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

Hmm. This wasn't in the script, was it?!

Before the match Greg rusedski was implying that pella would be lucky to get a game

Come on Rafa!

I need to go out.

I can't cope with the stress.

vamos

I’m not enjoying it much either Raahh

Definitely not in the script. A break back here would be nice....
Greg hasn't been right all day

Ooh your wish has been granted mama!

Now he needs a easy hold......

Aw Diego Schwartzman is there watching - supporting Pella I guess?!

Come on Rafa! I keep forgetting that Pella is Argentinian - for some reason I thought he was Italian.

Xisca is looking effortlessly elegant as usual.

Pella let him off the hook there! V convincing tie break though.

I've just got back, phew!to the easy tie break.

Rafa still not really convincing - I’ve been looking forward to watching him and now I’m not really enjoying it

Hello all, haven't been on a tennis thread for a while!

I can't find any tennis on my Sky box - where are you all watching? Has it gone online?

Drama it's on amazon prime.

Oh thanks Raahh. Looks like I'll either have to watch it on my tablet which will mean I can't MN at the same time or persuade DH we need to upgrade the TV to one that has internet

Its on amazon prime.
I'm not enjoying the tension but I am the tennis, some amazing shots in the last few games.

drama my IPad will allow you to split the screen so I can watch and mumsnet at the same time

Wow that sounds clever!

The second set has been much closer than the score line suggests. Not sure if I dare risk a prediction but I think it might be ok. Pella has played really well. The commentators are admitting that they may have written him off a bit too soon.

Pella has really stuck with him - agree it's been closer than it looks from the scoreline.

Hi Drama hope you're well!

Phew!

Has the Amazon coverage improved? I don't see as many complaints as when they first got the tennis.

I think it has got better, in fairness. I still liked it better when it was on actual TV. Although I don't miss the betting ads!

That was a really tough match for Rafa, not much in it really. Glad he's through.

Our Fabio is up next!

I think the amazon coverage has improved Jane or maybe I’ve just got used to it. I find it annoying when there are a lot of matches going on eg in a slam and I can’t find the match that I want. That’s not so much of a problem with smaller tournaments.

Phew - yay our Fabio!

I'm great, thanks Private. You too, I hope?

I'll be even better if I can figure out Mama's split screen tip! I have a Samsung, not an iPad though. I'll be back in a minute when I've had a go...

mama thank you!! I've figured it out, never knew it could do that. It's really cool, actually
