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!

Wasn't that at Wimbledon ages ago Raahh? Pathetic for the commentators to bring that up.

What I remember most about that was how gracious Gasquet was- Murray whipped the crowd up and they were going crazy. As Gasquet went off he returned the applause of the spectators - and not in a sarcastic manner

"Well, ooh la la" = my new favorite saying. Especially with a Southern accent. Suits my mood today!

I love that video.

I think we got one shot of Rafa after one of his wins, and that was only because it made hot shot of the day on the RG youtube channel.

I'm still bitter, yes.

Lego Andy? Not with that smile...

The RG crowds this year seem to have decided they don't like Andy & Novak.

It amuses me greatly cos nothing seems to pee them off more than a booing crowd when they are winning a match.

His eyebrows are frowny, though -- it's more of a grimace, really....

Not that this match is so boring that I'm now, having done my paperwork, browsing Youtube, but has everyone seen ?

One of the things that made me love Andy a little bit more - he is in the audience having hysterics.

Perhaps that's why he doesn't smile.

Love the RG crowd cheering that Isner drop shot.

Its nice they made one with his Olympic present from Roger...

Drama

I win !

MrsV I couldn't keep up with you on the old thread, bloody pages were taking too long to load

I do love a thread that finishes off nicely at 1000 posts.

Are they really now giving stats based on the height of players Murray has beaten?

Me too.

I didn't think anyone else was taking any notice, only 8 posts to go, I felt sorry for it. .

We did it though, it makes sense. Sort of.

Oh that Mock the Week clip was funny!

Came across this recently, too -- liked it because it combined two interests, tennis and Scandi drama.

(tried to embed the clip. failed.)

Poor John. Murray too good.

Well, Murray isn't going break records for number if grand slams so making up a completely random record , just for him, sounds about right. 😂

Next it will be how many players with brown hair he has beaten.

Now, are they going to switch to a different match or will it be twenty minutes of verbally orgasming over Andy?

Like that, Barbara.

Oh, Febreze almost makes up for that appalling match.

Barbara I love that clip.

Poor John .

Johnny Mac & Co are just being mean about John Isner. I'd rather be listening to dubious Murray achievements than that.

Loving that gorgeous French accent...

MY PEOPLE. YOU ARE MY PEOPLE.

REJOICE !

Raahh and Queenie put your claws away.

The discussion of Murray, followed by videos of Murray, followed by repeats of Murray.

He beats tall people.

Shut up John !
