TENNIS: this could be Rotterdam or anywhere

[JaneJeffer]

What Casper needs, is a different coloured kit.

It will cure everything (especially migraine).

Must be bad when he didn’t wait for the game to end

Blimey, Tomas, you were gifted the opportunity to take a set off Pannik, and you are messing it up.

Felix is going to be a top tennis reporter when he retires

Pannik over.

I’ve seldom felt more certain that a set is ending 7-5.

Sorry Tomas, I underestimated you.

Jannik needs some lucozade

I really don’t think Tomas has the thighs for those shorts - just channeling my inner Mac

I admire Tomas's commitment to his short shorts.

They look ridiculous, but he's not letting them go.

He's no Holger, Jane.

Well that’s a surprise. Jannik maybe a bit weary?

Holger’s thighs are in tip top condition after all his rehab exercises - not that I’ve been staring

Shame for Casper. Maybe he’s not getting enough sleep.

Let’s hope Jannik takes over from Pannik in set 3!

Jane

I’m surprised that Machac managed to win that set - his shorts are ridiculous

Jannik is not looking well at all - tennis players are a bit of a sickly bunch

Is it going to be one of those days?

In the unlikely event that Tomas goes on to win this, or even that Casper wins and is only 50% fit- I will be even more disappointed that Casper lost.

I mean this with the greatest of respect when I say Jannik reminds me of Djok sometimes. I kind of expect him to win matches despite looking half dead.

It looks like Jane.

Maybe it's another title for Bublik to add to his collection, when all the favourites drop like flies?

Except Djok would have them about to phone for an ambulance and then make a miraculous recovery a few minutes later

I knew he was doing voodoo in the locker room

I do agree a bit with Jannik. He does get ill quite a bit in matches. But at least he has the decency to really look on his last legs. Djok just play acts.

Then makes a miraculous screaming recovery when things go his way.

Both Jannik and Tomas calling the physio, hope they have more than one

Well done Jannik.
