just seen this, I had to go out after the first set, looked like Norrie was on a roll.

According to a male friend, this years winners at the Madrid Open are the ball girls. How thoughtful of the designer to put them in such sensible hot weather outfits (eye roll)

Just found this. Hmmm... How come we've heard nowt about it before? That said, the report IS from The Sun, so maybe I haven't been reading the right papers! This what you mean , EP?

theyve always had female models as ball girls, ever since the event started. Not acceptable but it has always been the case, several years old news!

That particular snippet has been all over the TV news, not to mention the Beeb's web site, today! Again . Not what I'd call interesting news, but then, I really couldn't give a tinker's about Serena's personal life!

Zhang does it again v Fritz, 10-8 in the 3rd set tiebreak - speaks beautifully, and very happy, as he should be smile

It's so lovely to have Naomi back again in the commentary box too smile

Karatsev and Struff played in qualies - now they play again as a Q and LL in the semis!

Struff first ever lucky loser to reach a masters 1000 final! And beats the man he lost to in qualies

More issues arising out of the organisation of the tournament. Not exactly covering themselves with glory, are they? disbelief
