most of the Battle of the Sexes which was probably for the best - it doesn’t sound as if it was much of a success

Happy New Year everyone 🥂

Happy New Year everyone! Looking forward to the new tennis season starting

I've seen a few pictures of Roger and Rafa at NYE parties but can’t work out if they’re parting together or even if it’s from this year - good to see Rafa with the traditional grapes though

I’ve already had a new year Nana nap so maybe I’m just confused

I’m watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang while DH is snoring away. Everyone here is either hungover or has the flu or both (except for me)!

Happy New Year everyone. Here's hoping it's better than the last couple

Happy New Year.
Plauge family here - we've all gone down with the flu, one after the other. I had the vaccine & am feeling better after 5 days but did not even want a festive 🍷!!!!!!! Poor No 1 grandchild (age 9) went back to bed on Xmas day before managing to get up to open pressies. Everyone on the mend now but 2025 is a Christmas to be written off.

That's a bugger magi!

to* *you and your family

Oh dear magi - hope you all feel better soon

Oh no , Magi! That sounds rough. I hope youare all on the mend now, and things improve rapidly.

Maybe you all need a mini celebration mid January, cheer everyone up.

(But without all the cooking and stress!)

Glad you’re feeling better magi

Watching the United Cup. Well done Maria.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you’re all feeling better now Magi. We’ve managed to avoid the dreaded lurgy for now but I feel like it’s only a matter of time. I also managed to avoid the Battle of the Sexes entirely, thankfully.

I’m laughing at how team Greece is just a load of Tsitsipases and Maria Sakkari

I'm surprised Djok didn't declare himself an honorary Greek.

I keep forgetting the Utd Cup is on- Spain have not had a great start.

It is indeed very surprising Raahh perhaps he fears he will not become prime minister of Serbia if he abandons it entirely

I have been making tiramisu and managed to splatter myself and half the kitchen in cream

What fresh hell is time out coaching?

Stef still on the favourite place to play shtick but he knows everyone takes the piss out of him for it

Casper has got off to a good start. Australia are already 1-0 up in the tie though.

Still don't like the hair, Casper (looks a bit better with the sweat band tied around it though)

AdM doesn't seem to be able to get his serve going at all.
He's split with his kit sponsor Asics, as well.

5 (?) doubles faults so far. It's only game 4.

ADM not quite at his best so far.

Come on Casper!

Well done Casper.

Apparently,Casper got married in December , but it wasn't a big ceremony.
