TENNIS THREAD -Sliding in the clay, on the journey to Roland Garros !

[Raahh]

Just had a slight panic when I saw the thread was nearly full.

I am now off to check the schedule properly- to see what I'll miss today

I was thinking that - this could be a GS final in a few weeks.

I was just checking twitter at the change of ends, and apparently in the earlier match, at one of the changeovers, Medvedev was pouring salt into his mouth straight from a salt shaker

I heard that Medvedev asked for salt but didn’t realise they gave him a salt shaker that he poured into his mouth Private - yuk - he was trying to prevent cramping.

I’m going to be in trouble with my mum (and I’m nearly 50 years old!)

Poor Rafa

Thiem played really well there, but I think if that had been best of 5 sets it could have been a v different story because Rafa kept looking like he was going to get back into it. Over 5 sets, he might have done it.

Hope you didn't get too told off Fizzy!!

Ah I love this thread where you can say what you like without being rounded on.

Unless you said you loved AC or something Jane - then we'd have to say something

PS I do quite love AC thanks to this thread!!

My work here is done

I have just seen AC described as smoking hot on another thread. Who wants to go over and say hello to Mrs. Castle?

Or maybe it was kazza under a name change?!

Sorry, just preped, cooked and eaten dinner, hence the delay but private Aaaarrgghhh!!!

Jane to be clear, the only way AC could be called smokin' hot is if he was on a spit over a bonfire

Now, back to my rosé

private yuk!!!!

kazza that really did make me laugh! Hope it didn't spoil your wine!

It takes a lot to spoil my wine esp as now watching The Importance of Being Earnest, with Colin Firth and Rupert Everett - classic wit, with two lovely chaps to look at

Who are these crazy people posting on threads about AC being smoking hot (and why is Jane always on these threads )

I do like a bit of young Colin Firth and Rupert Everett Kazza - hope I don’t get into trouble from the Thought Police for that.

Poor Rafa but Thiem did play very well - he was very confident and in control. Agree it might have been different over five sets.

why is Jane always on these threads that made me burst out laughing

Who do you think has aged well, and who hasn't? (just lighthearted thread)http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3570003-Who-do-you-think-has-aged-well-and-who-hasnt-just-lighthearted-thread
It's this one which also had a bun fight but I didn't get involved in it this time

Well done Jane I’ll go and check it out - not got to to the bottom of Ozzy Osbourne yet

Oh yes I meant to explain that to you Fizzy I posted this picture on yet another one of those threads about people who were surprisingly good looking when they were younger. Private wasn’t impressed but look how cute he was!
