TENNIS: all to clay for

[JaneJeffer]

sorry

Spider cam = Andy in my brain

That's always my first thought when they get mentioned.

Jannik is going to come back now, isn't he?
Which would be a shame. I would like this to go to 3 sets.

I hope Daniil hangs in there. Jannik is playing a dangerous game getting the crowd riled up because that’s what Daniil thrives on.

No that wasn’t a lovely picture Naomi. It was weird!

Damn.

Come on Daniil!

Yes, Naomi, we've seen Jannik struggle before.

They are questioning Jannik's illnesses- they took a long time to do that with Djok.

Come on Daniil!

That shot

Yay! Come on Daniil!

We have seen this before though. Jannik still pulls through. He's got a carrier bag of tricks.

Daniil always looks knackered, so it's hard to judge .

Selfishly, I think Casper may have a better chance against Daniil. . (Though I like them both-I would like Casper to win this).

Set 3 will go Jannik's way now, won't it?

Ahh well, Daniil managed to make it a match for a while.

Ooh trainer is out. Meanwhile Daniil is chatting away in French

Naomi is definitely not Jannik’s number one fan

Jannik has the physio out?
(I went off to do womething else for a bit).

Jamie stop being so honest in commentary or you’ll get fired!

Honestly, I do like Jannik.

But - this happens so often. And even Jamie said earlier it's odd for a number one player (that include Djok, Jamie?).

Yes Daniil was questioning whether he has cramp or an injury

I am only score watching at the moment, what did he say?!

Ahh, now I think he may have been a bit guilty of this before- because the whole cramp/injury thing is a grey area- and some get away with it by calling it other things.

Looks like Jannik may be saved by the rain anyway.

He was talking about players with cramp calling the physio even though they’re not supposed to and how lots of them do it and everyone knows it’s going on, the players and the physio. He didn’t pretend to believe Jannik is injured

Would it not suit Daniil better if Jannik starts to cool down because he might cramp up more?

I love Jamie on commentary. He’s so suspicious of Aurelie not stopping

Earlier on, I got the feeling Jamie was finding all of Jannik's frequent aliments a bit odd.
