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!

Rafa is prob having a lovely time on his boat in the med somewhere with Cisca and all his mates. Relieved go have escaped from Toni for a couple of weeks. And he has been sure to leave all tennis rackets and balls at home :)

Both are nervous.

Allez Stan, hold your serve !

Yes, Rafa will be on his boat. Catching fish.

Counting his NINE RG trophies....

Juan

Did you hear John say that he thought Andy had probably walked the dogs then settled down to watch ?

Bet he hasn't.

I know I keep saying it but I love Stan's backhand. This could be a good match.

Raahh

Yy.

I bet he's thinking, you may win this 1, but you'll never have 9 !

Stan's got a great game.

Hopefully it will be a good match. Not a great, or a classic, unless perhaps it goes to 5 and Stan wins.

This is gonna be good if they keep it up like this.

Stan is dressed like a middle aged man. I expect to see him in socks and sandals with that get up.

Yes MrsV, I did hear John say that - it made me reflect that if the BBC had tried hard, they couldn't have found 3 more irritating (to me anyway!) commentators than John, Nick and Jim!

DH and the DDs are forcing me to go out and enjoy "the beautiful weather". Fuck that, I want to enjoy the beautiful tennis.

I doubt very much Murray is watching this.

This might exceed expectations.

oh Hearts

Oh Hearts don't they understand?

Quite, Juan.

I think we all need to go to RG next year, and do pirate commentary. The people would love us & they'd have no choice but to employ our services !

hearts

Noooooooo. You can't go out.

Do a deal. If you have to go out today, you get to watch Queens & Wimby UNINTERRUPTED.

Juan

Just one small thing.

You're watching ITV, not BBC

Well we are supposedly only wandering over to the local shops - Superdrug, the Japanese grocery, then the new ice cream gelato place. So with any luck will be back within an hour or so. But still. Humph.

Humph indeed, hearts.

Get gelato takeaway. That's half hour gained already.

Phew. Stan held.

Expect Novak to start feeling dizzy soon.

Oh so I am MrsV, obviously too irritated by them to remember where I am and what I'm watching! Liking the commentating idea very much :)

Hearts - a whole hour Better make sure you get a bloody big icecream as a reward.

At least we will be spared the shorts at Wimbledon.

I mean, I wouldn't mind, but they don't even look like they fit!

Now...come on Stan- don't panic.

Buggering bollocks.

That's the 1st set over.

Drat.

Is someone not going to be wearing shorts at Wimbledon Raah? Could be interesting :)

Juan

Stan's outfit does look like a pyjama set, no ?

I was reading the Wimby attire rules last night. They are very strict. And I'm sure many more players violate certain ones more often than we think.

Did you know there shouldn't be any 'bright' colours ? I knew about the blocks of colour etc, but players are encouraged to wear more pastel colours than bright or neon.

I'm sure there's a couple of players who have not quite adhered to that !

I wonder how much Boris actually does. When Roger took Stefan on, he was in a slump, he too advice, and things improved. I'm not really sure what Boris does.

Juan

Dirty girl.

I like your thinking though. Could make some matches much more 'interesting', shall we say ?

Ol' Jo-Willy's got huge feet, have you noticed ?
