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

Hope so too.

Oi, Mrs.

BELIEVE

Just running through Rafa's credentials.

Nothing like making his opponent feel good.

MrsV- yes, that was a bit

Here we go.

(that was in reference to the de-railing btw).

Here we go!

Was a bit. Rafa looked embarrassed.

Oh ! Could apply to both.

I'm bored of hearing that ONLY Rafa can defeat Novak & vice versa.

We don't farkin know till the matches are played & won, do we ?

This will only take Rafa straight sets I hope.

Cleverly did an online shop but its arriving between 5 & 6.

Anything can happen on the day. On form, Djok should have won it last year, and he didn't.

Looks like its just me & you this afternoon.

You'll need to start a new thread I reckon.

I'm hoping for quick.

Ooh, we have filled this one up nearly. Though it has taken two weeks. Not like the infamous 'threads in a day' Wimbledon threads

Yy.

Well, Sock has taken the first set easily.

Ferrer already playing against Bolelli- I hoped that would be later.

Lovely.

RG only begun last week.

The Wimby ones were special. It was Men's Quarter Finals, then the Semis. Good times.

Bet we could fill a thread on Mens Quarters this year, depending on whose still playing.

Excellent shot.

But i think I said I wanted 'quick'

Go Sock !

Haven't seen Ferrer play at all yet. Maybe next week.

I know , but I started the thread a week early, for a bit of waffling. Which we are all so good at

WTF is Rafa playing at?

Making hard work of this.

Rafa does seem to have gotten better at attacking in the first set.

Unless he just does that at Wimby !

VAMOS

I keep missing David too- I'm thinking the best chance of seeing him will be if he ends up playing Murray.

Ah, I see. Real life gets in the way of me waffling !

Although Jeremy Chardy might surprise us
