After 60 min of erudite commentary, this bear concludes there is no one else whatsoever in the den and retires with hurt head wrapped in vinegar and brown paper.

Joker serves out 2nd game to eventually win under pressure like there’s money involved and he’s actually a professional.

Raonic serves first game third set. Pouts like +1 wont let him take teddy bear to black tie dinner. Considers what life might be like after losing both girlfriend and match.

But then wins set. Raonic wonders if Mr Whippy still offers nuts & chocolate on soft serves.

Joker serves for the set. Burns a challenge for fun but is actually correct.

Hawke-eye messes with Raonic’s mind. Challenge lost as revealed by insensitive 1mm shadow gap computer animation.

Joker let’s a Raonic passing shot go thru. Not sure why. Suspect just messing with Sportsbet odds.

Raonic manicures his nails on the cat gut. Waits for the end of days.

Raonic loses service game. Cries a little. Joker leans in for kill. It’s now 4:1 second set

Art imitates life and McEnroe notes on live TV an obvious emotion of the receiver. Hewitt explains what’s actually going on.

Raonic wears 80’s pastels tonight. Mum put them at the end of his bed - again (mum still dances slow to Spandau Ballet). Before walking out, Joker does his business housekeeping and invoices Seiko and Lacoste. BCC’s his CFO.

Raonic loses first set. 6:4 ..mostly because he looks like the guy that’s showed up for Sat morning club comp after a big night on booze and beadies because he’s the only committee guy with keys to the canteen and toilets.
