Well, here we are again, another French Open. Yay ! Grin

It's a shame we wont see Murray, as he was playing very well, it would have been great to see the Top 5 'together' again.

No prizes for guessing who the favourite for the Mens is, VAMOS RAFA ! I'd love to see him win it for the 8th time.

Roger Fed is looking well, just started playing , it would be good to see him do well, although we all know Wimby is his best tournament.

Novak seemed to be struggling a bit earlier this year, after the Aussie Open win, it will be interesting to see how he fares this year on clay. Nicely set up so that he and Rafa will meet in the Semi's, should they both play well. Which easily leads to Rafa for the Final, and his 8th win ! Don't forget, Novak fans, that Rafa beat Nole in 4 sets last year. Wink

Serena Williams is looking her usual belting self, just thrashed her opponent, she must be a consideration for the win, as must last years winner, Maria Sharapova. I'd like to see Laura Robson do well, and Heather Watson, but realistically Laura could be out in the first round.

Hope everybody enjoys the tennis as much as I do, I'm going to have a great fortnight, 9:30am to 9:00pm everyday. Bliss !

Looking forward to having our usual daft threads running, along with the ogling and arguments. Here's to another great summer of tennis ! Wine

Watching, but its making me sleepy, the gentle voices and the rhythmic pop and ping of ball on cat gut! I do this all the time. I'm the same with the F1

purpleprincess · 09/06/2013 14:53

Sneaking in quickly- been trying to watch on my phone whilst cremating cooking dinner.

I fear this may be a shorter match than Thursday...

Chubfuddler · 09/06/2013 15:01

I'm sobglad it's not just me - I nearly fell asleep whilst watching Layton Hewitt at queens a few years back may have been the wine

Chubfuddler · 09/06/2013 15:24

Ferrer is holding up rather well really, all things considered.

amigababy · 09/06/2013 15:34

feeling a bit sniffy at the "it's a bit bonkers " comment re. the water bottles

Chubfuddler · 09/06/2013 15:36

I like nadal's haughty refusal to carry on whilst the protestors were causing a scene.

Raahh · 09/06/2013 15:47

I hate protesters at things like this. Idiots.

Vamos!

GlaikitFizzog · 09/06/2013 15:52

huh, whadidimiss? Was there nakedness?

IreneR · 09/06/2013 16:00

Was that just hijinks or an actual protest of some sort?!

Chubfuddler · 09/06/2013 16:04

Actual protest. Now it's raining.

I do have sympathy with protest but it's desperately unfair to sportsmen who have worked at this for months.

FarleyD · 09/06/2013 16:06

I'm watching too. Commentators are talking more bollocks than usual, anyone hear the comment about Nadal's forehand seeing off the martians?!

FarleyD · 09/06/2013 16:07

What were they protesting about? Children's rights or something?

GlaikitFizzog · 09/06/2013 16:08

Eurosport commentators are better.

FarleyD · 09/06/2013 16:12

I love and hate tournament finals - really enjoy watching them, but they always feel like the end of something, leaves me with a real grey feeling!

amigababy · 09/06/2013 16:14

Farley I get that at the end of Wimbledon so much

FarleyD · 09/06/2013 16:15

What?! His coach used to lock him in a cupboard for hours and feed him bread and water?!

FarleyD · 09/06/2013 16:15

Oh yes, me too amiga, feels like the end of the summer!

IreneR · 09/06/2013 16:17

I can't help but think that the match feels a lot closer than the score indicates.

When it is over, I have to go and sand more window trim. Please keep this going for a while, David....

FarleyD · 09/06/2013 16:20

I agree with that Irene (about score) But think Nadal might want you to get on with your sanding Sad

Witt · 09/06/2013 16:21

Are we going to start a Queens thread tomorrow?

FarleyD · 09/06/2013 16:26

Irene, think you better get your sandpaper out ..

Witt, I'll be watching Queens.

Raahh · 09/06/2013 16:30

VAMOS RAFA

OCHO!

YayyyyyyyyGrin

Raahh · 09/06/2013 16:33

But, as has been said- despite all that, he is still world number 5.

But he can go and have a well earned rest- and Wimbledon beckons!
