Back in action, possibly still with breaks. To keep things manageable, I'm no longer going to post losses below Tour level or routine early round ITF 25/15 wins except big upset/career best wins and other wins or losses that seem particularly significant, if I notice them. (1/2).

BBC News go with Emma not playing the Olympics and Andy possibly retiring there and completely ignore the fact that two British players won main tour singles titles today. Prioritising the bad tennis news and ignoring the good as usual :-(.

Congrats to @andy_murray, Dan Evans and @cam_norrie - this is the first time 3 Brits have made the last 16 at *any* ATP Masters event and no nation will have more players in the last 16 in Madrid than GB* - on clay in Spain too! ¿Qué pasa? :-).* ESP or SRB could still get 3 too.

Congratulations to @cam_norrie, Dan Evans, @jackdraper0 & @andy_murray for jointly setting a *new British record* in Madrid - the highest number of Brits (4) to win at least one singles main draw match in a single ATP Masters 1000 event on clay!.

RBA has won Doha so @andy_murray has now gone out to the eventual champion in 4 of his last 5 ATP main tour (non-slam) events - Stockholm (Paul), Sydney (Karatsev), Rotterdam (FAA) and Doha (RBA) - it takes a very good, in-form player to beat him!.

This is the first time @andy_murray has made the last 32 at Indian Wells since 2016 and, since he was world no. 2 that year and had a bye in R1, the first time he has won back-to-back matches in the Californian desert since he made the semi-finals (L to (1) Djokovic) in 2015.

Congratulations to @EmmaRaducanu who, as expected, breaks into the WTA singles top 200 with room to spare following her exploits at Wimbledon - she rises 159 places to 179, bypassing the 200s altogether, and is now the GB no. 4 :-).

In recent years, @andy_murray, @cam_norrie, Dan Evans & @kyle8edmund have been in the top 100 but never all 4 at once, so with @jackdraper0 joining the first three today, this may well be the first time 4 Brits have been in the ATP singles top 100 simultaneously since 1979! :-).

That's @Liambroady's 16th win against a top 100 player, 7th in the last 9 months and second in as many days! Goffin kept putting him under pressure but Liam kept his nerve and kept going for it when it mattered most - a performance to be really proud of! :-).

With today's win, @jackdraper0, 20, becomes the youngest British player ever to win three ATP Challenger singles titles, ahead of @kyle8edmund, who was a few months older when he won his 3rd, and @andy_murray who moved on to ATP titles after winning two Challenger titles aged 18.

Nice video, but the WTA doesn't give @HeatherWatson92 enough credit - it's her 14th win since Wimbledon! Even if they don't count her 5 WTA/slam qualifying wins, WTA 125 win or 6 ITF W60 wins, I'm surprised they don't treat her win at the BJK Cup finals as a win at tour level.

If he got the positive result on the evening of the 16th and was still attending events (at all, let alone maskless) in the couple of days after that, that seems like very strong evidence that he's a reckless danger to health - are his fans still going to support him now?.

I know it didn't work out as he, @LeonSmith or we GB fans would have wished, but kudos to @jackdraper0 for making such a big effort - many players have opted out after a deep run at a slam & he was the only one of the US Open semi-finalists who played for his country this week.

An even more impressive win for @katiecboulter than last year, when she didn’t face a top 100 player. This week, she had to beat 3 top 100 players (including a former world no. 1), a former top 40 player and the 2021 US Open champion, not to mention 4 out of 5 sets on finals day!.

Fascinating stats from @AnnaK_4ever. I hadn't realised that @andy_murray is the *only* male player in the Open Era who has managed to follow-up his first slam singles title (2012 USO) by making the final of the next slam (2013 AO), though I knew the rest of the big 4 hadn't (1/2).

Potentially ambiguous tweets are always dangerous but I did read Judy's as sarcastic, not as a dig at Emma. A much bigger problem imo is people too quick to assume the worst possible interpretation as an excuse to pile in on Judy or Emma, maybe based on existing prejudices. (1/2).

Trophies (and hairstyles) over the years. Thank you to @andy_murray for giving us so many great moments - and not a few grey hairs ;-).We may have seen the end of his pro career but there's no chance we've seen the end of his influence on tennis, and British tennis in particular.
