Tennis thread: French Open second week and all your autumnal tennis chat - this way!

[PrivateSpidey]

Couldn't think of anything witty. As usual

It's nearly 4 and a half hours now.

And it could still go to a 5th set.

It's getting Isner-like.

It could still be going on for hours.

I'll need a nap before Rafa comes on.

I will take this moment to remind you all- there is no tie break in the 5th at RG.

Should we get that far.

No nails left.

Who do you want to win Tonight?

I think I need wine but it might make me sleepy!

Oh yes no tiebreak in the fifth - it really could go on for hours

Wow

Flipping heck.

At what point do they realise Rafa playing today just can't happen, roof or no roof.

It's not the same as Melbourne, or the US where players know their match is a night match, in advance, and that there is the possibility of playing til late.

Fizzy the vodka is calling me.

But I will fall asleep if I have a drink now.

I am unlikely to be awake if Rafa plays anyway

There's no way both matches can go ahead.

I’ve just broken the news to DH that there’s no tiebreak in the fifth set - he’s not happy

I also can’t see how Rafa can play tonight

Thiem. Got to admire Diego's grit though.

Jane it's barmy.

Fizzy when I remembered, I thought 'they will still be playing at midnight'

At Wimbledon, there is a curfew of 11pm that they can't go over (even with the roof)- I wonder what 'rules' they have in Paris?

Paris doesn't do rules

Donkeys it's going to be crushing for whoever loses. I'm team Thiem too.

I’m not really sure who I want to win - I’m usually Team Thiem but admire Diego’s grit. Will be sorry to see anyone lose this match

Jane’s right - there are no rules in Paris so no curfew

No, I had a feeling it might just go on. And on.

But honestly, I still don't see how Rafa can play tonight.

Longtime lurker who loved all of you from afar. - I think Dons experience will take him through but I'm team Diego as in my heart he is mini Delpo and also in case none of you listen to he commentators Domi won something recently

Disappears to hide

I won't mind if Diego wins because whoever wins is hopefully playing Rafa next so I'll want them to lose then anyway.

Hi Bea thanks for the love no need to hide.

Bea don't hide!

And yes, I heard somewhere that Dom might have recently won something .

As a fellow angry pixie shorty, I'm going for Diego today.

eek.

Vamos Diego!

But poor Dom.

They are such good friends- I love the sportsmanship.
