TENNIS: this could be Rotterdam or anywhere

[JaneJeffer]

Anyone watching Doha? Good match between Carlos and Andrey.

Holger is there watching. Nice to see him back on a tennis court.

I saw a clip where the interviewer pointed him out to Carlos after his last match and they gave each other a wave. Holger is back at the rehab facility in Qatar and seems to be doing well 🤞

I also saw a clip of Carlos having a meltdown over the shot clock!

I got confused earlier because they were showing a Holger /Draper match. And it was Indian Wells.

Since I've been watching the Olympics and not paying much attention, I was really confused .

Raahh

Arthur is doing the opposite of everyone else and letting his hair grow out. Looking good.

Love Arthur’s hair, it really suits him. I feel bad for Jakub here because he played brilliantly yesterday to beat Jannik and must be tired, they didn’t finish until after midnight while Arthur had a relatively easy win earlier in the day.

Carlos hates the shot clock. If I see a clip of him losing his temper, it’s always the shot clock.

Carlos is Son of Rafa where the shot clock is concerned.

Can't say I blame him. I hate the shot clock, and all the discussions that go on around it.

I saw that Carlos had an easy win over Arthur in the final- he looked happy with his golden falcon.

I forgot about the final yesterday. I was watching Wuthering Heights from 1939!

I love that one. Had the video for years.

DD1 went to see the new one (after listening to me rant about it- she's never read the book, so enoyed it for the bonkers film it appears to be. ). I'm still ranting about all the characters that appear ro have been cut. How can you completely cut out Hindley?!

The new one sounds completely bonkers!

Seen a photo of Rafa on skis. He looks a bit happier than when he was on the snow with Roger

That was at the French Open presentation last year, wasn't it? It's a shame Rafa has retired- we won't get to see Rafa Jnr (and Miquel) grow up in the stands now.

Maybe they’ll go to watch Uncle Toni’s boys sometime

I would love that- I feel we will miss out seeing baby Miquel!

Maybe, sometime -in the next 15 years- Rafa jnr and Miquel will team up in the doubles . .

Casper lost overnight in Acapulco- not sure his head is quite in the game at the moment.

Stef lost to Humbert yesterday in Dubai. I thought things were improving- slightly- with a QF showing in Qatar, but he is just slipping futher .

Apparently Sascha Zverev's daughter was watching his match in Acapulco- so that's nice (he won).

Not going great for Jack and he put his top on backwards

Not keen on the shaved head. He needs to break back quickly.

What on earth is Jack wearing? Is he heading to the beach?

'Big scalp'

I think that was Jack's barber.

Maybe nits are a probelm in the men's locker rooms? So many are shaving their heads?

They should get sponsoring from Hedrin.

Ah well. Good to have him back anyway.

Yeah the shaved head is not his look. But it will grow. Well done Arthur, unbelievable serving.

Daniil beat Stan- one more tournament ticked off the retirement tour.
Talking of retirements- Arthur's cousin Valentin is playing Monfils in Acapulco - be interesting to see how that goes.

ADF is playing Bellucci- I really want ADF to win something.

Hedrin

I saw a bit of Jack’s match - it was an interesting outfit choice - he had his cap on so I couldn’t see the full horror of his hair
