I have to say, Rafa's top is looking a little creased in a Stan like way. Grin

mama1980 · 29/05/2019 11:50

Vamos it's Rafa time - and he's making a much better start Grin that shirt is seriously bright though!
Glad to see tsisipas is coming back too.

Raahh · 29/05/2019 11:57

Yes, seems a lot more confident a start to day. And the yellow looks much brighter Grin.

The bloke the other day was a bit of an over cocky one- he really did think beforehand he stood a chanceGrin. Was a bit deflated afterwards. Poor other Yannick. Grin.

And yes, phew! Stefanos !

Bye! Bye ! Grin Fabrice Grin

Raahh · 29/05/2019 12:01

Oh, ffs.

Even here there they are invoking the 'list'.

Dustin Brown beat Rafa on grass, he wouldn't have a hope in hell on clay. In fact- they've only ever met twice- on grass.

Raahh · 29/05/2019 12:07

Bananaman Grin

JaneJeffer · 29/05/2019 12:08

I love when Rafa gives the crowd the evils for making noise Grin

JaneJeffer · 29/05/2019 12:11

Well done Yannick. That will do.

Raahh · 29/05/2019 12:15
Grin

He's not a fan of noise, RafaGrin.

Raahh · 29/05/2019 12:16

ooh, Vamos . That's a good start .
I'm not interested in 5 set epics where Rafa is concerned.

Not at this stage, anyway Grin.

Fizzywinegum · 29/05/2019 12:23

Can’t believe I’m missing Rafa’s creased shirt and banana man - I’d forgotten about him!

Who would have thought that Rafa would be playing two German players called Yannick in a row.

Tsitsipas seems to be having a bit of a topsy turvey match.

Raahh · 29/05/2019 12:24

Fizzy he does.

I think Rafa is treating this as a bit of a practice session Grin.

Raahh · 29/05/2019 12:27

The commentators have now resorted to discussing his time keeping. Despite the fact he is clearly winning and not exactly taking forever.

But they can't help themselves. They have to criticise him for something.

Raahh · 29/05/2019 12:30

Funny- they are now talking about the questions Fabrice will ask Rafa when he wins the match.

Not giving poor Yannick a hope of winning this then Grin.

JaneJeffer · 29/05/2019 12:43

This is fun!

Raahh · 29/05/2019 12:59

oh, I took my eyes off the results- but I see Stef has gone through.

Raahh · 29/05/2019 13:38

Flip sake, Rafa!

Raahh · 29/05/2019 13:48

Phew! Took your time at the end, there Rafa.

JaneJeffer · 29/05/2019 13:49

Leave Rafa's routines alone.

Yannick played well.

JaneJeffer · 29/05/2019 13:53

That's the question! After all the build-up!

Raahh · 29/05/2019 14:02

I missed the questions turned over to doctors.

I bet Rafa gets Fed up of the same old boring questions. And is too polite to tell Fabrice to get lost.

kazzaD66 · 29/05/2019 14:12

Just got in to see the last couple of questions from the lovely Fabrice. Did someone say he's coaching someone now, or am I making that up? Confused
I liked Rafa's recommendations for tennis and life Grin

Hope to watch a bit of Jo-Willy whilst eating lunch and catching up on some of the scores.

JaneJeffer · 29/05/2019 14:12

They just asked him what advice he had for children who were watching and hoped to win RG one day. He said just to do their best each day.

Raahh · 29/05/2019 14:24

Just turned over to see Keith in his Bertie Bassett top. I actually prefer his outfit to the dull brown of Fed's, I've decided.

I really wish Cilic/Dimitrov match was showing.
Sad

JaneJeffer · 29/05/2019 15:08

I don't like Roger's. it's very dull.

kazzaD66 · 29/05/2019 15:15

Shame that Jo-Wilfred lost. I'm sure he was 3-0 up in the 4th set, I went out to make a couple of coffees, came back in and he was 5-3 down Hmm

Now bigging up Federer. Remind me again how many times he's won it Hmm And what the hell is he wearing? I actually quite like the colour - I have some soft furnishings that shade (is it otter?) - but it doesn't work as a tennis outfit Grin

Oh God, it's Courier Angry
