Tennis - So long New York, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

His mask has a silhouette of himself on.

Straying into Djok territory, Rafa. .

Eek. Gerasimov has a pretty big serve.

Rafa and his towels!

I am disturbed by the fact his head band does not match his wrist bands.

Broady is doing well. I should really support him, as a local bloke- he's escaped the Stockport lockdown, anyway .

Rafa is usually so colour coordinated! Yes not sure about his geometric opponent

It doesn’t look quite as cold today - less players dressed as Nanook of the North!

Come on Rafa - I missed his mask at the beginning

It's all a ploy to distract his opponents

I don't think I've see Egor play before. Not that long ago he would have been retired by 27.

Jane it's nuts, isn't it?
It's Federer's fault. He just won't go away, so everyone else is sticking around as well .

Vesely

Oh, Broady has lost. He's best off staying in Paris. Though I think it's warmer here today, to be honest.

Relentless perfection sounds good to me. Keep it up Rafa!

Yes we'd all like to go and see him play. Now shut up about it. We can't go anywhere!

Hmmph. I do not like the closed in court.

I am being as moany as Jim.

Bublik is wearing white leggings I think . Not a good look. Bit like a male ballet dancer.

Sneak in as a steward

Oh yes, just like that, I will nip to Monte Carlo. .

I can't even afford to re-new my passport, John, never mind a trip to Monte Carlo .

Yes, sneaking in won't get you into any bother whatsoever. .

Mind you two Irish lads managed to get into the superbowl without tickets a few years ago!

Ouch!

Oh dear. Obviously, he wasn't likely to win this match, but I don't want him injured.

Oh heck, Muguruza.

Well, at least he has got is first win under his belt. So that's good.

Well he will have, in a bit.
