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??

I was just watching that in my lunch break Raahh - it did take him a few goes!

Now I want to watch tennis all afternoon

Just catching a bit of Medvedev v Karatsev - it's only just started though. Watching with no commentary

That Giorgi match sounded good Raahh!!

Hope things are going ok with your Dad kazza

The Giorgi match was pretty epic- not surprisingly, Sorribes Tormo isn't able to keep up the same standard against Sabalenka, she about to lose there I think.

I started watching Medvedev/Karatsev- but I have turned over for Doctors .

I will keep an eye on the score.

I am having all sorts of problems pisting on the Doctors thread. All my posts ae taking ages to apoear, and then duplicate- or are just out of sync.

On the tennis front- we kind of knew Karatsev was going to be trouble for Daniil.

MN is on a go slow today. We had a beautiful sunny morning but now the rain is here. Keeping an eye on the scores. Glad to see Sascha won his match. Hopefully I will see Rafa later. Lovely to see ads for RG when I'm watching Emmerdale

I see Karatsev won, and Cilic lost. So did Serena, and Naomi. Sad about Naomi.

My Prime has gone off, and had better get it's act into gear before the Rafa match

pisting ? obviously meant posting.

Very 'Allo 'Allo.

(Mn is getting on my nerves this afternoon)

I thought it was a bit Allo Allo Raahh

Ooh RG adverts - does that mean John Inverdale though? Can’t wait (for RG not JI!)

Hoping that Rafa’s match isn’t too stressful - we don’t want him to do any more disasters!

Looks as if Rafa’s match will be on a bit later now - I think Berretini and Milman’s match will take longer than 40 minutes to finish

I should be sensible and prepare tea and stuff ... or I could just sit and watch tennis

I'm just watching Berrettini v Millman as well. Matteo is playing well.

Just put it on. It's been ages since I've seen Milkman and it looks like I won't be seeing him for much longer!

Matteo saying he hopes to play as well on Sunday

It's horrible not having the crowd again

I love Rafa's sweatshirt.

I did think Matteo was funny saying that, Jane.

I'm a bit nervous about this match- in the same way I was when he played Rublev in MC. .

The crowds are back tomorrow- that will be nice.

looks like Sinner did the right thing, putting Rafa in to serve first.

Vamos Rafa- or you'll end up losing before, you've begun!

Jannick seems to be doing all the running around.

I've only just realised it's started - was watching the doubles on the main "channel".

"pulsating contest" said in a voice that sounds bored to death

This umpire loves making much ado about nothing.

Oh dear- I am getting nervous now.

(Early days still, I know).

Jane I don't like her.

And no, they don't sound like they are thrilled by this match, really- although the more likely an upset is, the more excited they will get, no doubt.

She's the Patricia Carmichael of umpires

tool box?

shut up, you tool!
