Ive decided I dont like these new twelve day masters formats - the action is too spread and the build up too slow. Too little tennis over a three week period for my liking. Not a fan so far

It does seem to have been going on for a long time with little action

I was looking forward to watching Dan this morning, but there is rain in Rome

Madrid and Rome, the tournaments with zero action over three weeks - how to turn the fans off!

But not for long

All up and running

Yes indeed! Going with serve so far, Dan leads 2-1. The slow and damp conditions won't help Dan. Still loads of umbrellas in the crowd.

The guy who invented the umbrella was originally going to call it a brella, then he hesitated...

Dan played an excellent return game, slightly helped by RCB's errors when at deuse. Dan leads 3-1
