TENNIS: this could be Rotterdam or anywhere

[JaneJeffer]

Iga is in full Rafa mode

I flipping between this and the curling (which isn't going well).

Iga does have a lot of bottles

They never stop flicking around. Worse than DH when he has the remote. Aargh!

Well done Iga. I’m glad Janice got a few games on the board

Fantastic win for Jack Pinnington-Jones vs Cobelli overnight.

Watching the ice dancing now.

I didn’t see any today but Bublik’s match looks like it was fun

I saw a bit of Bublik’s match Jane and it wasn’t as entertaining as the scoreline suggests. They were both playing badly, Hubi hit 3 double faults trying to serve out the match in the second set

ADF is looking good in Dallas.

JPJ has won again and now plays Cilic in the quarter finals.

Bit of an upset for both Swiatek and Rybakina to lose. Apparently, that's the first time Iga has lost a completed match from a set up!

JPJ has had some good wins this week kazza - I’ve not seen any tennis this week but might get to see a bit of his match against Cilic later

The women’s results are a bit surprising - might be a bit of a hangover from the AO for Rybakina but not sure what’s going on with Iga

I was watching the Iga match, but missed the end- Maria has looked like she means business this week- so I'm not surprised she ended up winning.
It has been a tournament of surprises.

Pleased to see Marin doing well in Dallas.
Sad to see Stan bow out in Rotterdam- and Stef won't be happy about losing there to Botic.

It's quite refreshing to have a different mix of names in the Doha semifinals. I am hoping Muchova wins it.

Trying to watch the Olympics and the tennis.

Glad to see Karolina made the final.

Marin is going well in Dallas.

Bad luck Jack. Much better 2nd set. Fed up with Marin's ball bouncing!

The ball bouncing is a lot- but I do have a soft spot for Marin.

Hooray Karo!

I've been out all afternoon- but what a great win for Karolina. That's really lovely.

I'm watching the Skeleton at the Olympics- and Laura Robson turned up on TNT, and I thought she had bleached her hair! Turns out its the fake fur trim on the inside of her hood.

Felix is having trouble with his hip

I haven’t seen much tennis as we’ve been enjoying the Olympics instead. Well done to ADM for winning Rotterdam. I’m really hoping Taylor wins Dallas, he hasn’t won anything for ages.

Well done Ben. Disappointed for Taylor, he had 3 Championship points and probably should have won.

I've been a bit lax in my tennis viewing, because I have been very caught up in the Olympics.
Do keep seeing Laura though.

Lots going on this week- turn of the men to be in Doha, and the women in Dubai,.

Casper is supposed to be playing Delray Beach.

I’m not impressed with Simon Reed’s commentary on the figure skating and didn’t he get sacked last time?! I prefer the BBC commentary but they keep evicting it to the iplayer which is no good for me!

I’ve also been a bit lax in my tennis viewing as well - I did manage to catch literally the last point of the match between ADM and FAA - should have switched on earlier!

In other important tennis news has anyone seen Jack Draper’s new hair? Don’t think he’ll be doing anymore Brideshead inspired photo shoots for a while

Whoever keeps telling tennis players to get buzz cuts / shave their heads wants shooting. Casper's hair is still not growing back properly.

Jack looks dreadful! In fact, it didn't even look like him.

Jane I thought Simon had been sacked from the skating, but he was commentating at a competition I watched recently, and now this . I have been watching most of it on TNT though.

Emma Raducanu continues her run of losses- she was due to play Cocciaretto, who has been playing well this year ( she with drew), so Emma had a chance . But Ruzic has made the most of her win, and won again today.
