[Raahh]

New thread for tennis fans, with or without the ability to watch on tv. Or even live and in person

(When should we start pestering for our back?)

And he's 2-0 down in the second

WTF is Rafa up to? Do I have to shout again?

Seriously, he was brilliant for the most part last week- is the clay different in Rome?

Vamos!! FFS.

Well he pulled back to 2-2 and is now break point down, aargh!

Definitely shout again Raahh

Maybe he likes being told he's playing like a lemon. Vamos

Mama Dd is back in Queenstown in NZ. She went to Auckland with the friend she originally set out from here with. Friend flew on to Oz, dd spent few days there before going back to Queenstown. She really loves it there.

What's lemon in Spanish? New war cry needs to be Vamos Lemon. Sounds pretty good I think. :)

Well, Gregor lost the first set, and has come out fighting in the second.

Vamos and erm, whatever it is in Bulgarian....

It's Limon, I think.

Vamos Limon

That's better, second set to rafa 6-2.

That seems to have worked. He's 2-0 up in the 3rd.

Vamos Limon

Vamos Limon

Now- this is better. Vamos!

Yay! 6-1 in the third, that's more like it!

Much better!

Now Come on Gregor!

(and Ferrer, but he's only just started).

I'm glad Ferrer isn't making heavy weather of this.

Vamos!

(maybe he doesn't want to be likened to a fruit)

Si, Ferrer no es un limon.

Nadal is developing a thing about losing the first set. I would rather he stopped before it becomes a habit.

It is an unfortunate habit. A bloody annoying one. Limon!

I like this trend of using citrus fruit as a means of insult. :)

I heard some disturbing news yesterday. Apparently the listening figures for Smooth Radio have increased by 120,000 over the last three months. You know what happened three months ago, don't you ...?

I'm cheering Nadal today. Vamos Limon.

That's a lot of people with a dubious taste in radio DJs, Juan

Vamos, Limon

This thread is going to be totally incomprehensible by the time the Wimbledon lot come back. What with it's lemons and potatoes.

By the time we get to Wimbledon we'll be on a new thread, the rate we are all blethering on here!

Posted too soon _

And I shall be acting in a refined, adult manner - comme toujours!

Mornin all, suns a shinin and I got about 6 hours sleep last night- it's a honest to goodness miracle! I feel like a new woman.

Speaking of potato any news about when he'll be back yet?
Think the matches should all be good today.
Vamos limon!

Dimitrov has started well.

I am hoping Rafa does the same later. Can't cope with him getting beaten by Murray! (which won't happen)
