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

Great rally. I sense I'm in the minority today so I will keep a low profile.

There isn't a "you must support the British player" thing. It is a fact that lots of people do support Murray. That is why ITV will show Murray.

Rafa's match is going as well so far as my furniture making. I've given up; I'm sure he won't.

Right FOCUS.

Break him back now.

VAMOS

Aww, Grouchy.

Rafa's 1st sets always used to be a write off, which he used to guage his opponent.

Oh yes ! Shot, Rafa.

VAMOS RAFA !

Phew. No bagel. Thank fuck.

Right, now hold.

Get angry.

He needs to stop trying to chip the ball over.

(This thread is going to get confusing when we are discussing different matchs )

Hmm.

VAMOS RAFA !

Break again !

How many sets do we reckon?

yesss!

Get the break!

Yay, Eurosport HD saves the day.

I really like the way both Nadal and Djokovic play so I don't mind who wins.

?

Blimey, I've never heard the pair of them so noisy.

Juan I was thinking the same. Very loud

That bloody net

All the way, I reckon Juan.

Would prefer Rafa in 4.

VAMOS !

Hurrah!!

Right- now hold your serve.

(I've got poor DD1 as excited as me. She hasn't a clue what's going on, but she is cheering a lot)

Murray off to a good start, playing the kind of shots I didn't see in his previous match.

Surprised at how often Djok has hit the ball into the net.

Raahh that's brilliant !

Even DS has appeared.

They've got Murray on both itv and online at minute

Its horrible watching it on laptop.

But Rafa's winning !

Level on games.

VAMOS !

Right, back on track.

Vamos

to Ferrer as well. Vamos

Oh this isn't fair. What's the point of having the same match on both platforms.

Juan

I have Rafa on mine ?
