TENNIS: this could be Rotterdam or anywhere

[JaneJeffer]

I had to go out very quickly, but didnt miss too much, then. I would love Val to win this, but I think he might be getting tired.

Pedro
They all looked so suspicious of him... with good reason.

Hubi was very bitchy - no love lost there I think

No, got the impression they don't talk much in the locker room!Jane!

Jamie counting the yoyos

'He needs to keep himself in this'

Stating the obvious a bit there, Naomi.

Val is making me nervous, the number of times he has to come back from 0-40 down.

at least Jamie didn’t ask why is that like Nick Lester would have

True

Phew!- took his time winning that game.

Wow!

Ooh sneaky Alex

Allez!!

So pleased for him.

Well done Valentin & well done crowd for keeping him going!

Everyone he beats can’t get out of there fast enough!

Playing Carlos- he's got nothing to lose. They've never met, and sometimes the big players trip up playing someone they've never played before.

But I do think it will be a match too far for Valentin. Though I'd love him to win the whole thing .

Yay we’ll done Valentin!

You never know. Carlos dropped a set the other day and Val will have the crowd on his side.

I know - and the crowd are just getting more and more excited. .

Difficult one for the spectators, Carlos is so popular, and then they have the new home hero as well.

Going to be loud.

Wow! I had to pause the stream and come back to it so just caught up. What an exciting finish! Thrilled for Val and really want him to win the whole thing, although it feels like an extremely tall order from here.

It would be amazing- given the fact up to last year , his career was based on WCs at Monte Carlo and maybe RG.

He backed up his win in Shanghai, which is the most important thing really. He's proved he can beat top players.

I see that GB BJK Cup team have won the tie in Australia!! God knows how, given that Dart was their highest ranked player, but congratulations anyway!

Sinner looking very efficient.

I'd be happy never to have to watch another match between Sascha and Jannik.

I have to agree with you @IceandIndigo
