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 Paloma doesn't try walking on the court in those shoes.

My thoughts exactly I don't know how she walks in them anyway!!

I'm watching Rafa-Djok now - Rafa is bossing it already.

Vamos!

I had a very bad a evening/night- and missed most of Euroovision.

But I have managed to get Prime working - told dd2 My Little Pony is broken is on a break, and I'm putting off the ironing.

But I have got a headache, so- Vamos make this quick- I don' t need any more stress! Rafa.

6-0!

Revenge for Melbourne is looking sweet.

Rafa’s just bagelled Djok! Djokovic obviously tired but vamos Rafa!

Sorry to hear about your headache Raahh - hopefully this will be a quick match.

I'm in the middle of nowhere in Croatia trying to check the scores - and finally some good news! Vamos Rafa! Another bagel set please

Bloody hell Rafa

I wonder if Djok's wishing he'd let Delpo or Diego have a crack at Rafa instead, to keep the mystique for RG?!

Never mind eh!

Sounds lovely mama!

Hope you're ok Raahh - maybe Rafa will make your headache go away?! Fingers crossed.

Guga's there I see - a sight to brighten any day!

I have just been explaining to Dh who Guga is , Private. One of my all time favourites, just great to watch .Plus- hair .

Oh he's lovely Raahh! Yes to the hair! I also remember he had that great single hander backhand which was amazing. I feel like he wasn't so well known here though because he never did well at Wimbledon (possibly skipped it sometimes as well?!). It's a shame really.

They're just saying Djok has a 2-1 lead this set, but isn't it just on serve??

Private I know suddenly it's all about Djok, all of a sudden.

The commentary is annoying.

Venus is soooo much nicer than Serena

They only asked Kim yesterday if she would play! Wonder if someone else pulled out.

Yes it is just going with serve - although normal Djokovic seems to be coming back a bit - he did the really wide mouth shouty thing (ugh!)

Guga always seems so happy although I don’t think anyone could be grumpy with that hair

They have barely mentioned Rafa at all. Are they all on Djok's payroll?

Funny when they mention the scoreline at the end of the last game and failed to mention the 0-6 he lost the first set by- which were it the other way around, I'm quite sure they would.

Didn't Kim play when they did the Centre Court roof event as well? Love her - I've recorded so looking forward to watching it at some stage!!

Meanwhile in Rome - yes ugh to the wide mouth shouty thing!!

Yes Raahh didn't anyone tell you - the first set is void apparently

Raahh if it was the other way around that's all that would be talked about I'm sure.

We would never have heard the last of it if Rafa had been bagelled - a bit like the list of people that he’s lost to at Wimbledon

Djok got off the hook in that game - come on Rafa!

Ah Fizzy - not long to go until we hear The List again!!

Are they blaming the shadows now ? !

Nope- I await the list. .

It's like Arya's Kill list on Game of Thrones.
