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!

Who chose that green for Murray's shorts? Is hideous.

I do like Playmobil Milos. Would love a Lego tennis set: you could build Centre Court and then put a tiny Rafa with the trophy next to a defeated tiny Novak with a smashed up racquet. And a tiny Federer with a lovely Lego cardigan. And a tiny fluorescent Stan.

I'm still fond of Isner after the Longest Match Ever.

Queenie

I would imagine being a top player he chose himself.

Bleurgh. To his taste. Just bleurgh.

You must be able to Lego tennis? You can get Lego everything!? < off to Google>

Oh, yy. And Mahut.

That was his name. Mahut. Is he still playing?

How's Gasquet doing in the match people actually want to watch?

Murray 2 sets up.

Hurry up then we can watch Richard.

Isner is well narked

Yy, Mahut still playing. Knocked out R2 this week I think. Think he might play doubles too.

I know Richard won the 1st set...hold on...

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MUSIC.

Ooh, John's telling me.

Oh fuck off with the 'left handed Spaniard'.

Its upsetting and annoying.

Richard is leading in the 2nd...break of serve leading 3-1.

Apparently they played the musak earlier this week and people liked it and asked for it.

I am watching Murray on the tv and Gasquet on the iPad - but I fear it may be migraine inducing

I preferred it when they used 'Rizzle Kicks' song, 'Dreamerz' myself.

It was very appropriate for Rafa if you listen to the lyrics. They used it one of the years he won.

Gasquet is in Eurosport 2.Nishis down a break in the second set, serving, about to go 4-1 down.

Needless to say, the crowd are not on Kei's side

Ooh, Nishky be careful.

Allez Richard!!

Excellent, Raahh.

I'll probably see mini-highlights later.

There's only one song for Rafa

You don't see Novak getting asked to do things like this

I have given it up as a bad job -wasn't reall able to follow either match properly.

I'll probably see mini-highlights later

MrsVamos - I'm sure we saw at least one shot that Rafa played before he went out of the tournament. How greedy are we that we wanted more than that! And are you suggesting that ITV4 are not showing the most scintillating of the matches?!

I love his little Gallic shrug. Can almost hear him saying 'bof'.

He is playing extremely well- Nishikori looks a trifle unhappy. Michael Chang looks really fed up.

lucky bloody Shakira.

An actual Lego figure from a Lego convention (don't ask).

I guess it's Lego Andy....

It is really poor that so Itv didn't show Rafa- he played so well, almost back to his best, without great tweaks to his game. Even his serve improved.

FFS- even during the Gasquet match they need to go on about Murray.

He beat Richard from 2 sets down once apparently. Well, ooh la la
