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

[MrsVamos]

New thread with BALLS.

When MNHQ remember their promise.

Don't really like Raonic, possibly he is just in the zone of it all but he's always quite sharp with the ballboys and gals... Almost snapping his fingers for a towel or ball :( I know its prob because he's concentrating on his game but.... I'm on team Djok for this one.... And Boris, well, what can I say? Clearly I would favour his side :)

First set to Ernie.

Raonic has thrown that set away at the end.

I think it's less Gulbis being a sexist and more him being controversial. Today he's been saying his secret is a gluten FULL diet - Ernie being contrary. And, just at the moment, it doesn't look as if you're going to get your wish.

Raonic has definitely got Djok running about- showing off his bendy ankles

Well, I was hoping Ernie would do well- but didn't expect this scoreline. Not watching, though, it could be closer than the scores show.

Well, I'm pretty impressed by Raonic so far, he's not likely to win, but he's not given Djok much.

Gulbis is playing great but not sure berdych has really turned up.

Oh dear!

Just had a surprise visit from a couple of friends bringing pressies and cards. I've got a beautiful orchid which I guarantee I'll kill within a week some beautiful pottery, perfume, a couple of bottles of champagne and a promise of a weekend in New York at some date yet to be arranged. So I'm feeling very spoiled & happy

Djok has Raonic on the ropes now. Gullible going very well, also two sets up.

We have missed Rafa's cake

The commentators keep going on about the King of Spain abdicating, as though that is some omen to suggest Rafa will lose.

Idiots.

Drama- your presents sound fabulous

And after all that, it looks like both matches will end at the same time!

Well- Gulbis has it. Got to say, i expected it to be harder.

And I nay be a bit premature with the Raonic/Djok match...

Well that was all rather an anti climax

It was- what's the betting tomorrow's matches will be 5 set epics both on at the SAME BLOODY TIME

Is it just me or has the whole tournament been a bit lacklustre? Actually, there were some interesting matches in the first week (Bagnis for eg) but none of these latter stage matches have lived up to billing. Maybe it is just me and it's cos I'm missing Pot :(

:) at Pioline telling Ernie he mustn't go out tonight and must stay focused.

The weekend matches were good, but most of the first week was kind of flat. Biggest excitement was Wawrinka going out.

It's hard when your favourite player goes our early, or doesn't play. I did stop following stuff so much during Nadal's injury lay-off, and Wimbledon lost it's shine. But there was enough to keep me interested.

Really bad scheduling, gonna have Eurosport on the iPad and itv on the tv
I kinda agree Juan, certainly today's matches didn't am hoping tomorrow's will be great. Seems to be lacking tension really, so far even fed didn't really fight and djokovic, Murray, nadal etc haven't really been as tested as they might've expected

Murray might argue with that Mama- Kohlshreiber came pretty close to knocking him out!

Oops Forgot about that didn't see that match. Maybe it's just my scheduling lol!

Ferrer/Nadal match should be a close one.

slightly off-topic but anyone old enough to remember a group from the 60's called The Seekers? they were on a n old TOTP thing last night and I thought the female lead singer looked just like Mrs Federer!

I keeping getting home just as the matches finish. It's really not the same looking at the slam tracker or whatever it's called. Here's hoping for some 5 setters!!

The Seekers just makes me think of the new advert for the Sun , because it features a cover of 'I know I'll never find another you' . it doesn't sound quite right sung in a different key, by a bloke
