TENNIS Thread! The French Open is coming- will it be #RG10 for Rafa?

[Raahh]

or number 1 for Djokovic?

given recent form, things look less than great for Nadal-but he likes the big stage and slams are a different beast to other tournaments.

So- new thread to talk ( mostly) about tennis- though it's not compulsory., and we all have different favourites and respect that others might not love our favourites as much as we do.

so...a week to go. May Murray be less tired, Rafa more confident , and a happy tournament be had by all.

Vamos

Talking of shorts- did you all see Nishioka yesterday?

shorts

Borrowed from a golfing buddy, I think.

Funny isn't it- I never minded McEnroe being a brat, but find it unsporting and rude from Murray. I too love Gulbis and his miserable face but Jerzy Janowicz is definitely the wrong side of arrogance/confidence line, for example. Did you see the altercation he had with his opponent at the net yesterday- not sure what went on.

Come on Jarkko, make him serve for the match.

match point.

Heard about it Raahh but didn't see it. Not helpful sorry.

Those are swimming shorts, aren't they ?! That would be banned in a pool.

Game ! Great play !

This bloomin' Stella advert. Grrrrr.

Robinsons is Wimby. Not Stella.

Poor pigeon chasing birdie being used like that.

Ahhh, that was nice.

Ooooooh.

Ahhhhhhhhh.

Game set match Novak.

Good match.

Juan had it. Score line not reflecting play.

Hmm. Serena. Yay or nay ?

Ooh, Novak you are spoiling us with your French.

Keep up Fabrice !

I don't want to watch Serena.

ooh, get Novak with his perfect French

His top is very orange.

Ahh, where's little Stefan?

Do you think we will see all 4 of Roger's dcs at RG? In matching outfits?

I don't particularly, Raahh but its tennis, to a degree.

You would have thought Novak would have chosen a better neon on an orange court, wouldn't you ?

Pink or green maybe ?

Well that was a very jolly interview :) Jelena has a lovely smile n'est ce pas? See < not only Djok who can do Le French.

The DCs only get trotted out on Finals day.

Expect Stefan is with his Nanny at the 'otel or the 'ouse.

^
That's my Le French.

C'est tres bon, non ?

Jelena looks very well.

Mais oui, c'est magnificent

Bouchard is OUT.

Blimey.

Merci, Juan.

Methinks you is telling porkies.

@ 'otel and 'ouse

I need to catch up with Doctors . I will take the opportunity whilst Serena is playing to do that, and hope it is over in 30 minutes and they switch to something else.

Ha Fabrice has never been in the women's locker room. So he says. With a twinkle in his eye :)

Porkies, moi? Certainment non.
