Tennis - So long New York, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

I am glad Rafa is on soon- and hopefully without the roof- it looks sunny -ish in Paris.

I wonder when Marion's baby is due? She announced it in May, I think.

I think I remember reading she is expecting a girl, due near Christmas. But I could be wrong.

Stan's looking good again. He looks very relaxed as well. Great to see him playing like this - Staminal mode

Lol at the commentators saying he'd make a good lumberjack felling trees with his bare () hands (sort of like Captain America in Age of Ultron - ok they didn't say the bit about Captain America tbf )

I can't get used to Stan looking so smart is this the Muguruza effect?!

Oh are Stan and Muguruza still getting hot and sweaty together?

I like idea of Stan and Garbine.

I think they are but they haven't confirmed it.

Supersonic Stan

I wonder if Errani was confused because of Bertens' cunning disguise?

Bertens outfit is really not one you should choose for playing on red cla. Why did no-one think about it?

I see I haven't missed much in the Rafa match, he seems to be doing ok.

I see Azarenka is out. To be honest, she is probably shattered with all the tennis she has played over the past month.

And cold .

Underarm serve- cheeky bugger.

Bertens doesn't look good!

Oh, just seen how the Bertens /Errani match ended. I wonder what went on? And Bertens looks in terrible pain.

x post.

Errani didn't believe Bertens was injured!

Oh, is that what it was? Eek.

Errani had terrible problems with her serve and had to resort to underarm a couple of times just to get the ball into play. The whole match was very strange!

It sounds it. Looked very close at the end.

Apparently they also lost every game on serve in the final set!

Now that's nuts.

Vamos Rafa.

Errani/Bertens final set. They managed to hold serve for a couple of games.

Vamos Rafa!

Very up and down match then, Jane.
