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!

He's always Billy 'Arris Goes to Paris to me aswell Raahh
Although it's always a big shock when he speaks without a Cockney accent

He should be made to speak with a cockney accent , shouldn't he?

Francisco and Tim don't seem to be agreeing much when it comes to coaching. Emma appears to be ignoring both of them.

I'm starting to think the coaches are a waste of time

This is an interesting match between Emma and Maria. But Tim is sooo patronising,
good lord.

I’m not sure if Stef has showered since his match.

Well this has taken a turn. Not looking good for Emma now.

Well done Maria.

Well done Maria

Well done Maria. She's been very determined this tournament.

Catherine got her hair chopped. I didn’t recognise her for a second!

His coaching style seems to extend to 'play one point at a time' Good job!!

Might as well pat her on the head, and remind her to get it over the net, to be honest.

Carlos will not be ringing him any time soon...

I had to do a double take- plus he introduced her as 'Cath'
Not seen her for a while.

Bit late to be starting the mixed doubles.

I dont know how the women players put up with being mansplained to by these male ‘coaches’ (and Stef ) - can’t imagine it the other way round

I was having a look for Olivia Nicholls stats and this came up in the ‘people also search for’ part.
Google are you ok? It goes to Henry’s bio if you click on it

I don’t know what was going on there

Well done Neal and Olivia

Henry not looking his best there!

Just been half watching Grigor win a match Brisbane. It's good to see him playing well - he played in Paris at the end of last year , but wasn't fully fit.

So, it appears they are at the QF stage at the United Cup- but I can't work out how they got there- like all round robins, it probably involves complicated maths.
I'm also confusing myself (and Sky isn't helping), because I keep watching bit from the other tournaments that are in play as well- and forgetting that they are separate,

I'm just glad the snow we got here, melted yesterday. I bloody hate snow.

I wanted the Greeks to win the doubles because the USA chanters in the crowd were annoying me.

I wanted the Tsikkari team to win too. They've worked bloody hard, seeing as it's really just the 2 of them .

True

Medvedev has made a confident start in Brisbane. Two very straight forward matches.

I’ve got Mirra on and she’s just won. Bit wobbly.

'I'm Swiss, I'm going to stay neutral'

Good answer, Belinda
