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

Jo is playing very well though. Berdych looks very subdued to me, doesn't look like he's got any fire in him.

Perhaps he's just having an off day.

Berdych is hitting better this set.

Very quiet match.

Not used to no grunting.

All you all really need to know is that Pot is mine hoping muddled is safely away from her pc

I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before Jo's performance is tarnished by talk of Berdy's health. But they better not say anything in front of Fabrice or he will challenge them to a duel :) Actually - that could be a good way to get shot of Nick ...

I haven't seen Jo play this well for ages.

I haven't heard anyone say anything about Berdych, its just me.

Not wanting to take away from Jo at all, he's playing fantastic tennis !

Flippin late calls.

No. Not rain.

No MrsV, I know you weren't doing Jo down. And I agree - I actually do think there might be something up with Berdy.

Oh, Nishikori through pretty easily.

Berdy has upped his game it seems.

It doesn't sound like there's a single Berdy fan in the house.

Shame about Nishikori- but Tsonga is playing really well. With momentum and the crowd behind him, plus he's about a foot taller he should trounce Nish.

Brilliant! Where are you all? Are you all off peeling eggs? Should I go and peel some?

ALLEZ JO !

still here, just. Have to walk her ladyship shortly. Be a quick one this evening.

Oh no. Jo better not lose his nerve now.

I am between peeling eggs and chopping beetroot. Neither are for me. They are both evil foodstuff.

And Tsonga seems to be letting Berdy in.

Ike has refused to go out twice today. He is very mardy in the wet.

You can't walk the dog while there's tennis on MrsV

Ooooh is Berdy making a comeback? I want Jo to win but not walk all over him.

Jo does appear a little rattled.

he need to get on with it fast. If they decide to suspend, who knows what a bit of Night Nurse will do for Berdy?

Raahh your dog is called Ike? That is ultra cool

(He might want to check the label with Cilic first, though).

I keep sounds eminently sensible.

It wouldn't surprise me if Berdy came right back. Jo has a problem finishing matches it seems to me.

Hearts thank you. It suits him. He is like a little old man. At 5 months old
