TENNIS: this could be Rotterdam or anywhere

[JaneJeffer]

Oh dear Stan.
I wish Nick Lester and Dom Inglot would shut up. They have verbal diarrhoea

Ooh, just realised Stan has won the second set against Cam. Come on Stan!!

Bloody hell!!
What a way to win a match.
Poor Stan

Hard luck Stan.

I missed the end, just got in to see Stan's presentation- bet he's thrilled with his Goody toy!

I think Stan just wants to leave.

Oh- they cut him off.

To watch the repeat of Draper not finishing his match again.

Robredo clearly no Murray fan. He said when Roger, Rafa and Djokovic were winning everything, Stan was the only player to win 3 Grand Slams!!

Maybe he meant 3 different surfaces (giving him the benefit of the doubt)

(Except he didn't win on grass, so that doesn't work )

Maybe just 3 different slams, then.

Hhmm

Lorenzo is looking in control of hs match.
It's a shame Martin Landaluce is playing him, I would have liked him to get a bit further on 'home' turf. He's from Madrid, I think, so he will be hoping to do well there (has a WC).

Will be happy with a Lorenzo win though.

Just tuned into Barcelona and Carlos having treatment for a problem to his arm. He seems to be pushing through but it's not a great sign for him given he plans to play all the clay Masters.

In Munich Sasha Bublik has lost to (checks notes) Alex Molcan.

Just realised Stef is also playing in Munich. Hope he can get a win, he's been having a rough time.

Well done Carlos.

He should probably pull out of the tournament, but he won't want to.

Well done Carlos.

I was surprised to see Stef was playing Munich- I always think of him playing in Barca (I think that was the first tournament he came onto my radar, when he played Rafa in the final, and it was really gloomy- 2018?)

I think Stef has been the runner up in Barca 4 times- maybe he decided he was going to try and win somewhere else

Yeah, I can't imagine choosing chilly Munich over Barcelona. I think the field is stronger in Barca though so maybe a good choice — and Carlos has always been a particularly bad match up for Stef even when he was playing well.

Stef has the first set anyway, despite having to save 10 break points.

The lack of Carlos must have been a deciding factor for Stef.
It does seem to be a stronger field in Barcelona (Stef's current ranking doesn't really reflect what he is capable of , obviously).

Renaud looks frozen.

Play suspended in Munich ? Stef not happy.

Hard luck Stef. Fabian finally converting his millionth break point to win the match.

Oh dear, another loss for Stef- who was not happy to go in last night.
Well done to Marozsan.

X post- he took his time converting those points!

I’ve only got to see bits and pieces of the last couple of days. DH has injured his foot so he’s fairly immobile and I’m having to be nursemaid.

I don’t know how Stef is going to get back to form. I don’t think any coach would last long in that camp.

That bodyguard looks like Gregory Porter
