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 really did. He seems to be enjoying himself.

Well done Lorenzo (and Stan!) - poor Lore looks dead on his feet

Well done to Matteo who won in Metz.

Turin draw is out. One group is Carlos, Djok, Taylor and AdM, other is Jannik, Sascha, Ben and Felix/Lore.

I saw the draw, and also saw an article where Djok claims he has not yet confirmed he will play, despite organisers announcing he had. He will made a decision when he's finished with Athens. .

I get he is allowed to do that, but it still feels selfish (and he's probably already made his mind up).

Not sure why the WTA doubles are one both Sky channels.

Lore is on the read button- it's very early days though, but he's 2-0 in the first set.

God forbid I ever defend Djok, but he's in kind of a silly position, because the rules don't allow him to withdraw from Turin unless he's injured. And he can't claim to be injured as long as he's still playing in Athens. I'm sure that last year he wasn't injured either, but since he wasn't playing a tournament at the time both he and the ATP were able to pretend that no rules were broken.

That said, I absolutely think he enjoys keeping everyone hanging. A better person would find a way to signal their intentions one way or the other.

Lore is looking good against Muller!

Well done Lore.

Ice I agree with all that- and I don't want to defend Djok either.

I do also think he likes having this bit of control, though.

I'm glad Lore won, he looks knackered though- even if he plays Turin, he might not be physically capable of much at this rate.

I wish Mac was doing the commentary on Norris/Jacquet because he would definitely call him jacket

Oh he would Jane.

The DJ loves Sean Paul

I just tuned in to Lore and the score line is so weird

I've only just managed to sit down to watch any. Was score watching and hoped Musetti was on his way to a comfortable win at the start.

Come on Lore!

Oh dear not looking too good for Lore’s quest to make the ATP Finals - they will probably have to use his puppet if he does actually make it

Forza!

Wow!

Fizzy he really does look worn out.

Thing is, even if he gets to the final, he has to win it. If he loses to Djok(boo!) he will miss out on Turin by 5 points , as Felix will be that much ahead of him.

I'd almost rather he lost in the semi final, and didn't wear himself out, than risk that!

I like Seb, but did he have to choose now to suddenly find the fitness that has been lacking for months?

ooh- Forza! Lore.

Now get a move on

Stressful!

My RB keeps freezing so I’m score watching now

Forza! Well done Lore.

Yay! Well done Lore!

Poor thing looked drip white by the end, gave his all to get to that final.
