Bye bye clay. Hello grass.

[JuanPotatoTwo]

New thread for next part of the season .

Now that senior doubles match is one I would like to have seen!

Right I'm home, ready for hopefully great tennis
Vamos rafa

No, I agree Murray had no say in the split with Lendl. Maybe he only ever committed to 2 years?

I'm a bit (irrationally) annoyed that he announced it today- i don't want to listen to Inverdale wittering about Murray again- today isn't about him.

Oh the 2013 semi- fabulous match.

Turned on telly and there he was - My One True Love....
Settling down for the game - finally a day where I have nothing to do at the same time as tennis on - except a business plan and a website to design and business cards and...... Forget it all - I am watching

I thought that raahh about the timing. He couldn't have waited until tomorrow?

Vamos Rafa!

I think the heat will be in Rafa's favour. Nice Majorcan temperatures.

Oh, what a surprise, the Mauresmo press conference

Before we kick off meet my new addition to the home.... Chester, our adopted-shifted from house to house-cat - now he has a forever home

Juan exactly.

Anyway - I am ready for this. Prt of me wants it over in 3- but i was disappointed last year, so 5 easy sets- my nerves are a bit fragile at the moment

I am ignoring all the Murray-Mossie talk - we'll hear nothing but that when Wimbles starts :)

I have the sad feeling today I always get at the end of tournaments. Mind, the end of Wimbledon is the worst (for me). I feel like the summer is over.

Aww Chester is sweet. Think you should have called him Boris though :) Wonder if dc would mind if I renamed our cat Juan?

awwww! three !

My lot are desperate for a pet. But, dh and ds are both very allergic to cats, we've no room for a dog, and although i love rabbits ,i don't think they are great pets for kids. My house rabbit was ace, but he chewed things

I have set my heart on guinea pigs. But the dcs are not as enamoured as me.

I want Djok to win anyway but would be esp nice for him this year with his baby on the way.

Once again Juan ds1 is firmly with you

The Queen's been in Roland Garros?

Raahh get a guinea pig - you know you want to :)
I have 4 cats - my poor Stig passed away 3 months ago, kids were so sad - now we have a Chester

I kind of feel so sad when Wimbles is over as well juan I do not mind this one ending because I know there is more to come shortly with Queens, Wimbles but then I am so sad :(

I hope this is going to take my breath away......
Why are the red arrows there??

Well at least there's two of us cheering him on Mama :) I sense that, as well as the crowd at RG, this thread is in favour of Rafa too! We will be lone voices in the wilderness.

He is wearing his Serbian headband

Raahh go for guinea pigs, I had them as a child they were very cute, easy and fairly friendly.
I have a dog, 3 cats, 3 lots of fish and a tortoise.........

Oh not Nick Mullins. Winds me up.

Another cheerleader for Rafa here, with your NN how can you not support him Juan

I come over all motherly and protective whenever I see Rafa, sad person that I am.

I hope it is a good match with no incidents like last year

Well, here we go .

Vamos Rafa!

I love tortoises mamma!!!!

I am going with Djok for this because he's the underdog :)

mama

emotions my nn is a tribute to Argentina's most handsome best tennis player, Del Potro or Potato as we have named him on here!
