I see that Michael Venus will be playing alongside his compatriot, Marcus Daniell, here (with a PR).  Anyone know whether he & Jamie M have parted company?

Billy, going by his Instagram, appears to be training at this tournament.

 Tennis commentator Abigail Johnson posted on Instagram of him hitting with Nadal.

A match with few breakpoints for the first set and a half suddenly produced a cluster late on in the second. Grigor broke twice, Andy rebroke once and had a couple of chances to reach the tiebreak, but Grigor held second time to take the set 7-5

Andy lost the first 4 games of the decider, and though he created a breakpoint in Grigor's final service game the damage had been done, so Andy loses 4-6 7-5 6-2

Andy played well for a set and a half and had chances.

What was going on with all those strings broken? Stringer will have questions to answer

Im going to go out on a limb and say Grigor Dimitrov will win a Masters 1000 this season and reach the final of a slam. Dont expect he will win a slam but looking at a big performance or two from him. And get back into the top 10.

Maybe the AO and IW, Miami for one of those highlight performances.

Once again a singles player cant be @rsed to complete a doubles event, and yet the authorities never seem to do anything even though it turns events into a farce.

 A lot of withdrawals across mens and womens from the doubles today, largely singles players pulling out. I wish there was some approach to stop this happening. Maybe a three strikes and your out process, regardless of reason, stopping singles players entering doubles if they consistently pull out.
