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!

Apparently this has been a captivating match.

I WOULDNT KNOW NICK. WE WERE BORED SHITLESS.

Gasquet is a joy to watch. In terms of sheer natural tennis talent, he's right up there; just behind Fed, IMO.

Ooh, who did Mac fall out with at the Beeb?

I'd go deep deep deep with Richard...

Dunno, Creme but he must have done. Did hardly any coverage last year.

Maybe he slagged Tim off ?

Allez ! He breaks !

Oh, there's plenty of strop stored for Novak. And he would understand - it's a normal Novak-induced strop with lashings of time-of-the-month hormones to give it extra vim and vigour. So it's FINE if I completely lose it with him.

Can you let me know when you're going to blow ? So I can run for cover.

TheOnly is making me smile.

Richard has only gone and broken in the first game?! I wouldn't know, because I was watching insurance ads!

This is lovely. I do like Richard. How cool if he could win it all.

Richard's playing brilliantly !

What I love about Gasquet is that he just looks like a normal bloke who you can imagine - ahem - spending time with who just happens to be playing world class tennis.

Novak looks like a machine who would excommunicate you if you suggested going for a coffee and croissant. HOW DARE YOU POLLUTE HIM WITH ALL THAT CAFFEINE AND FAT!

Queenie

Yy. Completely.

I like to hear Gasquet speak English. And hit backhands, of course.

I love the way Rafa talks. I could just squeeeeeeze him.

.....between my thighs....

Is Djokovic still gluten-free? I got SO bored of hearing about it the year he started it.

Still gluten-free, and possibly vegan.

MrsV

A dull boring void of nothingness.

Bland.

I don't think Djokovic eats at all. I think he just absorbs nutrition through some advanced technology only he has access to. It's deeply unsexy.

Yy to loving hearing Rafa talk. His English is so beautifully Spanish.

Not me, you understand, Novak.

Raahh [wank]

Just actually screamed with fright at the reaction of Gasquet's -coach? to that game.

I teach lots of international students: love the Spanish and Italian-accented English.

Ah, the Eastern block way of getting 'nutrition' ?

Got ya.

I bet he doesn't read his emails too.

Bruguera looks like he eats puppies for breakfast.

The vommenators are closet Kei fans, aren't they? They have been certain he was going to be the next big thing for ages.
