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!

Petch if Andy is doing that its a bloomin silly tactic.

ooooh -- nasty to the ballkid, there

I bloomin hope so, Barbara.

Petch just said the same thing.

What happened with the ballkid ?

Was quoting from this article, which amused me:

"The one factor that played to Murray’s advantage was Bourgue’s inexperience. He had never played a five-set match before and his nutritional choices – a can of Coke and a chocolate bar – contrasted with Murray’s colour-coded shakes."

(Clearly my attention is waning in this third set...)

Well -yes holding all the slams at one time is a brilliant achievement, but he is still behind Roger and Rafa in total slams.

But yes, they will all be praising him to the heavens if he wins.

Come ON Andy.

Djoko just barked for his towel in rather a sharp-ish way.

Grasping at straws, me.

Nishky

But they will all call him the GOAT.

Its all kinds of wrong.

I missed that too with the ball boy .

Too frustrating almost to watch

Usual Novak way, Barbara.

Crowd are appalling. Disgraceful.

Keep calm Andy

Kim feels the same as us - couldn't watch

I reckon Novak bought all the tickets and gave them away to fans.

Never heard such a biased crowd.

Mrs Vamos but Federer and Nadal can chuckle in a Mutley ' show me your medals' kind of way.

I suppose it is possible that as the 4th sets nears the end, Djoko could get The Nerves.

Nishky True.

How horrible.

Novak's developing a smirk and Andy's behaving like a stroppy teen.
This camera compliant is nonsense.

Hope so, Barbara.

Andy and the camera !

Novak must have bought and given away the tickets. Its the only way he'd get such support, surely ?

I still believe Andy can win this. He's running out of time, but I have faith.

COME ON!!!

Nothing going Andy's way.

Horrible to watch. Urgh.

Dubious line call.

What annoys me is the crowd will probably give Murray a big ovation, despite the fact that they actively tried to put him off when he was serving for the first set.

They did that to Djokovic the last time he lost to Nadal

This will be a bagel if Andy's not careful.

Yy, Nishky.

Jim Courier just said Novak has no weaknesses.

Is he God, and no-one told us ? Ffs.
