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??

Oops

Speaking of Stan , I wonder if he sent Andy a for the new baby? They won't be able to move for big bears in their house.

Djok is playing too well!

If only we could re-wind to a few points on the Stef match.

I've a feeling this might be a disappointing match.

Come on Sonego!

He went to Vienna for the points. Everyone knows that.

And treated his opponents with contempt.

I thought the crowd would be livelier.

This could be over very soon.

Jane me too- where's the football chanting from this morning?

Ah they woke up!

Ugh.

I don't really think Gael is one to criticise another player for gamesmanship, really- he's not exactly squeaky clean in that department.

I'm not saying the outcome won't be the same, but the at least this set is taking longer. The first set was about half an hour- and so far this set is already that long- so at least he's pushing him a bit more.

What has Gael said?

Come on Lorenzo!

It was the first round match- Lorenzo took an injury time out- but he had cramp- so really, it was not allowed, (The umpire could have called him out on it)he was stalling for time. At the end of the match Gael was a bit frosty and told him he was better than that.

Maybe he could do the same now

What time is the curfew? I can't remember.

I think he should

He needs it to rain. Just on Djok.

I think 9.30 their time?

Ha

Oh- they have a bit of time then.

(I don't think it will last that long).

Well, they jinxed him with the double faults, didn't they.

Come on Lorenzo!

Great shot!

Brilliant
