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

Wow.

Vamos Rafa !

There is no way he can keep this up, even if he wins a set.

Good play.

Agree. Will crash & burn.

The crowd are getting ugly in the Gasquet match, then.

Sock has won. Well done Jack.

That can be his game this set then.

Rafa is starting to look like he means business now.

Bolelli serving for a 2 set lead.

I really wish we had Internet at home so I could join in properly. Just using phone data. Stupid BT hasn't put a phone line to our house yet. You'd think new build developers would have that sorted. If it's not done by Wimbledon time I might rampage.

K putting up somewhat of a fight but Nadal is just too good.

Also: I've decided that most of the men look like they're playing in their pyjamas.

Hi Grouchy

Well done Jack.

Poor David. VAMOS

Shopping just turned up. Over an hour early ! Ah well. Least the family can eat now.

Vamos Rafa ! Lets get this done now !

I'd be rampaging already, Grouchy. That's not on.

Happy. One more game.

Good days tennis so far.

Perhaps they'll show a bit of David if Rafa finishes in next few mins.

Whose playing Serena ? Is she likely to get beat ?

Mind you, will keep watching. Certainly not watching FA Cup.

Vamios- David started off better in the 4th set. And he's not one to get tired. Bolleli over 5, I don't know how he will do.

Vamos !!

Rafa's such a gent.

VAMOS ! #10 HERE WE COME !

This has been a much better set.

Was speedy in the end.

Will now direct my Vamos to David.
Can we see him take his top off, now?

I can't really see Sock being a problem.

Rude children. Not one s'il vous plait among them.

Awwww. Le francais. Tres bon !

Would help if the pen worked !

Awww. He is lovely.

Hear that, Raahh ? They're showing Gasket V Anderson.

We'll have to Vamos David on here.

Not Ferrer? Bugger.

I will use the opportunity to walk the dog.

Ferrer's taken it to a 5th. VAMOS !

See you later !

Well, looks like Ferrer has upped his game. Or Bolleli has gone home.

Which is good, as I keep getting the 'LLL's in his name muddled up.

That was a quick walk !

David heard our "vamoses" I think.

Gasket match could easily go the distance.
