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'm waiting for Rafa to come bombing back!

I love the lines woman's little nod to the camera

I am very much hoping Rafa will come back.

This game is crucial.

First time I've managed to put the tennis all week and Rafa is losing! Typical.
Vamos!
Although I have to say Sasha v theim would be a very interesting match up after the US

6 foot 6 BINGO!

Mama it will- my money would be on Sascha. I think Domi has been struggling mentally a bit since winning there (although he played better today).

Where is Kevin Anderson these days?

I saw a picture of him a few weeks back- he didn't look well (but then he often looks very gaunt).

I like Kevin.

I think Sascha has this match.

I don't know what happened to Rafa- from being 4-2 up in the first.

My money is on Sasha too - he's looking very focused

Well, he can't win everything. Does mean Daniil goes ahead in the rankings, which might affect things going into Rome/RG.

Oh well.

I suppose I should walk the dog.

Well done Sascha. Rafa wasn't moving well.

It was good to see Sascha managing to stay so calm.

Well done Sascha - from what I saw he played really well - it’s that pesky altitude again!

I think Kevin Anderson had some injuries - he does look a bit gaunt - hope he’s ok

'I did a disaster'

That was Rafa's review of his performance.

Oh bless him. He really was a bit of a disaster today but it happens.

How is you dd now raahh - sorry I asked on the other thread then never back it back to the replies

Mama she's ok, thank you. Getting used to the stoma, (won't empty the bag herself, which is a bit of a problem, but we are working on it). it has made a massive difference to her though- she has so much more energy. Hopefully it will be reversed by the end of the year (the amount of time off school is a bit of an issue, especially after the last year).

But I'm really proud of the fact she is not at all bothered by the bag at all- her attitude is very much that if other people are offended by seeing it, it's their problem .

Bublik has the doctor out?

Oh, allergies, apparently.

That's the perfect attitude to have - your dd sounds awesome. I'm so glad she doing better and fingers crossed for reversal later in the year.

I can't decide who I want it win here - both are doing in great

Thanks, Mama . She is a bit of a star.

I really want my mate Casper to win this- I haven't seen Bublik play very often, he's good- has a big serve.

I've just seen that Sascha has won his doubles match too.

He's going to have a busy weekend .

Casper looks like he has this now

Yes Sam- I have one of those annoying Christmas week birthdays (30th).

And then I went and had a ds on the 29th....
