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

[PrivateSpidey]

Couldn't think of anything witty. As usual

I've been really impressed with Stefanos, even if he doesn't win. Coming back from match point down to get those next two sets - I mean, fair play to him. He's great to watch as well, I love the way he plays, he's brave, and he's not scared to take it to the top players.

Ok it mightn't work out tonight but he did really well. Especially considering he nearly lost in R1!

I've got some nice words for Djok

It has been a great performance from Stef.
He took himto 5 sets, and nearly 4 hours.

Stef played really well but Djok was just too good.

Why is he holding the bags?

Well done to both of them - great match - I had to avert my eyes from the Djok celebration. Here he comes with his perfect french - I prefer Rafa's!

I hope this doesn’t affect Stef the way that his loss to Stan did last year - apparently he was still crying in the hotel lift days after

It must be experience over 5 sets as well mustn't it - like how many times Djok played 5 sets vs how many times Stef has?

I see Fabrice has stopped translating the interview - leaving it to Cedric

Yeah Djok doesn’t want to hear about Rafa’s record at the french open!

Yes why is he holding the bags?? Good question!

I hope Stef doesn't feel too down about this, he shouldn't, he was great.

I remember after one loss (can't remember where) Stef went live in Instagram sitting in the dark playing music for ages and everyone was asking him if he was ok!

Bugger! Just caught up with the result.
What happened to Stefanos in the final set? Did he just run out of steam?

Stef makes me laugh (but glad he’s not my DS!) He should be proud of this performance - he played really well and really pushed Djokovic

John and Jim: Stop this conversation please

Sexypants

Sexy pants?

kazza yes kind of. Djok just stayed calm and "regrouped" (commentator speak). Stefanos looked pretty shattered at the end I thought.

I think I’ve watched enough tennis for today (and weird commentary)

Who's wearing sexy pants
Trust it's neither John nor Jim and certainly not Cock!

John was watching with two young women (presume his daughters) who call Tsitsipas Sexypants!

The nurse came and I got distra ted.
Sexy pants?! What did I miss

X post.

Stef will now be forever known as Sexypants (why didn’t we think of this?)

I need to change this channel!
