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

Hmmm sounds a bit dodgy to me

I rest my case

Oh dear- looks like things went a bit pear shaped for Bencic.

I like Halep though, and she like seeing her do well.

I still have no WiFi. And barely any data. You'll have to go on without me

oh no!

And Fed has taken the first set against Dom- come on Dom!

Not the start Dom would have wanted here, he's woken up a bit at the start of the second though....fingers crossed.

Oh no private I hope otherwise you're settling in ok though?

Uh oh....

phew! 1 set all.

Right, come on now, Dom

Dom did really well to get the second set - I still think he’s got a good chance of winning the match.

Whoop! Well done Dom.

Yay well done Thiem! I want to watch the other two matches but don’t think that will go down with the rest of the household.

Yay!

Cripes! (Sorry, a bit Enid Blyton there!)
Seems like a tussle, esp the tie break. What's the betting Dom gets stuffed by Djok in the semi, given he's had a tough match and Djok has been polishing his nails all day

Btw can't see Tsistipas playing his doubles semi in just over an hour when he's still got the singles quarters now

Wish I had whatever channel is showing this. Would love to watch Stan vs Rafa tonight. Go Stan [quick exit, stage right!]

Yay! Great result for Dom, I missed the end but hopefully can see some of the next two matches.
What is Sasha so annoyed about?

Mama he got a time violation but Tsitsipas was faffing about with his towel and stuff while Zverev was waiting to serve. I think Zverev was right to be annoyed about the violation and the referee should have shown some discretion.

Just seen your post Kazza - how very dare you!

Thanks Fizzy does sound a little harsh if it wasn't him stalling.
Some great tennis being played in this match.

Fizzy what post was that? The one about Djok polishing his nails?

Ooh, just looked at the scores - come on Stefanos

It was the Stan post Kazza - so far I’ve got away with watching the tennis - it’s been a very good match.

DS1 just put the amazon prime app on my phone - I think that’s a hint - who knew I could watch tennis on my phone!

Yay Stefanos!

Yay! Stefanos!
