Well, that’s me for this evening. What a joy watching Alcaraz. And to think he’ll take on Rune in the quarterfinal. They’re both only 20-years-old. I hope the documentary makers are taking note. At the risk of jinxing them this could be a generational rivalry.
Anyhoo, I’m off to bed. I’ll leave you with Tumaini’s report.
I’m back again for the late shift tomorrow. See you then.

Take a look at this photo. Recognise these two youngsters? You’ll get to watch them play on Wednesday.
