Righto, Tumaini Carayol’s report is with us:

And that means we’re finished here. Thanks all for your company over the last two weeks, it’s been a blast, and we’ll see you again for Roland-Garros; it feels a way away, but we’ll be there sooner than you imagine, I promise.

In the meantime, though, we’ve a day of football for you:

But otherwise, I’m afraid it’s over so, while we frantically ponder what we might do tomorrow, we can console ourselves with the thought that, though we don’t get to be Carlos Alcaraz, Carlos Alcaraz does, and no one deserves that more than him. Thanks again, and peace out.
