I am really enjoying the Laver Cup. What a great group of players. I do like team tennis.

Super tournament is this. Sorry to see Rafa’s wrist is bothering him. Great to see all these big names together.

Three days of great tennis ending with a nail biting final match. I thought the friendship between all the players was lovely. And Federer and Nadal nattering away very funny.
What a wonderful tournament this is.

From what I was reading Federer was quite a potty mouth when giving Zverev advice...who'd have thought it.

Rafael Nadal has married his partner of 14 years, Mery Perello, at a castle in Mallorca on Saturday. Congratulations to them both.

That castle was the glorious location they used in The Night Manager for Hugh Laurie's residence. It looked absolutely marvellous in that show, I thought.

Just heard on the news that Andy won his match against Stan Wawrinka to win the title, his first since his surgery.

I am watching the Next Gen finals but find the cut-down scoring makes everything seemed so rushed. I am still getting used to the shot clock! I wonder what will be next.....no breaks between games? 🙀🙀
