TENNIS - Asian Swing

[JaneJeffer]

Sorry for boring title

They’re already plotting to abandon this match if it goes on too long

Vamos!
We have a final.
Of course, it's going off now, for the Sonay match.

Amazing turnaround from ADF! Not sure who’s winning this now, Rafa still feels like a narrow favourite.

I'm back- and as suspected the Sonay match has replaced ADF/Rafa. I do want to watch Sonay, but would like to see who wins this match first.
ADF seemed to start quite well in the 3rd, they appear to be trading breaks now.

ADF looks like he could do this, I think physically Rafa is flagging a bit.

Amazing win if ADF wins- no titles for years, then he wins 3. .

(But he's not there yet).

Oh- he's landed on his ankle awkwardly?

What is it with Shanghai?

Last year ended up with Rinderknech falling off the the stage because he cramped up so badly.

Sonay is 4-1 up in her match.

Which is a great start.

Rafa is really struggling now.

He is , I think everything is catching up with him. He's suffering.

ADF has a lot of experience n these situations. And for once, he's not blowing. his chances.

-speaks too soon--

Vamos! So happy for him.

VAMOS!!

What a year. Fantastic.

Rafa will get there.

Vamos ADF! I didn’t get to see the final set grr

I hope Rafa’s ankle is ok, he was clearly struggling to move at the end. He has a great chance of making Turin now, would be a shame if he couldn’t play.

Mariano Puerta did him a favour

Sonay is flying

He did land on it very awkwardly, and he is a tall bloke.

I don't think he's playing until Basel, so has a week off to rest it.

She really is- I'm trying to flip between the two. Will one of the results of the season if she wins this.

Trainer for Kartal?

This game is a bit tense. I think Sonay is feeling the pressure.

Long set- started well for Sonay, but the momemtum is with Maja now.

I need to do the ironing.

The commentators seem to have run out of things to say. Colin is just rambling away and talking about Jo Konta.

I wish they would stop showing those overhead camera shots of points, I can’t see the ball!

Slipping away now.
