Tennis - So long New York, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

Rafa has put the video of him losing his French in his post match interview from yesterday. The translation is also a bit of Rafaese - he lost inspiration from his Frenchman

He is very funny. And knows how to laugh at himself, which is rare amongst certain top players .

Rublev was looking very good in his match - Kevin wasn't anywhere close to his best, but Andrei is really peaking at the right time, this year.

I had a feeling the Busta match was more likely to go the distance. When i saw that RBA was two sets down, I did think things would turn around. He is not a player who is afraid of come backs. .

Pablo looks very determined but Roberto doesn't give much away.

What the hell was the violation for?

Oh, his spitting.

Even when he's getting accused of unsportsmanlike conduct

Jane no, he's quite laid back. No shouting, like Djok would be.

I hate people spitting. Some footballers make me heave.

I think I jinxed RBA.

But I am growing to like Pablo.

Did Roberto's wife have a baby recently?

This Daniel is a cutie!

Jane she did- a few days after he left the US.

Also called Roberto.

Jane he is nice, and very polite, saying he was pleased to meet Fabrice .

So many upsets this year. But it is very interesting.

(Seb Korda doesn't have to join the upset group though, against Rafa).

how original.

It's nice to see some new players about. Another Daniel playing Djok later. Come on Daniel!

Sam agrees that Lenglen today is more interesting than Chatrier.

Stef was playing really well, but Bedene has retired injured.

Bedene looked way of this depth didn't he

Majestic he did.

Tig was doing a lot of shouting at someone in the crowd.

That was funny

Who's making a new thread?

Ah go on then Jane it's ages since I've done one so I will.

Oh, go on Private.

I was not paying attention. And gobsmacked by the Kvitova scoreline. So didn't realise we were at the end of the thread!
