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 hope they're not into tennis or it will be very confusing on here

Raaaaaah! Grrr!

It would definitely get messy.

Argh that's so annoying Raahh! And also a bit weird - hopefully just a coincidence.

Just watching Delpo and Djok warming up. The commentators (probably that clueless Val again ) have written Delpo off before the match has even started

I hope he proves them wrong.

Hope you're having a nice birthday Fizzy!

Poor clueless Val

closes all open tabs

I truly hate those "serve placement" graphics. I literally don't care. Go away

I hope that Val isn't at RG

VAMOS Delpo!!!

She probably likes beards. And picnics.

Raahh at least it was only us so nbd. Not like excitedly posting news of Delpo's comeback on a chat thread!!

That's what I told them, on the Doctors thread

Delpo is saying something to the ump but they were speaking in Spanish (Carlos Bernardes - he seems to have umpired every match I've seen this wk) so I don't know what it was about. The surface maybe...

I'm sure Val will let us know

Val speaks mainly cat.

(Should Raaaaaah or anyone else for that matter stray onto this thread they will be wondering - WTF??)

Is the surface still slippery?
Maybe his chair is broken. It might be the one Nick threw.

I'm sure many people look at this thread and think WTF are they on about I thought it was a tennis thread!

Djok looks mad. I think it is the surface that they're on about.

Ooh Delpo just broke serve!! Hammered a couple of FHs in that last rally. Vamos Delpo!

Yay!

Would be awful if Djok hurt himself...wouldn't it.

Set to Delpo- yay!

Yes Delpo! A bit nerve wracking serving for the set & Djok had a couple of break points - but he held on. Delpo's really fired up.

Just got back from a nice meal out and seen that tennis is still on - I’m allowed to watch it cos it’s my birthday

Come on Delpo!

Quite right too Fizzy!

I just turned my back for 5 mins and Djok has the break in set 2 - typical. I wonder if Delpo is going to start running out of gas - lack of matches starting to catch up with him??

Delpo's shots have gone all wild - he's hit it into the stands twice in the last few points. There've been some bad bounces - the court looks all churned up.

Delpo had the trainer on. But now he's gone again without doing anything

Perhaps JMDP just fancied a chat?!
