Tennis Thread: it may be nearing the end of the season but no negative face! Still plenty to look forward to...

Couldn't resist!

Happy wedding day Rafa and Maria/Xisca!

Much better today, isn't?

They are going to try to big up the Grogor match, but I think Djok has just been having everyone on.

Can't disagree with your logic private

It's a shame the commentator isn't world class

Grogor ??

That's what I get for typing with a dog sat on my head.

That statement raises more questions than answers Raahh

I quite like the name Grogor

kazza Ike likes to sit on the back of the sofa, like a cat. Or a parrot. Sometimes to look out of the window, sometime just to squash the cushions I've just plumped.

He is neither a cat or parrot he is a dog. A mini schnauzer. He usually ends up leaning on me.

Ok. That's a bit better.
I was envisaging you sat bolt upright in a high back chair, typing away, whilst somehow balancing a labrador on your head

Or something like that

Just to carry on my non-jinxing there's no way Grigor will beat Djok. No way!

Nice message from Stan

Benoit also posted a message and I'm wondering if "un peu plus de chatte" means what I think it means?!

Erm, my 'A' Level rusty French does suggest that that means ewhat you think it means.

Benoit

Or maybe he is just buying lots of pets??

That is a nice message from Stan.

Now, Grogor might have a chance against Djok, but Grigor, nope .

Monfils is struggling against Shaggy.

Aahh, lovely from Stan

Oh here we go.

Rafa has never won in Paris indoors, and recently got married.

He must bore himself, surely??

Who is it who insists on calling Rafa, the Spaniard? Is it Inverdale?

Oh ffs- he's already repeating himself. This could be a long match .

Yes it is Raahh

At least we are spared him then, Jane.

Although this really isn't any better.

I do wonder why Inverdale does it, he does it in such a disparaging way.

Can he not pronounce Nadal, do you think ?

I think Monfils' loss means Berrettini takes the 8th spot in London now.

The arty tv is to take away from the boredom of listening to the commentary.

Unfortunately it doesn't really work.

The hows and wherefores of the WTFs confuses me so I just wait for the list to come out!

I was about to say Rafa was taking hold of the tie break, and he blew the break.
