TENNIS: this could be Rotterdam or anywhere

[JaneJeffer]

First set to Cerundolo the Younger.

Come on Valentin- don't be losing at home!

Valentin has the second set.

Finally found it. RB playing up. Sky News says the moon thingy is on but it’s that fecker Hegseth talking crap

Valentin steaming ahead now

Third set going much better for Valentin- Cerundolo has run out of steam, or the crowd is getting to him.

Aww Stef’s little dog is gorgeous

Well done Valentin

Well done Valentin- I was a bit worried he would lose first round! That would have been very disappointing.

Looks like he about to write an essay on the camera.

Flavio is in trouble

Back from the trenches

Aww- my niece has a daschund - he is a crackers.

Jannik won the fan favourite award again

Yes, he did have to work for it.

Oh blimey- he plays Musetti next!!

The crowd sounds like a crowd of drunks outside a pub

Val's fans are very vocal.

Flavio having racquet trouble

Now Flavio is flying. He must have a date to get to.

Guys I am such an idiot. I took a tumble walking on an uneven path and fractured my big toe Had to spend the whole afternoon in A&E and have been given the most ridiculous silly shoe thing.

At least I now have an excuse to sit on the sofa and watch tennis.

Flavio has decided to take the scenic route.

Well done Flavio.

Sounds painful Ice

Well done Flavio. Great support from the teenage boys.

Ouch Ice, hope it heals quickly.

Ouch!

But yes, good excuse not to move from the sofa.

I have foolishly said I would take DD2 into town to meet up with DD1 tomorrow. This means Primark hell.
I might just sit in Costa , and transfer the cash.

And I miss Casper's match.

Humbug.

Oh dear Ice - wishing you a speedy recovery although yes it is a good excuse for sitting on the sofa tennis watching

I would definitely transfer the money Raahh - I stumbled into our local Primark yesterday and soon made a swift exit!

I always forget how early the matches start in MC - it looks as if Matteo and RBA are on at 10am - hopefully I’ll get to see some of it
