Tennis - So long New York, Ciao Roma

*that

I would never try to explain anything from this thread to anyone

Come on Stan!

Me neither Jane - I still worry that I’ll call DH His Lordship one day and the whole story will come out

What a difference a beard makes.

Fizzy

Is that Travaglia? I was thinking he looked quite handsome on the telly!

Yes, me too!

2-2 in Stan's match

He definitely looks better with a beard.

Phew! that Stan is level.

And -oi, Rafa, don't start letting Travaglia win games.

vamos

Sorry Rafa but I’ve switched over to Stan - Gaston looks so young! He’s only just 20

He also has a break- Come on Stan!

I will stick with Rafa. Stefano has found his feet a bit more in this set.

I can't hear the name Gaston without hearing the song from 'Beauty and the Beast' in my head.

Oh bloody hell Stan

@Raahh

I can't hear the name Gaston without hearing the song from 'Beauty and the Beast' in my head.

Same

Eek Gaston is 3-0 up in the fifth - he’s playing really well. Poor Stan looks knackered!

The house is a tip and His Lordship is due home soon but the tennis is too interesting - I definitely need a Carson!

Oh Stan! Come on!

Is he good enough to trouble Thiem?

This is over surely - unless Gaston cracks under pressure of serving it out etc??

Can't believe it's Carson's day off Fizzy

Gaston, I mean.

I doubt it Raahh

Spidey - I know!

Can’t see Stan coming back from this - 5-0 down - also can’t really see Gaston troubling Thiem either but you never know.

Gaston is very strong looking but has such a baby face.

I can't believe this

It's crazy.

Oh Stan.

Wow! Of course he’s now known as the baby faced assassin!

Poor Stan but well done Gaston
