2024 In Between Grand Slam Thread

And it looks like his body let him down again...fought back to win second set...then retired 0-4 down in last set.

Better news for de minaurs others half into the semis in San Diego beating some decent opponents along the way.

Katie Boulter in final tonight in San Diego, a win would take her inside the top 30 pretty impressive stuff!

Edit she won in 3 sets, up to 27 in WTA rankings.

Raducanu comes through pretty comfortably in the end against Masarova. Some lovely stuff but I can't see her going much further unless she is at least somewhat consistent, she is so erratic and that serve is all over the place.

What went on on the Alcaraz Arnaldi match? Arnalid took the first set before being bagelled and breadsticked.

Saudi Arabia going to buy tennis now.

Be interesting to see how the female players in particular react to this.

I watched her match (Navarro) against Katie Boulter in San Diego recently and she was absolutely bloody dreadful, so that is a surprise win!

Maybe she is just very hot or cold.

Would agree on Sabalenka, can't stand the screeching, it was horrible in the Raducanu match (which was surprisingly tight).

If they plan to merge the ATP and WTA tours I'd imagine the women would be all over that, it'll probably even get framed as a win for gender equality.

What an absolutely brilliant match. Some of the points are unbelievable!! The two guys look like they're having such fun, which just makes it all the better to watch. The athleticism of both is off the scale!

If you aren't watching live (and the 3 hour rain delay means most over here won't have been), do yourself a favour and watch it back.

Turning into quite the classic.

If you have Sky you should be able to watch it on catch up.

Alcaraz on a bit of a rampage now...

Aryna Sabalenka's boyfriend has died.

Awful news for her with her father having died only a few years ago aswell.

Murray level now against Berrettini, who almost fainted at one stage in second set!

As usual he gives 110 percent, has taken first set against Etcheverry.

Draper playing some really lovely stuff against Jarry and up a break in the third set.

I am same ha.

Murray through played well.

This Draper match is tight!

I saw a bit of the first set in Murray v Machac, Murray playing very well, should really have won it more comfortably. Back on court now 1-2 in second set hopefully break doesn't upset his rhythm.

Sinner lost first set against Griekspoor before play suspended.

Murray not going quietly......

He really had Machac on the ropes until that ankle injury right when he got back to 5-5. Machac seemed to get renewed confidence facing a wounded Murray and he won the last 4 points of the tie break very well. It really is an emotional rollercoaster when you're cheering on Murray 🤣

Amazing he managed to play on if that's what he's done to it!!

The two men's semi's in Miami - Sinner blew Medvedev out of the water, didn't make great viewing, but wow, Zverev vs Dimitrov was terrific - Dimitrov playing next level tennis - if he continues at this level the final should be interesting!

Wawrinka gets an hour on court in Monte Carlo where he won his only 1000 event. Is that goodbye I wonder?
