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!

So Karthy has just confirmed that Casper is the second alternate- I'm a bit surprised he agreed to go. I know the first alternate (Bublik) gets paid- not sure about the second. Maybe both get the same. Nice amount of money for probably not having to do anything

As well as qualifying late, Lorenzo missed out on all the media stuff- wll he get a team photo in a posh suit?

Carlos is wearing diamond necklace.

I think the year Stef turned up in a poncho was a classic.
It's odd not having Stef and Daniil in the finals actually.

Booing Carlos? How very dare they?

Fergus is probably happy about that although Carlos isn’t afraid to have a go at him either

I think both alternates get paid to turn up, then get extra if they are required to play. I am a bit surprised Casper opted to turn up, I thought he was on holiday!

That shade of yellow is godawful.

It really clashes with his hair..

I can’t believe they did the group photo shoot with only 6 players. Poor Felix was in Turin practicing and still wasn’t allowed to be in it!
It’s a shame they make them wear suits now, Stef in the poncho looking like some lost disciple was amazing.

I do still like Carlos's hair though. Although I did like it when the roots started to come through. Reminded me of my dog (he's a salt and pepper schnauzer )

I would like his hair better if the back was more graduated, he looks like a mushroom.

It did look better when it was basically from almost bald and came after a mistake.. And his whole head was bleached.
The more 'shaped' look actually doesn't look as good.

Well, you've thrown that lead away.

Vamos Carlos, come on!

Whenever anyone says breaker I think of Convoy. Why do they never play that at the tennis?

Vamos!

Phew! Come on Carlos.

That was a nervy first set from Carlos. I guess that’s what losing to Cam Norrie will do to a person.

He seems to have woken up now.

Yikes

Wow!

That was a shocker of a match from Carlos's side. Definitely one to forget

Well done Carlos

Well done Carlos.

Well done Carlos.

Eek he doesn’t even have a brother to blame
