Tennis Thread: who will (Arc de) Triomphe in Paris? It's going to be Eiffel-y exciting! The French Open is almost here!

[PrivateIsles]

Sorry, couldn't resist!

Bring on RG!

Oh no the Edmund/Chardy match has been suspended - the crowd aren’t happy.

Thiem is through then, Tommy rocked off, I see.

I am not surprised Serena has a cape. She thinks she a bloody Marvel avenger.

Who has had a baby.

Very disappointing about the Chardy/Edmund match.

Oh- they are showing her wearing her cape thing.

Yorkshire man asked her a question in the press conference.

She won't get the humour in him, as Sascha did.

Oh- they are showing Rafa bumping his head as he walked on court.

I really must try to watch some tennis tomorrow!
Looking at the results today, and following on from our recent discussions, there were some really odd scorelines, in both the men's and women's singles.....5 or 3 setters respectively but not even close within the sets, which were being won or lost 6-1 or 6-2. Weird

Did Rafa bump his head again? Does he never learn

I saw the Yorkshire man asking Serena a question about the cape - her response was completely humourless.

The weather forecast is not good for tomorrow - hope the Edmund/Chardy match doesn’t have to go into a third day.

There have been some topsy turvey score lines Kazza

Apparently her outfit has the words “mother, champion, goddess,queen” in french on it
Bitch stole my outfit

Jane - You crack me up!

Not much tennis for me I'm afraid today.
Fingers crossed for delpo later.

Delpo is warming up.

No offence, Cameron, but I do not want to be watching you.

My car has just passed it's m.o.t. In a year of rubbish, it is high spot. I feel I ought to celebrate this small victory. .

Argh.
Delpo is 2 games down already.

I have realised they will probably not change this match, as Norrie is playing Frenchman.

I mean , Zverev is also playing!

It is a bit annoying that there isn’t a choice of matches to watch - I would rather be watching Delpo.

Well done on the car Raah.

I’m off alpaca trekking in a bit - it’s on my 50th birthday bucket list. It’s only a local thing - I’m not going off to the Himalayas or anything

Should hopefully get to see some tennis when I get back.

I can't stop thinking about Serena's cape. Part of me really wants someone to have messed up the translation or swapped her cape with one that really says something like 'Teapot. Apple. Post box. Rabbit.'

Or

'Carlos Ramos . God of Umpires'

That sounds great Fizzy hope you have a lovely time.

Well done to your car Raahh

I'd rather watch Sascha and Milkman

'Carlos Ramos . God of Umpires' that would be brilliant. Unfortunately Selena is fluent in French

I love alpacas.

There were a couple at a farm my dad took me to last week for lunch.

jane I know, but it would be funny..

Oh bugger, it's raining.

Aww so cute. I follow some alpaca farms on instagram. I'm can't think if I've ever seen one in real life.

I worked with someone who thought alpacas were a type of handbag.

She was in her 40s, love her

Not able to watch at the mo but Delpo could have his work cut out v Jarry - he was in the Geneva final wasn't he - and had some good wins on clay this season.

PS just caught up on the alpaca chat

Have fun Fizzy

I had to go out.

Looks like Delpo must have whizzed through the rest of his match.
