ALLEZ! ROLAND GARROS tennis thread (cont) as we head to the second week.[title edited by MNHQ at OP's request]

[Raahh]

I can't link , as I'm on my phone. And I now have to do BBQ things because dh has remembered he has a broken thumb

Aller! Richard!

I might make Flower of Scotland my ringtone.

We could play it simultaneously and hope it reaches Andy telepathically.

I don't think I've ever seen Andy play better.

If he can keep that level on Sunday he's got a great chance.

I've been rooting for him since the start of RG.

I'm a big Andy fan.

mummy !

I'll be rooting for him on Sunday. Was worried he was knackered at the start but he's got better and better.

the flower of Scotland, doo, dooo, deeee, dummm.....

I'll give you mummy

And let's not forget Gordon Reid - who has reached the final of the mens' wheelchair singles.

Two Brits/Scots in the final at RG.

Sorry, lovely magi.

If it annoys you I'll stop it.

Well Done to Gordon !

There was a British girl who got through yesterday too, wasn't there ? I know she did well anyway.

You learn something new everyday. I thought the Scottish national anthem must have been Scotland the Brave....

Now I know better. Thank you YouTube!

"And stood against Him/Proud Edward's Army/And sent him homeward..."

"And stood against Him/Novak Djokovic/And sent him homeward..."

Have to go to PIL on Sunday. Need to watch the tennis .

Barbara

You're on lyric re-write. That's BRILLIANT !

Full lyrics up by Sunday, please.

Listening to the Novak vommentary, Ol' Petch is going to be very conflicted on Sunday, isn't he ?

He wont know whose arse to stick his head up.

I was really interested to hear what Andy Roddick said a year or two ago about Andy M. He was asked about Andy M's grumpiness, swearing on court etc. and said that a lot of players who were 'gentlemen' on court were not so nice in 'real' life. He didn't name them unfortunately…. but that Andy was the opposite, grumpy on court - friendly and laid back in 'real' life.

MrsV - you never annoy me!!

Joanne Wiley was the woman who got through but, sadly, lost today.

Allez Andy!

I don't post much, but it's the only tennis thread on MN, so.......

Have only just caught up on Eurosport and am ecstatic that Andy silenced the naysayers and won

He's in the final. Whether he wins or not, he got to the final

I'm ecstatic for the funny, quirky, endearing, lovely British no 1

Oh, and Going I'm with you. I don't get the Nadal stuff either

It's weird there are no other threads isn't it?
Andy did so well yesterday, but I'm not sure that Stan was playing his best he seemed a bit flat.
I find the slow cold conditions at Roland garros this year have drained life from the matches; I'm still watching though.

I will be out tomorrow and have to watch the final in the evening- torture.

Ready everyone? Ladies, give us a good match, please! Come on Garbine!

Vamos Gabi! Not sure how much I will see, have a migraine that started brewing yesterday and now is making me feel quite sick.

Think if I do watch I will stick to Euro sport for the commentary- although even there, they are too pro- Serena for my liking. And are already bigging up an injury she has.

So VAMOS GABI!!!!

Oh dear, Raah. Hope you feel better soon. I think it's also on Radio 5 Live, so maybe listening to it might be an option? It's what I always do for the U.S. Open, as I don't have Sky Sports.

Thanks, Creme.

I can feel myself nodding off...

Yes! Go on Garbine! Brilliant first set there, fair play to both of them!

Great stuff Garbine.

Hi All

Raahh poor you, lovely. Look after yourself.

Great first set ! Gabi is playing brilliantly !

Loving watching Serena get beaten !

VAMOS GABI !

They're calling her "Mugu" on NBC.

Vamos, Mugu! Serena certainly didn't hand her that first set; she really won it.

More of the same please!

Crikey -- sounds like a labor ward on court.

Who said Serena handed Gabi the set ? Out of order !

Barbara

I really love Mugu's facial expressions. She seems to be enjoying herself.
