BALLS PLEASE ! ROLAND GARROS, WIMBY, ETC....

[MrsVamos]

New thread with BALLS.

When MNHQ remember their promise.

If you truly loved Pot, Pesky you'd bugger off to a nunnery & watch no tennis at all until he was back.

And ditto - great to have a new thread, Mrs V

Well what good would that do him? He needs someone who's representative of his fan base to keep him apprised of all developments - hence the need to keep my eyes on the game, my ears to the ground and my nose to the grindstone (we won't mention what he needs me to do with other parts of the body - there are young women reading this). And I am not just representative of his fan base I am, um, I am - well, I am someone very important in his life.

Next time we start a new thread I will do it. And I will name it so that you will never know what became of us all. And then you'll wish you'd been nicer to me . Shouldn't you be in bed anyway - you need all the beauty sleep you can get at your age :)

1st set to Raonic. Wasn't really expecting that.

oh- could an upset be on the cards?

Mind you- the way things are going, it could be a Raonic/Dimitrov final

That would be unexpected.

Raonic is definitely giving Djok a run for his money.

I can't see the match but it looks quite closely matched from the scores.

This might be nearing the end though, unless there is a final push by Raonic.

He seems to have thrown it away.

It's not on Sky Sports.... Are they showing it later? - tennis is on sky sports 2 at 7pm...

Phew, had to go out and as I left it was first set tiebreak. Seems like second set was hard fought too.

MrsMc, I don't have Sky, sorry, so can't help.

nearly time for another tennis nn. although Martina is sufficient, got a good one for RG.

wish HQ would either bring back the balls or have a tennis racquet emoticon, they managed a bike one!

They're lending us some balls for RG apparently. Interested to see your new nn :). Grigor and Rafa warming up.

Well, Rafa has a break, so that's good. I do not want a repeat of last night. Save that for tomorrow- although Djok not having things all his own way either.

I don't think any of us want a repeat of last night.

A break up is a good start.

I've just been reading that Bartoli is going to be part of the ITV presenting team with John Inverdale for RG. It's very gracious of her- I'd have to slap the sexist idiot.

So far so good

First set to Nadal 6-2.

Vamos- that's more likely.

like it!

I like Grigor. I want Rafa to win I think but I want Grigor to show what he can do. Maybe Marion is planning to confront John live on air in front of millions! :)

Well that seemed easy.

I presume Bartoli slapping Inverdale is part of the between match entertainment, juan.

I hope so. I really grew to like her last year- far more likeable than a dozen fake Shreikapovas. Who is her manager this week, anyway?

Rafa has a break in the 2nd set.

On a non-tennis note, the BBC has done something unspeakably bad to the iplayer website design, presumably as an improvement. The sort of improvement that deletes all my favourites and removes most of the functionality of the site. Still it looks nice.

hope Bartoli puts him in his place.
