Anyone for tennis?
Jack Draper doing pretty well & heading for a quarter final spot.

Let's have a mention for Draper. Into the semi final , that's some achievement is it not?

How do you get to a semi and still not dropping a set , without being a serious contender to win it

He's always got a chance.
Either Medvedev or Sinner will a big game for him to win.
But that's what he's there for. :D

First set Jack's lost in the tournament.
Shame really. He'd fought back to lead & had a chance.

Don’t need excuses it’s just the truth. Failed a test should be banned. All his colleagues agree.

Draper hanging on really, looks under pressure when the rallies extend, is double faulting for fun and is losing his racquet grip often.

Not a fan of Sinner. He looks like he could be auditioning for Trainspotting 3. Just his general demeanour not his recent escapades. Probably a tad unfair :lol: . He is certainly someone Andy Murray would have crushed in his prime let alone the other three.

Draper doing ok despite his struggles, but probably too big a learning curve today.

Can't see a way back for Draper now, he did well to get that set to a tie break.

Made a tough ask even harder.
Sinner's just to good so far, tonight. Winning the big points.

Conditions look tough, very humid. Next match should be a cracker.
