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!

Oh, yes- Forget will definitely find himself in the Holding cell for a bit .

thrifty headstone
That could be part of the Fun Death ads.

Aw I love Rod.

I'm not implying the French are simple- though I realise that's what I wrote .

You know what I mean

Poor Dom.

Never mind- Federer had to sit through this 4 times

I get you. Classic and timeless

Domi is lovely as well. He has been brilliant this fortnight. He'll win it one day surely.

Ok I’m not missing Inverdale any more - he’s driving me nuts already!

Classic! That was the word I was looking for!

Fizzy it was bound to wear off!

I like how they play the anthem. I think the other slams should as well.

You know, I'm sure the anthem hasn't always been a 'thing'.

He's got very lustrous hair, Domi, hasn't he?

x post .

Dom did well- that first set was great.

I'm not even sure, had he not played for the last 4 days, it would have made all that much difference. It wasn't fitness that let him down in the end. Rafa just did what Rafa does.

I was wondering that about the anthem. I like it though.

I am so very pleased! Well done Rafa!
Plastered his hair down nicely I see. Poor Thiem though - clearly gutted.

I do think it's difficult for the losing player to stand there so long.

Look at all those people.

They are only there to see Roger, though.

I love Rafa's speeches. . So fragmented .

Lovely speeches from both of them - Rafa’s French - so sweet.

Yes being a nice person is important.

Aww that was lovely. Domi is good people I love how Rafa always emphasises that that's the most important thing!

Well done Rafa, although you should have sung the national anthem in front of your ex-king

And Jim rambles on and on and on

I know no one is interested but Evans won Surbiton

Aw yes - he's a very good human person
Thy both are!

Eh kazza just as I predicted!!

Where's that cushion Jane ?

'good human person'

Kazza

Love the way Fabrice sidled in

Just reading on twitter a reminder that Rafa's got more RG titles than all Borg's titles put together. It's a bit mad isn't it?!
