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

Sorry, that was the best I could do!

I'm too nervous to watch Stan.

I really want him to win- but if this set goes to a tie break, then..

Oh, blow it!

oh heck. Fed has broken.

As I can't be near a screen, I'm catching up on yesterday's tennis podcast. The two things I enjoyed the most were:

1. Mary Carrillo calling Lenglen "Court Susie"
2. They confirmed that Simona was sitting in Delpo's player's box yesterday. The podcast team are going to look into it apparently . I'm waiting with bated breath, I think that would be just lovely!

Is there any tennis on yet btw?!

Oh ha sorry!! I didn't see all your actual tennis related posts! Do excuse my waffling on about nowt!

Fed is serving for the match private

Oh darn it

Come on the

Bugger! The wrong Swiss cheese won
Until Queens

Still- he made him work for it.

Merde

Exactement private

On Eurosport they are doing a Car share type thing- with a 'satnav' asking players questions.

At the moment, it is Henri Leconte.

It was Sascha earlier. .

Merde, indeed.

It's at times like this I wish I had Eurosport Raahh . Allez Henri

The weather forecast in Paris looks awful for tomorrow. They might as well start the other matches now

I just checked the scores and seen that both matches have finished

Well done Rafa - would have preferred Stan to win but looks as if he did well

Poor Stan

Hope Rafa thrashes Roger!

Well on paper... he should do.

I have high hopes for Zverev v Djok. Not that I really think Djok won't win. But I really want Sascha to give a good account of himself. If he isn't too distracted with all those pesky tasks he has to do of course.

Btw Jane I saw you filled up the old thread tbh I was expecting magi to pop up and do the 1000th post!

Oh btw, earlier, when I was starting the new thread and pondering the title, I was out in town and just sat down on a bench to type it out... And this random old guy came up to me and asked me if I wanted to buy a coat which I declined and made a sharp exit - so it's his fault I was rushed and there's no witty thread title (that's my excuse anyway).

Was v strange

It had to be done

Hope magi is ok

Private he must have been listening to Inverdale's weather chat! JI was talking about those days you think it will rain so you put on a coat but then it's really sunny so you end up carrying the coat around all day

Well it's certainly still raining here.

I have a very unimpressed dog.

Did magi say she was going to see her GDC? I'm sure she mentioned something about that. Hope all good with you magi if you're reading.

Jane yes he must have been taking advice from Inverdale

Anyway I couldn't have magi posting that photo again
