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

[PrivateSpidey]

Couldn't think of anything witty. As usual

I only knew of Swiatek from her match at RG last year really. Halep served up a masterclass. Iga returned the favour this year year. She had some good results got quite far in Australia, iirc.

Donkeys I know! Such an inconvenience .

I like zigs from seeing her earlier matches this tournament , nothing against the Argentinian do either good but expecting Iga from how she played against Haley and then the Quslifier

No, nothing against Podosroska.

They've both done really well.

Podoroska g as got a lovely dress on - very smart and flattering

I was distracted by some players' necklaces the other day, great big gold chains they were wearing. Our games teacher would have had a fit.

Donkeys the worst offender for wearing big medallions is Sascha Zverev. How he doesn't knock himself out playing, I will never know.

Well done Iga.

Poor Podoroska couldn't really get into it.

Was it Zverev Donkeys? I always think health and safety whenever I see his chains and medallions flying about when he’s playing!

Ah, quick victory.

There were two men, yes one could well have been Zverev.

Novak cancelled his practice??

. The cynic in me thinks mind games, Jane.

When Djok does his injury/trainer crap tomorrow and then he's getting into his stride Stef should take a nice long time out for his eye which looks genuinely sore.

Jane definitely- his eye did look sore. Very red.
Two can play the trainer game Novak.

Kvitova 'finding the answers' in commentators' parlance.

Kenin is looking unstoppable here.

Wow!

I really wanted Kvitova to win.

I jinxed everyone I liked in the women's draw. So now I'm saying nothing.

It's going to be a good final.

But Raahh you had the online parents evening thingy at 5pm, so you took your eye off the ball {groan}. And Petra missed your support. That's how it works.

I FORGOT the parents evening!

(Mainly because 3 people rang me in a row)

I don't think it was working anyway- and she is putting it on a powerpoint.

Raahh

I'm getting nervous about Rafa already.

I am too.

The weather will play a part. It looks like it will be raining when he is due to play. This could help, if they close the roof. He has managed with it closed so far.

Weather is better when Djok is playing- but it's probably still windy- I bet they keep the roof shut (despite keeping it open when it was freezing/midnight when Rafa played).

Maybe Djoko is preparing for an acting career after tennis.

Donkeys last night's performance was Oscar worthy.
