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

probably

I can spell, honest.

True.

Tsonga's through to quarters though. Thought the French contingent was strong....

Come on Sloane !

Oh this is all but over isn't it?

Well, at least he hasn't had it all his own way, and has had more of a fight than he would have expected.

Has Serena decided to join in? Or has Sloane remembered the deal they struck before the match?

'Lackadaisical' is Inverdale's word of the day.

Jezza's staging a mini fight back.

I love that word.

Or has Jeremy got a bit of fight left in him?

No doubt who the crowd are behind.

Bloody naughty if Serena isn't playing properly.

Haven't seen any of match to comment though.

Why would they imply that anyway ? Far more likely she's whinging cos she's losing.

Oh bollocks.

More than a handful is a waste, isn't it ?

eep.

What's oh bollocks ?

Bollocks

Come on Sloane !

Andy through to quarters.

VAMOS DAVID !

VAMOS RAFA ! SHOW SOCK WHO WEARS THE TROUSERS SHOES !

Chardy could have have made this to 5...

Might not have survived the 5th set.

Well, a good match. Well done to Chardy.

Already making excuses for him, eh, Jim?

Oh well. He tried. Next.

How does Andy already know who won the Ferrer v Cilic match?

maybe he found out in between points.

Or he's psychic?

Or made a lucky guess?

I'm only watching this if Serena loses. They had better not leave it on.

Rafa should be out soon-ish.

Spooky.

COME ON SLOANE !

VAMOS DAVID

VAMOS RAFA

Allez Gasquet

I wonder why there's no love lost between these two. I would be far too cowardly to oppose Serena in any way, shape or form.

Bet they switch to Gasquet anyway.
