[Raahh]

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

Looking forward to Monfils/Federer

Yes !

VAMOS RAFA !

Phew! Small steps- now HOLD YOUR SERVE

Pfft. So much for Gasquet

McEnroe has never liked Rafa.

Least he's not got far to go home, ol Richard.

Ffs Rafa. VAMOS

Not again...

Look I like Sock.

Just NOT TODAY.

Well, John's hardly there supporting Rafa is he ?

Krygios is there ? I'd be prepping for grass season if I was him...

VAMOS RAFA !

YES !

Thank goodness for that.

Jack's a better player than Nick. Much.

Right, just break him now.

But no doubt we will hear 'Jack Sock, who took a set off Rafa at RG....' forever now. it will be on hi CV.

He's much more likeable as well.

Right Rafa. Hold your serve.

Oh I definitely think Sock is better, and he's no slouch at doubles either.

But I can't cope with him taking this to 5. That's supposed to happen Wednesday. If at all.

Back of the court looked a bit dodgy there - looked like some clay coloured carpet was semi unrolled.

Juan.

It would seem so.

He wants this, doesn't he ?!

VAMOS RAFA !

This is getting painful.

but I BELIEVE

Vamos

Keep calm, Raahh. .

Have faith. Its not over yet.

I can't see the ball for the sun.

Have spent the afternoon putting books on the new bookcase, which was far more complicated than it should have been.

This Sock kid sure can hit the ball, but I've seen a few magic shots from Rafa. DD1 likes his pyjamas outfit.

VAMOS

COME ON !

Pyjamas

How late ?!

Nice one.
