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

[MrsVamos]

New thread with BALLS.

When MNHQ remember their promise.

Just realised this was on now. Got my time zones mixed up.

Vamos

Suddenly it's not looking good. Vamos!!

No it isn't looking good.

Vamos

It's looking even worse now

VAMOS Rafa!!

Oh dear.

Vamos you lemon

Rafa has two break points!!

Vamos!!

Yes!!!

Back to 3-3 now.

Vamos, limon!

Yes!!

He's broken back. Vamos

Vamos!!

Although he doesn't appear to be too bothered about holding his next service game.

Oh no

Oh rafa, what are you doing?

I suppose Rafa can take some positives from this match in that at least he played much, much better than he's done throughout the clay court season so far.

If his form keeps improving, hopefully he'll be OK at RG. Fingers very firmly crossed for him.

Vamos!!

Fingers crossed. He's only got a week to get it together though.

I had to go out. Am

Vamos Rafa!- you will win at RG!

He will hold onto his number 1 spot for the French at least.

He needs to get back to 'not dropping a set all tournament' form and sharpish! (better for the nerves).

I was very impressed with Rafa's command of the Italian language

He didn't look too miserable at the presentation. I'm sure he knows he actually played a good match. Just was beaten by a player in terrific form on the day.

It's no bad thing to lose to Djok, I suppose. It's payback for Rafa taking all his hardcourt titles last Autumn Rafa reached another final, despite not being on his best form- mentally, if not physically.

a week left til the return of the balls.

MNHQ- please don't forget.

Evening all. Anyone talking to me? :). I'm sorry, I do like Rafa, I just like Djok more. Beautiful day we've had (weather wise).

got sky planner ready for next sunday! on ITV and Eurosport.

I'm still talking to you, Juan, just keep the knitting needles out of the way

We had a beautiful day yesterday, but it's been wet today.

I'll sit on the needles Drama! It's been warm and sunny here, not knitting weather!

Djok was awesome today. I don't warm to him mainly because I don't like his hair but I have to admire his tennis.

You need to knit us some tennis balls, Juan. Just in case MNHQ forget.

Maybe we need a reminder 'Can we have our tennis balls back, please? You promised!' thread in Site Stuff, then MNHQ will definitely see it.
