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

Ooh.

So tense

The level of play is phenomenal. I'm like this >

I can't concentrate on 2 matches.

Argh. 1st Novak.

But it could have been over a lot earlier. At least he pulled it back.

3-3 whenI looked at the Ferrer match, seems like they are trading breaks.

Yy, Juan.

What's the matter with Novak ? Didn't hear ?

Poor old Cedric looked really worried then.

Not enjoying watching on 'puter - a bit of buffering - but what tennis!!

Oh thanks Nick. He wants special treatment.

Tennis is superb.

He's not happy that they're not watering the court. Says it's the same every year.

And it was explained to him, every year clearly, that watering it after every set is not how they do it.

He's moaning that a dryer court suits Rafa.

Just get on and play.

drIer court

Alopogies.

I am getting tense. Even though it is only the second set.

Novak's tense as well.

He needs to get over it. Umpire just said it was discussed before the match.

He's the only one complaining.

He's lost the crowd too.

VAMOS RAFA !

VAMOS DAVID !

Fantastic !

Going to vanish now - as am taping the other match to watch later - have avain hope I might not know result!!!

See y'all later - much later the rate this is going!!

Come on Rafa, a break would be good now.

Has anyone noticed the camera yet?

6-5 now to Ferrer, Murray serving to stay in set.

I can watch both matches on adjacent channels on Eurosport. Either the sond quality is iffy, or it is far more subdued on Suzanne-Lenglen.

Raahh

One on laptop one on tv.

Laptop is very loud tv almost mute.

That was such a chance.

I don't think my nerves can take this.

Tie break Andy V David.

We could be here for a l o n g while.

My nerves are shot.

Murray got 1st set.

Can't watch.
