Tennis - So long New York, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

Goffin is struggling against Sinner.

You'll be pleased to know, Azarenka has warmed up a bit, and is playing now. She's 4-1 up .

oof- Sinner won the second set 6-0.

Not looking good for Goffin.

Top player Dan Evans will be more suited to the weather.

Azarenka looks as if she’s got her thermals on

I know the Goffin/Sinner match isn't really living up to expectations, but I would like to see the end- rather than Dan Evans. Sorry Dan.

She was playing in a puffa jacket earlier, Fizzy. She couldn't get enough layers on.

It's Jim again!!!

They are a bit low on commentators, clearly, Jane. So Fabrice and Jim are doing all of it. .

With the odd bit from Sam Smith.

I think Fabrice is ready for lunch.

I think Jim and Fabrice had to run over to the Evans/Keith match - JC said he was out of breath but it’s not stopped him talking

I think they could have shown more of the Goffin/Sinner match - never thought I’d say that I’m missing Prime but at least they show all the matches

Looks as if Keith has been growing his hair over lockdown

Why have I only just noticed that Dan Evans has a beard?

It does look a bit chilly in Paris!

I read the other day, that to make things worse for them all, the weather over the next 2 weeks is going to be worse than it usually is for time of year.

Typical .

It certainly ain't Florida.

No, the effort of changing courts has done nothing to shut Jim up .

The crowd look like they're at a Gaelic match

It's a big contrast to Paris in Springtime, that's for sure.

Sinner has won. He is could be a big threat. I've decided everyone is a threat. Except Rafa. Because he is probably going to lose in the first round, and I will be very sad.

Mind you, the weather was awful during a lot of last year's tournament too- Djok had a lot to say about that at the time. But it was probably warmer, even if it was wet and windy.

Top player Dan is living up to his billing so far.

I think Rafa will at least get through the first round Raahh (hopefully!)

I see the funeral plan adverts are out already! Oh no PELATON!

I know .

SADDLE

I think Rafa probably will make at least a couple of rounds, Fizzy, I am just not feeling at all confident about this year.

Maybe 'Top Player' Dan Evans, will win it?

Anyone but Djok.

Keith should take up dancing.

Jim pointing out the bleeding obvious.

This set has definitely turned around then.

And it's 1 set all in Hamburg, and all square in the third.

Rain...

Bugger.
