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!

He heard you, Private

Thiem is in control in his match- they aren't really giving Karen much hope of turning the match around.

It was sadly a Val free episode- but I think she is back with her cat (Geoffrey) tomorrow Private

glad to hear it!

Sascha - don't get into these long rallies!

You don't have time, for one thing. Think of that To Do list!

yes, he's probably got to get a wash on.

He needs to just concentrate on getting his serve in. It's his main hope.

Oh no. Come on Sascha! He needs a tiebreak at least!

Remember in the WTFs when he was serving all those aces?? Where are they now?

Damn.

I think John needs to remind us again, what time is Konta's match tomorrow?

I am sick of the resurgent Djok.

He needs to go away again.

And no- he did not win at Queen's, ffs. Cilic did.

Oh dear. This could all fall apart horribly here for Sascha. Djok is looking perky again.

isn't he?

Sascha does lose focus very quickly , once it starts to waver.

The last time I looked at the scores, Zverev was serving for the first set. I check now and he's lost four straight games. How?
Can Djok not lose a contact lens or something......?

Karen is doing better- but really, we need Thiem to win it. Someone has to be able to beat Djok.

Thiem has been a bit low profile so far hasn't he (apart from the Serena/press conference thing of course). I still have hope for him beating Djok! If they both get there that is. Domi is about to serve for the second set...

Come on Sascha!

Oh come on! Novak really needs to go away, unfortunately sascha is looking a little out of ideas here

He is. I can't see him coming back from this but I hope I'm wrong!

Thought Sascha had a chance in the first set but not looking good for him now - yes go away Djokovic - do some knitting!

Hopefully Thiem can stop him if it comes to that.

I've just seen some footage of The Beardy Bunch playing Monopoly

Sounds like fun

oh Djok is cross.

Sascha looks a bit baffled.

And Thiem is through.

ugh.

Squandering so many chances.
