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

On a happier note.

ALLEZ JO !

Wow. No-one expected that, did they ?!

Think Stan is gonna have Roger.

That seems like a strange decision MrsV. I know it's looking right now like there will be a french interest tomorrow, but even so.

Hope the person who hurt their arm on PC is ok.

What time do they kick off tomorrow? I have to be out til 1ish.

Hi Juan.

I know. I think its because even though its not 'up' to itv, they will probably have argued the great British public will want to see Murray.

I think coverage is the same as today. Coverage on itv starts at 12:30.

Stan is on a flyer.

Yes, I guess you're right MrsV :(

Stan can't put a foot wrong today. Nick just said "he's ripping the peel off it". I thought he was going to say "ripping the piss".

Bollocks- I knew that break would affect Tsonga

Allez Jo-Willy!

Phew!! Thought Ken was going to sneak back in there.

Oh brilliant, Jo is showing Ken how to play :)

Oh, just hearing Pot's name mentioned makes me sad :(

Its crap, Juan.

Jo is playing really well again. Didn't everyone expect Nishikori to wallop him ?

Fabulous. 2 sets up. Hope Jo wins. Be fab if he did it in 3.

Roger's woked up a bit.

Poor Pot

I didn't see anything prior to this, to even suggest a comeback.

Maybe Wimbledon

All the commentators really rate Kei. His results are good, but I don't see what is so fantastic about him.

It would certainly shut up the pundits, if Jo won in 3.

So- the next match could be Stan and J-Willy- which no-one predicted.

I don't think Pot will be, or indeed should be, back this year. He needs to take proper time to recover. He is training and working at it, so fingers crossed.

Stan v Jo would be interesting - I should imagine Stan would have it.

Crowd very evidently behind Roger. How must it feel when thousands of people are chanting for your opponent I wonder.

Although actually there was a big round of applause for Stan then. Roger swearing is a rare event.

Nick does talk some crap. Bit like me actually ...

yy, Roger doesn't really go in for that sort of thing any more, the swearing.

DD1 just said we should buy some "funny shorts" for DH. I think she'll always have to watch sports with me.

Think Stan will take the tie-break.

Can't believe Roger swore !

He's holding on.

Do you know what's really annoying ? Supposed to be able to watch Jo match on itvplayer, oh no, its showing Roger. Don't know if it got mucked up when the sheeting fell ?

Which probably means there will be a muck up with the Rafa match tomorrow.

Ridonkulous.

Come on Roger, at least win a set !

I think Jo may have won.

Don't quote me but can hear raucous noise.
