TENNIS THREAD- The Clay season continues- onwards to Paris, via Madrid and Rome...

[Raahh]

and a few smaller tournaments in between....

The big question at the moment is- will Medvedev ever win a match on clay??

Was that Highway to Hell?

Strange choice

Matteo's hat is making me think I could really do with a red bull right now.

Raahh I don’t really enjoy watching crowd less tennis - it always seems a bit flat

And why do I not get toddler vibes from him, the same way I do with Isner and his backwards hat?

I just don't like Isner, do I ?

Fizzy it really does lack something. At least it had commentary- though sometimes, lack of commentary is not a bad thing .

Come on!

If I was Sascha I'd hit the ball straight at those two in the crowd who keep moving.

Yes!

All square- it deserves to be a 3 set match, this.

Sascha isn't making things easy for himself or me.

He isn't , is he?

But he has the break.

What is Robbie wittering about?

Bloody Prime thinks now is a good time to start playing up

Oh no Jane - hope you managed to see it - - well done Sascha!

Well, he's won- and bar the odd blips- it was a well fought final, I think .

Well done Sascha.

Well done Sascha. Wish I could say the same to Amazon. I knew he had won from FlashScore before I saw it on screen.

Matteo is so pretty.

Not showing Sascha's speech

That’s a shame Jane I usually like Sascha’s speeches

Evo’s got an early start in Rome at 9am (our time) against Taylor fritz. Benoit also has a 9am start - can’t see that going down too well!

I've just got back from the school run/ walknig the dog, and noticed the matches had already started Fizzy.

I think we can imagine Paire's excuses if he loses- match too early/no atmosphere blah blah /thanks for the cash...

His beard will hardly have time to wake up properly and be suitably coiffed!

Unfortunately, it looks like Dan is half asleep aswell. Score watching - he was 3-2 up with a break, next time I look, he's lost the first set 6-4

kazza I imagine it takes a long time to 'do' Paire's beard .

It's not going well for Dan. Robbie has apoligised for the language a couple of times.

Hopefully- Fritz can beat Djok next round (if Dan doesn't come back)- he might be holding a grudge over the match in Melbourne and Djok's 'injury' shenanigans.
