TENNIS Thread- C'est L'Open francaise -la seconde semaine! Allez!

[Raahh]

(Apologies to any French speakers and for lack of cedilla- hazy 'A' level French and an English keyboard)

Looking forward to Monfils/Federer

Right, come on Gael, give Roger a match.

Thanks for weather info raahh.

I'm worried this match may not live up to the hype.

And might actually finish tonight.

Right- that might have been one of those 'Monfils on the back foot, throws the set quickly' times. He might come out full of beans next set.

Or he could be knackered.

This is less of a match and more of a trouncing. Gael not believing and not competing. He does this sometimes and it's very annoying.

Simon looks like he is being out hit by Stan.

YY, Gael does seem to have a less than committed attitude to the game, sometimes.

Come on Gael, lets gets a 3-0 lead.

hard not to watch that and seriously wonder if he just gave up on the 1st set.

He always gives up on sets he's not going to win though, doesn't he. He does seem to have a habit of deliberately dropping them.

Ok so he's started to try now! Must have heard us dissing him.

He needs this set.

He is playing a bloke in lurid pink shorts, ffs.

Oh yes, he needs to win for that if nothing else, Raahh.

He's got a cold too?

He's going to throw this set away now, isn't he?

I would like to see this go level sets, and then end for bad light.

Otherwise, it could get messy.

Bloody good shot there from Monfils.

Still hate that camera angle though.

Some great rallies. When Gael tries he's right up there.

Oh well done! Game on again.

Ah well. All set up for an interesting finale tomorrow.

I think that's the right call.

even if it will delay Rafa.

I have just spotted a poster called raawwhh

it has confused me

Don't think I'm going to get much done tomorrow :)

Oh dear, where raahh?

Petchey has a look of Prince Andrew about him
