Shame- Inglis had a chance to get a game on the board then. But Iga is doing Iga things.

Iga looking very untroubled.

Very unruffled. I need to walk the dog before the Casper match, I don't think I will be missing much if I do it during the second set of this.

IceandIndigo · 26/01/2026 08:38

There’s been a lot of one sided matches the last couple of days. Hope Casper’s match is more competitive - although I really want him to win the tournament and name his child Kanga Ruud Grin

I laughed so much at that Ice (and I'm currently full of a old, and coughing and laughing are dangerous, iyswim).Grin Blush

Raahh · 26/01/2026 08:53

I'm glad she's got a game. They always act like they've won the match Grin

Fizzywinegum · 26/01/2026 09:34

Well done Lore - please beat Djokovic!

I’m here for Kanga Ruud Grin - I was also wondering if Casper was secretly hoping to avoid the birth - just turn up when it’s all over and done with!

Fizzywinegum · 26/01/2026 09:40

Makes me think of Mark in the Peep Show who spent hours eating KFC and playing video games while Sophie was in labour Grin -although I’m sure I’m doing Casper a disservice - he might want to lose just to avoid Babsi’s questions!

Raahh · 26/01/2026 09:45

Timed the dog walk perfectly - I'm glad Maddison made the scoreline look a bit more respectful.

I do want Casper to win- but yes Fizzy- I think he might be wanting to swerve the oncourt questons. Maybe he will lie and say he'sjust got a call he needs to take? Grin

Raahh · 26/01/2026 09:47

Casper needs to serve the way he was doing the other day - which was unusual for him really, it's fair to say. But he served a lot of aces against Marin.

Raahh · 26/01/2026 09:59

That was a hard game- started off well.

ChessieFL · 26/01/2026 10:07

I saw a clip earlier of Babsi getting Caspar to dress a dolly, put a pram up and get a sling put on. He wasn’t very good at any of it!

IceandIndigo · 26/01/2026 10:08

It's interesting how well Casper is playing this tournament, given he's never really done well here. Maybe he really benefits from something non-tennis to distract him. I just hope whoever wins this match is able to give Jannik a contest in the next round.

ooh- come on Casper.

IceandIndigo · 26/01/2026 10:10

What a forehand Casper!

OP posts:
Raahh · 26/01/2026 10:11

First break- come on Casper!

IceandIndigo · 26/01/2026 10:12

I also think it would be entirely in keeping with Jannik's run of luck if Casper won this then had to withdraw from the next match because his wife went into labour.

OP posts:
Raahh · 26/01/2026 10:16

Oh absolutely- Ice, I can see that happening. Conspiracy theorists will have a field day Grin

I get the feeling Casper won’t know what hit him when the baby arrives Grin

JaneJeffer · 26/01/2026 10:24

Juanki is having a change of scenery. The main reason I’m posting this is because of that gorgeous hair 😍 still hate golf though

Yes Casper! Two more like that please.

OP posts:
IceandIndigo · 26/01/2026 10:29

Yes I saw that Jane. It seems like an unusual move but actually I can understand why he wouldn't want to rush into coaching another tennis player. I still think golf is like watching paint dry though.

Apart from Rafa (sob), every retired Spanish player seems to have great hair.

OP posts:
Raahh · 26/01/2026 10:29

Come on Casper!

I know Tim and Nick are hoping for an epic- I'd quite like a straightforward win really,

Raahh · 26/01/2026 10:31

Golf is very boring.

I know Casper disagrees Grin

IceandIndigo · 26/01/2026 10:37

Ben is playing better this set.
