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

Ferrer very safely through.
which is good.

bloody phone.

ferrer has won, as you may have gathered.

I take it you are happy about Ferrer's win, Raahh?

Cilic through as well, I like Cilic.
Not just because of the Ivanisevic connection.

Kvitova's got a fight on her hands. Hope she comes through, I like her.

Deliciano is having a bad RG. Out in singles yesterday, and down a set to the British pair (I think?) in the doubles just now.

Poor deliciano.
He will be glad to go home.

I really like Kvitova- but she is so inconsistent. And now she has a time violation.

how very French- A bloke is painting the action.

ooh- dig there from the commentator about how Sharapova doesn't grunt during practice...

Deliciano & friend up 3-0 in the second set.

Looks like Kvitova has a break now.

Sharapova? I bet she doesn't. Can't stand the woman.

Nadal looking good in blue.

Afternoon, lovelies.

Liking the blue !

VAMOS RAFA

Right. We want this done in 3.

hello, MrsV

Vamos Rafa!

definitely,- not interested in classic match. 3 bagels will do just fine.

love the 9 on his shoes.

Hi, darling. Hope the DCs are behaving for you.

Hopefully this is "starting as we mean to go on".

Can you imagine if he does this ?

Amazing.

Looks well so far.

3 bagels would be lovely.

Or even 6-0 6-1 6-2 or summat.
