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!

X-post

That was quite good from AC!

The grass always looks strange at first after the clay.

Yes - it looks sort of fake

I missed the beginning, as I fell asleep.

And I have to go out in a bit.

Ahh, lovely Marin. And Garin .

Just seen the interview with Andy. Thought it was quite funny, esp the soft play areas and the Deliciano luurve

It's bad enough having to listen to you know who but seeing him aswell [yuk]
Liked the gentle put down by Lloyd to AC when AC said that Andy could play singles now and John pointed out the difference between singles and doubles

Garin is quite easy on the eye but I don't think he's going to be out there for long. Why couldn't one of the Brits been drawn against him, rather than the likes of Stan, Stefanos or Anderson

Btw, I'm now getting a Bookmark sign coming up at the end of every post. Is this new or have I hit a button by mistake and how do I get rid of it? IT-illiterate, as usual

I always used to be able to get up the bookmark thing.
But I don't remember where (memory like a sieve).

The bookmark thing has randomly appeared on my phone as well kazza I don't know why.

Ooh lovely Wayne Ferreira - used to love watching him. I think he was working with Kevin Anderson for a bit wasn't he - and now he's helping Marin. Cilic needs a confidence boost I think (and not AC making comments like how he managed to "nick" a Slam - err I think you'll find he won it fair and square actually AC )

Garin is quite fetching I must say but he looks a bit bemused by the grass. Whereas Marin is totally at home.

Btw I'd not registered it was Marin v Garin Raahh

Well done Marin - looking like that was going to go to three sets for a minute there - but he squeaked through!

El Peque up next for Cilic!

Argh they are showing clips of Anderson v Inser! Make it stop

There was a close up of the cabbage white!!

cabbage white

Yes, it's on my phone private so maybe I haven't done anything wrong
It's annoying though!

Just looked at Stan's instagram. He did a Q&A last night and someone asked him why he always has a red nose He answered with a picture of a clown

bit of a rude question

So, I missed most of this afternoon, saw some of the Cilic match when Garin seemed to have found his mojo.

Then saw the first game of the Anderson match which seemed to go on for ages .

I did notice the clip of the Isner match. Isner is a player I really, really cannot stand.

So, they are not showing the Simon / james ward match. In favour of Eggheads, which a a repeat.

Well that is just great.

Eggheads is this year's Our Girl

But they delayed Our Girl Private and it wasn't even a repeat!

I thought it might be on the red button but I have to retune them. A Rafa question on Eggheads

kazza love that

Jane yes true. It's a bit insulting to Ward/Simon - they can't even get a repeat of Eggheads delayed! It could be a decent match as well.

Shall I start a new thread or is someone else feeling imaginative?

I don't mind doing it...

Go for it

this way!
