Hi everyone. Here's your new thread for commentating on today's matches.
Coming up today we have two ATP finals. In Rotterdam the world number one, Rafael Nadal, faces the world number four, Andy Murray. It's a hard life being world number one - it usually means that British commentators root even harder against you than they would have done with any of Andy Murray's other opponents. Later in the day Radek Stepanek will play Mardy Fish for the title in San Jose. After all the Roddick love shown on yesterday's Valentine's Day thread, I had been considering posting his photo today, had he made the final there. Alas, TW ladies will just have to make do with a picture of Thomaz Bellucci. He made his first ATP final this week, in Costa do Sauipe, Brazil, losing to Tommy Robredo, with a final score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-4.
On the WTA side Vera Zvonareva has already claimed the title in the Pattaya Open, over Sania Mirza. Later Amelie Mauresmo and Elena Dementieva will play the championship match in Paris.
As always, enjoy today's tennis.
