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

Where there's a pulse there's hope?

Cheerful.

My MN has started playing up again. Anyone else's?

Cos Sloane will replace her, Juan.

Errani through.

Oh yes, Raahh.

Ooooooooooh ! Whoop whoop Rafa !

VAMOS RAFA !

ALLEZ GASQUET !

Yes, Juan. Its playing up for me.

Mine too.

Rafa looking fabulous again.

It might be a lovely summer day in Paris - it's grey, cold and windy here.

Bugger. Serena levels.

let's go Andy! Phew that was touch and go, but he lives on. That Jezza's a bit easy on the eye though what?

I love Andy, but he'll have to seriously up his game to get past the evergreen Ferrer.

I'm freezing. Winds picking up.

Today started off lovely. Then it rained.

I sent ds off on his bike this morning. He won't be happy now.

They had better not leave this match on.

I want to see Rafa

Oh sod off showing this.

We want Rafa.

Murray will have a tougher match V Ferrer. Hasn't beaten him on clay. Hopefully that bodes well for Ferrer.

Go Sloane !

That can't be true - Serena doesn't know who she's playing til 30 mins before? How can she avoid it - we just saw that Andy already knew who his next opponent would be before leaving the court. And how does she prepare if she doesn't know who she's up against?

I heard them say that the other day, Juan.

Think its bullshit myself. Is she really that up herself ?

Juan because her supreme arrogance means she doesn't need to prepare, presumably.

Must be a tactic that works though. Sadly.

Right this match can sod right off.

And Azarenka was robbed.

bullshit

Azarenka WAS robbed.

AHEM!!

Why??? Are we still watching this?

I need to see Rafa line up his bottles and rearrange his shorts.

Has the Nadal match started? I'm surprised they're sticking with this one.

Its alright, Raahh. The 2015 champion, sorry Rafa, is a break up already.

Its cos they're crapping themselves Serena's going out, Juan.

Consensus is Rafa will win easy.

Maybe he'll do better if I don't watch anyway.

Curse you, Sloane, for not downing her in straight sets

Why are they so bothered? If Sock beats Rafa today, they will wet themselves with excitement. Why is Serena so special?
