They're all during the night for me so I will PVR everything. That way I can fast-forward through the boring matches. :lol: Actually for some reason (rain delay maybe?) they showed last year's final today and it was so nice to see Andy play again.

[goldfish]

I enjoyed Andy's match again too - feels like years since he last played. It's a dual tournament i.e. ATP and WTA so the match was just filling a gap when the women's matches were being played.

I watched most of the Rafa v Pouille match on TennisTV catch up last night, it was a cracker! Kyle v Zverev, not so much of a cracker

[RoastLamb]

The Rafa match was very entertaining. Lucas played sooooo well; he must be gutted.

[patlowe]

I wish the Goffin/Schwartzman SF in Tokyo tomorrow was the final! I like both of those players. Pity one of them won't get to the final.

[Alis]

A great match between Rafa and Grigor. Does anyone else think that Rafa is looking thinner and less muscled?

BEIJING FINAL: Nadal v Kyrgios

Kyrgios is so talented and when he decides to play he can be amazing. Poor Zverev didn't play badly today but he just had no answers. I'm really looking forward to the Rafa v Nick match tomorrow.

[Linda]

Should be a great match :thumbup: but I am going out to lunch so will miss it :crying:

[RoastLamb]

:lol: My husband bet against me that Nick would win. $20 is mine!

Goffin takes the 500 in Tokyo and moves into 7th in the race, with him down to play the next 4 weeks looking more like he will be starting in London in November

[roytennisfan]

Sorry Rafa, definitely cheering for Nick today. Hoping Nick hits form to make up the 600 points he is off the 8th London place, can reduce that by 200 today and he is drawn in Cilic's quarter in next weeks masters, so could make the semi and it would probably be Rafa again

[Alis]

I'm cheering for Nick today too. Although it's looking unlikely, I'd love to see him make it to London. He responds so well to the big stage.

[patlowe]

Nick for me too!! Come on Nicky!

[Sallydaisy]

Yay! Well done Goff.
Next up Rafa v Nick.
:help:

[JerryD]

So happy for Goff :) hopefully he's on his way to London! Now waiting for Raffa's match to start! Cheering for Raffa :)

[themass15]

So pleased for Goffin. Hope he can make London now. I am rooting for Rafa in this one; cracking start to the match.

[roytennisfan]

Nick not doing himself justice, can play much better, just managed to save the Bagel at 2-6 0-5

[roytennisfan]

Well done Rafa

[JAMES4578]

So disappointing that Kygrios didn't really perform after the initial stages,Nadal strong though.

[Alis]

I had been so looking forward to this match but what a disappointment. Nick played so well yesterday but was a shadow of himself today. He just couldn't get his head into gear - such a pity.

[karanga]

Well done Rafa. :cheer: :cheer:

[JerryD]

I was hoping for a Raffa win but would have liked to see more from nick. Congrats to Raffa anyway
