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??

Oh- they are going in

I'm glad Rafa got his match out of the way.

Well done Rafa. I had to do my shopping so didn't see much of the match.

Seems to be a long rain delay.

I saw them take the covers off the centre court- and then put them back.

But the Barty/Gauff match is playing?

I really like Coco's kit.

It does seem slippery on the court though.

What happened? Is Ash injured?

I'm waiting for my vaccine and score watching. Ash had just won the set when I left.

I can't find out what happened

Oh the men are back! Stef got the first set. Yay!

It's still raining though!

Come on Stefanos!

Aargh another rain delay. Djok doesn't look happy having to hang around.

I'm all jabbed up.

I was very excited to see the score- and then next tome I looked it was suspended again.

• time

I still haven't found out whst happened to Ash.

Oh- arm injury. I did notice she had strapping on her arm.

I wonder what time they decide there is no more play due to rain?

I don't know Raahh. Apparently rain is forecast for all night now. The commentators were cross that they didn't recommence sooner as it was fairly dry earlier.

Wish they'd hurry up and either call end of l
Play today or get them back on.....
Surely though they won't let the sonego match start?

Oh no the covered up court looks really sad

I thought I’d get to see loads of tennis today but haven’t seen hardly any! It will be tight fitting all the matches in tomorrow if they don’t play again tonight (at least Rafa has played his match)

That’s sad about Ash Barty - hope she’s ok

I still don't understand why Ash and Coco played for quite a while, after the men went off.
It's a worry for the women- Ash injured, and Simona yesterday(?).

I am just settling in to watch the end of the Stef match ( although I really should get dressed).
I just hope that the change in the weather doesn't mean tat Djok races out of the gates from the start.

I want to watch the Sonego/Rublev match too.

There's too much going on. .

Ugh- this is where Djok breaks back, isnt it?

I'm starting to think deusces should be banned

Oh crap.
