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

Some howlers already from Sam Smith: "I'm sure they like omens in China" (about Li Na's daughter being born today on Nadal's birthday), and she's basically just called Sara Errani a dog. Nice.

It's available on line @ www.itv.com/frenchopen.

I've just set it up & it's not bad - AND you don't get ads!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAFA !

VAMOS !

Internet coverage running about a point behind.

Eff off itv put PC on, Andy's not on yet.

Here we go....warming up.

And itv switch back to SL.

And on itv player...is the women.

Right, I have Eurosport on. I fell aleep duing the previous match.

Matts Wilander and a scary blonde woman are discussing it. They have decided Djok. will win.

We will see.

I BELIEVE!

VAMOS

Can't find PC on ITV4 or on telly! Has anyone else got it?

Ahh never mind.

I think I have McEnroe commentating. He is totally biased against Nadal. I might have to turn the sound off.

Not yet, barb.

Its switched again on ITV4, currently showing Rafa.

VAMOS RAFA !

Plus he cannot Djokovic properly.

Oh no, Raahh.

Crowd is with Rafa, methinks.

Whoop whoop !

Here we go !

It's on the telly at the minute.

I still cannot believe ITV have decided to show the Murray match. I love Ferrer, and hope he wins in 3.

ITV poll again showed over 60% of people think Rafa will win.

And no, I didn't vote.

Going with serve.

It could possibly be that Murray is British that clinched it.

Its ridiculous. THIS is the match everyone wants to see.

Even Andy tweeted saying he knew he was second fiddle.

Clearly no-one told him they were showing his match over Rafa V Novak.

Eek. Not a good start.

But he always starts off slowly.

Vamos

British shouldn't over rule defending Champion.

Not every British person likes Murray.

Raahh.

No panic.

Grrr.

I'm already irritated by Mac and 'Djoker- vich.'

I don't get the being British so you must support the British player thing. It's like saying - 'You're a woman, only watch the women'.

Which I do. When nothing better is on

Hold your serve, Rafa.

VAMOS !

Quite, Raahh.

Women have finished on SL so anyone watching on ITV expect it to be moved soon.

VAMOS RAFA

Fuck, that was unlucky.
