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

[PrivateSpidey]

Couldn't think of anything witty. As usual

Yes Jane I had to switch over to Gardeners World for something more wholesome!

DH has been watching Gardener's World. I glanced up towards the end and Monty Don was holding his new Yorkshire Terrier under his arm, like a man bag

All set for the Women's final.
Cards on the table!
Having been a Federer fan for so long, with a heavy heart I know it's getting towards the time to pick a successor. I am having trouble deciding between Tsitsipas and Thiem.

I got no sleep at all last night, so with my luck I will fall asleep watching this match.

I'm not heavily invested in the outcome- Kenin has a slam already, I realky like Swiatek. So I will go with Iga. Which means I have probably jinxed her.

Some decent sleep will be what you both need Raahh. Hope DD is comfortable.

I wanted Kenin to win earlier matches but it would be marvellous to see the Polish player win today. Go, Iga. (That's both of us jinxing her).

Some big hitting. I like Kenin, she's like a female Ferrer.

Having a wee John!

🙄 Silly billy!

I am hoping that is Swiatek wins, she will tell the commentators howher name is actually pronounced. It gets pronounced half a dozen different ways a match!

The way her shorts are in the middle of her kneecap is annoying me. It looks really uncomfortable.

I don't understand Sam's pronunciation at all. She adding in a whole bit!

Think it's ShveeANtek?

Jane she definitely seems to add a syllable.

And of course you can't do all that much in 3 minutes, Djoko's physio is obviously a miracle worker.

He sure is Donkeys

Djok is the Lazarus of the tennis world. His physio is the actual Messiah.

Jelena, and another member of Djok's team have been heavily criticised not wearing masks/ wearing them hanging off.

A member of the public would probably have not been admitted to the stadium without a mask.

This is not quite what I expected.

Wow oh wow

What a lovely disposition she has shown all tournament

Chuffed for her , hope Kenin goes well at next Australian open

Ah bless her! well done Iga

Well done Iga. Not the most exciting final. I don't think Kenin was firing on all cylinders.

I miss the "chat" that the men have eg Rafa, Federer, Thiem & Xverev etc mind you I expect not many women in the tour have had a chance to meet her

I am glad she won. Not just because she is a Rafa mega fan..

She is really lovely, genuinely so pleased to have won.

Just give her the trophy!

Mary Pierce is looking well.

Yes Mary looks great!

I saw none of the match - tuned in and the trophy ceremony had started!
