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!

Djok's going to beat himself if he doesn't get his head down. He hates it when the crowd are behind his opponent.

One of the many reasons I don't like him, Juan.

I think that John is trying to create an atmosphere that isn't there.

Sounds a bit desperate.

I hope Murray doesn't let this rather long break distract him...

I kind of get how he feels as he mostly is the least liked player. Must be quite galling when you play sublime tennis yet people still don't like you.

We're going out for dinner later, hope I get to see the end.

But it's wasn't a long break. They were given an allocated amount of time. Djok took it. Murray chose to return to court, and act as though Djok was delaying.

Loved the end of that set from Andy. The baby found it exciting too.

I find Djokovic unlikeable because he's a robot. You don't get to see much from him. And his eyes are dead. And I agree with Creme Egg.

Hope Andy can keep the energy. Doesn't look like it so far...

ooh, enjoy your dinner juan.

I can't decide what to have. I am on day 5 of Harcombe and have survived (yay!). Really didn't think I would on Monday!

may dig some salmon out of the freezer.

There was a point there that looked a bit long...

That rally was nerve-wracking.

Grouchy, do you mean a robot on or off court? I don't think he's robotic in either sphere - shows plenty of emotion on court (not all of it nice), and seems like a nice funny sociable man off it. Tries too hard to be liked sometimes maybe but that's the opposite of robotic.

Thank you Raahh - we get to meet dd's new boyfriend. I'm a bit nervous! Well done on getting to end of week - how much have you lost?

Definitely spoke too soon when I said Djok was leaving Andy standing.

I son't think I've lost much- possibly 3 lb's . but I'm happy that i have been able to stick to it.

Good luck on meeting the boyfriend.

I am starving, but I can't do anything about it for now. I haven't eaten since an early lunch of scrambled eggs on toast just before noon.

Yess!

On, mostly. I just never get a warm vibe from him. But then I've really only been able to watch Wimbledon before so I've not seen a lot of him.

Novak is making Andy work hard for every shot.

And Andy is making it hard for himself, per usual.

Djokovic is back in control.

Right, I have tuna steaks and cauliflower

Both of them are getting riled.

it's going to rain?

better get a move on Djok.

Rain break??
