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

[PrivateSpidey]

Couldn't think of anything witty. As usual

Well done Diego. Domi ran out of red bull steam. Domi is such a gentleman win or lose.

Wow - we’ll done Diego!

Don’t run away Bea - quite a few of us are Delpo fans as well

Thiem has been involved in 2 of the best matches this year- this one, and the Gaston one.

From a selfish point of view, this now means Dom can't go ahead of Rafa in the rankings. He could have done, if he had won the tournament.

Cheers John - I’ll have that glass of wine now

No one has volunteered to make tea here - DH claimed he didn’t know how to make pasta bake

We cheated- dh got KFC earlier.

I wanted Dominic to win! Marvellous match though.
Missed most of the 5th set thanks to family Zoom get-together. Didn't seem fair to sneak covert glances at score.

Get Mrs. Patmore to show him Fizzy

Trevisan's story is amazing.

I like having a Martina to shout for.

Yes I should do Jane

Mmm KFC sounds good!

Sadly, I can't eat anything from KFC, as I don't eat meat (don't like it) but do eat fish, so not a veggie really. So I have been eating lots of rubbish.

It's a stressful week, I don't care .

Thank you for the love 💗. So many typos in my post - now you see why I only lurk I need to admit glasses are required now when typing on phone.

Of the current youngsters - eg under 30ish I love Thiem, Zverev , Diego , Delpo - I could go on ....
Of the older bunch Rafa & Roger, Stan the Man

I DO NOT like Novak -he may technically be amazing etc etc but he is devoid of something

Anyhow not sure who I want to win the current match - all I know is that I really dislike Danielle Collins

for you all

I've decided to watch Bake Off with DD2.

She will have to watch a lot of tennis over the weekend, with no way to escape (assuming we have a tv on the ward). We didn't havde one last year, I spent a week watching Indian Wells at all hours of the night- on my laptop .

Oh, you are in good company if you dislike Djok.

i'm even starting to like Kyrgios, the way Novak has been carrying on. And that says something!

Oooo thanks for the bake off reminder 🙌

Of course someone called Stiffpeaks watches GBBO

I want to watch All Creatures Great & Small at 9 so I don't mind if this match goes on for a while.

Welcome to the jungle Sam

I was score watching - I see Swiatek has won.

Will they still go ahead with the Rafa match?

If Rafa can win in an hour and a half-ish like his last couple od matches, then fine.

But if this goes on hours, it is not good.

I mean, Sinner might take it to 5 sets!

Just turned it on and saw the match has finished. Marion sounds as though she's on speed! Could she speak any faster

Well, apparently Rafa is coming on imminently Raahh Thinking of you and your DD

Thanks, kazza.

I am unlikely to see all of Rafa. Unless it's over very soon .

Diego is lovely. They both are.

Time was not flying watching it, Dom.

Is it just me if do Rafas feet look small ?

Rafa to win please ? I have to adjust the colour contrast on my tv
