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

Raahh

What did you say ?

Crikey ! Go Sloane !

Grouchy- probably. They are a very vocal bunch. And rude.

MrsV- it was probably a variant of 'feck'

It's not like she hasn't heard me swear before. fishwife

Poor GrumpyGrouchy.

I think they did just boo Andy yes. The French public aren't renowned for being sporting.

Come on Sloane !

It's only the first set though- nothing to say Williams won't come back.

Andy appears to be muttering to himself.

Mmm, cake. Thank you, MrsV.

Great stuff from Sloane!

Yes ! Well done Sloane !

Serena's body language is odd John because she isn't used to getting beaten fair & square.

Raahh I'm the original fishwife too. DCs are used to it.

But apparently her body language going to the chair is odd, Raahh.

Why is she looking at the umpire ? Reminding them of the backhander ? Ffs.

Hmmph.

Haha Andy doesn't get any better at challenges.

Ah well, must go and unpack some more boxes. Hope Andy finishes this soon.

Crowd really not liking Andy today.

Good for Chardy that he is still keeping Andy running about.
Hopefully that will tire him nicely before his match against David. So many matches in a row has to have made him a bit weary now, surely>

Chardy keeps doing that- don't aim there, if you ain't going to get it in!!

I reckon David will have him if Jeremy doesn't. David's like Rafa, RG seems to bring out the best in him.

Errani got 1st set.

2 games all second set Serena V Sloane.

Ooh, is the princess whinging ?

Do you think Serena is not really playing properly?

I want Sloane to win, if for no other reason than i can't stand Serena's outfit.

I'd rather see Serena having a strop than this.

Oh no, Serena always gives her all.

She's a diva whose had it all her own way for far too long, including dubious calls at all the Slams.

Her reign is coming to an end & she doesn't like it. They all get beat one day.

Quite apt if the young up coming American beats her, surely ?

Part of me wants this to go to a 5th set. Just because.

it won't though.

The crowd is quite subdued now.

Looks like I was wrong about Andy going home today.

Wednesday will do instead.

Yes. Crowd are fickle anyway.

Perhaps Gasket will be the Frenchman that goes through ?

Jezza still has the crowd- and Murray isn't happy with them.

Gasquet

There's always Tsonga...

Probaby reminds him of Wimby V Rafa. Or Novak. Or anyone.
