Tennis Thread: it's been a Seine-sational first week in Paris! Now who will lift the trophies? The French Open continues...

[PrivateIsles]

Sorry, that was the best I could do!

Right. It's raining. Jo played in the wind and rain.

How long will the men put up with it?

Djok is already moaning.

kazza you're right, he does go on.

Only Frew can rival him , for an anecdote.

I meant to post this the other day. Looks like they were going to snatch the trophy and bundle him into the back of a car!

They do look very menacing , don't they ?

It's almost begging for someone to photoshop 'HELP' over the trophy.

'Zis is where we bury zee bodies'

I hope he's not flying home. Bit heavy for hand luggage.

Anyway.

Break for Dom!

See- Djok is whinging.

The women can play through a storm, but not Novak.

From what Jim is saying, Novak is a cheat.

This is painful to watch for me 🤦‍♀️, there is no match so far, just Thiem dominating

Jim Courier reminds me of the boring priest from Father Ted - just blathering on seemingly to himself in a monotonous voice.

Fizzy

Oh, it's that biased wind again.

It seems to be only affecting Djok .

what's your favourite humming noise? Not Courier that's for sure!

Has the wind got worse since the first match?

Going a bit off piste, but for those watching ITV, what the hell is that woman's voice for the Viking River Cruises ad?

Well done Dom!

Yay! Dom!

I'm not sure- it was very, very windy and wet when Konta was playing. They played on through it.

They did comment that the sunken court would shelter them a bit more than on Chatrier, but they were pretty battered.

It's a strange accent, isn't it. kazza.

Veers from Scandinavian, to somewhere in the North East of England. .

Well, Djok has just won his serve to love, so let's hope it's not going to be another quick turn around in form, which we've seen so many times before with him when he's looked down and out!

Now, if this was Serena, or maybe Monfils, I'd expect to see them win the next set at a gallop, having just given up on the first set when it didn't go their way in the first few seconds.

But I think Djok is just cross with himself, and all around him. And could lose because of that.

Thiem is admirably ignoring him.

Oh, I remember the training stories .

bit of an xpost there, kazza

It's almost as if she's putting it on for comedic effect Raahh

Off to pick up DS now

DD2 is still off school, and dd1 said she would walk home.

Yesterday it took an hour and a half because her friends spent ages buying food on the way home..

She has just texted and said it could take even longer today .

Jane

Just score watching for now but come on Thiem - hope that Djok self destructs.

That alarm is annoying.

That's always on during Midsomer Murders
