Tennis thread- FRENCH OPEN- Semi finals and beyond...

[Raahh]

New thread, before the other fills up.

Allez Tsonga!

Come on Stan!

Next up, Djok and Murray. If the hail stays away!

Hearts.

it ended up being one hell of a match.

Glad you enjoyed the ice cream .

Hooray for Stan! It's nice that it wasn't one of the "big four', I think, if it couldn't be Rafa's 10th.

Not long till Wimbledon now!

Thanks for the fun thread.

Place marking hoping to re join the thread soon.
Didn't see the final but am thrilled for Stan

Well RG has been fun, sharing it all with you lovely lot

Roll on the grass court season, my favourite time of the year!

Hello lovelies.

I'm boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooored.

I know what you mean. It got to 9.30 and there was not tennis to watch.

Bet Stan is on cloud nine today.

I had no excuse but to tidy stuff today. Well, a bit.

Even DH was moaning about the lack of tennis today

Got a fuck of a lot of cleaning done, so now feel virtuous!!

Evening.

I had a vague hope some of you may be around but no, you clearly all have lives.

7 sleeps till Queens.

Hi MrsV. It's always a flat week day after a Slam Final.
Roll on the grass!

Hi Creme

Oh, there's life !

I said to DH today, its not so bad at the moment, its when Wimby ends.

Knowing that you can't watch US because you don't have Sky, and because its on at silly o clock times.

That's my summer over when Wimby ends.

As a final nod to Stan here is a link to his final press conference where the shorts take a starring role. So cute and self deprecating and great sense of humour - that's him not the shorts.....

it's the shorts what won it

Hi purple

Awww. Bless Stan and his pj's.

I love your little vids & pics. You're like the Maryz of the tennis thread. Many a time she has kept me going with a cheeky little snap.

Yay, Maryz

Booooooooo, Maryz

I'll just have to google, wont I ?

Perhaps I'll find some nekkid pics and put on my phone so I can post ?

I could find some alternative pictures ?

So pleased to hear you'll be around for the final week, Maryz.

ah. nice clip of Stan paying tribute to his shorts

ooh, good start for Rafa- he's won his first doubles match with Lopez.

Small steps, Rafa, small steps.

Well, Rafa made heavy weather of his match against Baghdatis, but pulled through in the end. All good practice.

Rafa won his second match, against Tomic. Still finding his feet, but a win is a win.

And the ATP tour website has changed. It is shit. I am really cross.

Hi Raahh. Calm down its only a website....I've just had a look and think they have made it mobile/tablet friendly. Think the old one was very desktop whereas new one looks much more up to date.

I'm sure you will get used to it.......

for the purple

The website is still utter pants though

but to cheer me up, Rafa has win his semi final today in Stuttgart.

Raahhpuppy hasn't been well, turns out the silly mutt ate 4 thick strings off a floor mop , which got stuck in his intestines. He has had surgery and today is just wandering around d feeling sorry for himself. He is not fond of the buster collar .
