    Haha yep!!  Weirdly jarring for some reason, I guess you just don't see it that often pm sportswomen.

    Quite a ladies semifinal going on.
    One set all now, really rooting for Jabeur after watching her in Break Point.

    All the momentum with Jabeur now, 5 games in a row!

    So, looks like Alcaraz is going to be the one to lose to Djokovic in the final!

    Straight forward for both top seeds in the semi final… let’s hope for a battle in the final.

    Crazy opening set in the final, Jabeur was 4-2 up and to be honest it could easily have been 6-0, then a couple of poor games and Vondrousova is serving for the set at 5-4.

    First set Vondrousova, 6-4.

    Vondrousova wins 6-4, 6-4.

    Jabeur looked very nervy all match.

    Jauber started off very well but couldn't handle it when things went wrong, while Vondrousova got more confident and better the longer the match went on.

    just didn't turn up .. the slowness of Vond's shots meant Jabeur possibly had too much time to think and not just react to pace as seems to suit her game much more .. surprise winner but women's tennis is almost impossible to predict nowadays

    Djokovic's odds at the start of the tournament were 1.53. His odds at the start of the final are 1.53.

    Not sure how much more of this I want to bother watching.

    Djokovic leads 5-0 in the first set.

    Henry Searle has just won the boys title, first winner since Stanley Matthews Jnr (1962)

    Switched over after the golf. Spent ten minutes basically watching Djokovic bouncing the ball pre serving.  Driving me nuts. Off out to the garden.

    Don't get why Djokovic gets so uppity about the crowd not backing him.  Even if he wasn't a massive bellend, the crowd just cheer for the underdog pretty often?

    Have to have a ridiculous ego not to see that and think they should favour you every game.

    Possibly answered my own question there.

    Popped back in. Added Alcaraz’s grunting to the list of irritations. Off out again.

    Yep reverting to type. He will feign an injury next.
