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??

This is not the start we want.

Vamos

Jane no, he can't.

Well done Rafa

Now, don't lose your serve!

I'm stressed already.

Is it too early for a drink?

(I'd be asleep before the end of the first set if I started now).

Afternoon all

Hi Private

It's Sunday Raahh so early drinks are allowed.

Afternoon Private

Afternoon Spidey

I was also thinking that about wine Raahh - I think we could be in for a long match ...

Oh all right then Jane - I keep waking up early so am very tired but a nice glass of wine might calm my nerves (or send me to sleep!)

I have an extra large bottle of fizz that we got for out anniversary I have been saving- I know if I open it, I will drink it all. I know it is technically also for dh...

I think I will save it for Eurovision then I will fall asleep and miss the results

I would definitely nod off if I had wine right now

I've just woken up from a half hour zzzzzzzzzz, no wine involved! But I was up early & had a 4 mile walk this am.

Great shot!

Oops

Wow I don’t think I’ve ever seen Rafa so angry! Those lines are dangerous!

You deserve a wine now magi!

Angry Rafa is hot

Hammering down lines seems very basic!

it's the second time now and I can see why he's angry- because the last thing he wants is to get injured at this point in the season.

I hope it doesn't affect him though.

Jane

Hello magi - you definitely deserve a wine

Those people who were inspecting the lines looked as if they weren’t really bothered!

It seems to have shaken Rafa a bit - hope he’s not hurt

Well, this match is already longer than the women's final.

Finally can sit and watch for a bit
Vamos!!

Poor Rafa is cut. If he was playing Gaelic he would have to come off until the bleeding was seen to.
