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!

Come on Garbine! As long as you don't get nervous, the match is yours!!

Its amusing listening to Sam & Marion on ITV4.

Marion soooo desperately wants Serena to win she's constantly paying her vomplimants, whereas Sam is excited by the tennis Gabi is playing and is loving it !

Oh yes ! VAMOS !

Oh yes !

I can't watch...

We decided to take the dog for a walk. It is VERY hot here, and the stuffiness was making me feel worse. Now at a pub near the water park, where they let dogs on. I am melting.

Vamos Gabi, don't let the cheating one get to you!

What.A.Game.
Come on Garbine, you can do this!!

GABI'S DONE IT ! VAMOS !

And in 2 sets !

Fan-bloomin-tastic !

YES!

Fabulous tennis. Wish my forehand was like Murguruza's !

Bloody brilliant!!!

Oh my goodness, that was brilliant !

Raahh its really chilly here.

Awww, Gabi's lovely !

Does anyone want Serena to win?

Fantastic!! Well done, Gabi.

Serena was very unsettled and didn't play her best but that was done to Muguruza not giving up! Even with all those double faults she kept going!

Of course , Serena was injured dontcha know. which I'm sure will be discussed at great length.

Vamos
.

Injured my arse.

She played, and got beat fair and square. No excuses.

Oooh, lovely news!

I'm still on catch up!!! I'd better step away from this thread although I think I might have guessed... Vamos?

I don't like Serena either. Find her a very bad loser at times and quite often acts like she's better than everyone else.

To be fair, Serena HAS been better than everyone else an awful lot of the time....

I'm delighted with Garbine's win today, though. I think it's time for some new winners.

Brilliant tennis from Garbine.

DH & O came close to throwing a brick at the TV owing to Marion's awful commentary. She couldn't even shut up during a crucial service & talked such waffle.

magi

That wasn't commentary, it was fawning.

Commentary on Eurosport was excellent. Love Chris evert

Mary Carillo said on NBC that plenty of people are upset with Marion today for reporting that Serena was getting treatment (yesterday?) for an adductor problem. As a reporter, Marion wouldn't have even known about it, but as a player in the Legends, she had access to player areas at RG and broadcast what should have been kept private.

Carillo was really trying to get MacEnroe to say that he would never do such a thing and that Marion was a terrible human being for having reported on the treatment. He wasn't really bovvered.
