TENNIS THREAD - Arrivederci Roma! Onwards to Roland Garros.

[Raahh]

VAMOS Rafa!

I nearly missed the end of that!

Djok will cone back all guns blazing now- it would be amazing if Musetti could win this.

Afternoon! Back from the seaside just in time to see Musetti win the first set - hope he can keep it up! Holidaying in the uk is expensive and tiring but at least the weather was nice!

Glad that the dentist was OK Raahh - I feel as if I need a complete MOT!

Excited and a bit nervous for Rafa later on. I’m not too sure what to think about Roger withdrawing - I think it was a bit unfair of him to use the French Open as a bit of a Wimbledon warm up and then to withdraw when it had served its purpose. Not very fair for the tournament - maybe he was getting his own back for having to play to an empty court the other night. Roger seems to be getting a bit grouchy in his old age!

Also going back to ADF I really don’t like the underarm serve - he did it in (I think) the final game against Ruud - I just find it really disrespectful (and reminds me of Kyrgios!). Yes don’t think Sascha will be too happy if he served one against him!

I have been keeping an eye on the scores- and Musetti was ahead- but looks like Djok has broken back?
Fizzy I feel a bit the same about Roger- and I heard 'fitness issues' cited as a reason for withdrawing. The cynic in me just thought those issues would be resolved in time for Halle. .

At this rate- Rafa might be the night match

(Ok, maybe not quite).

So long as Sinner doesn't get any idea, watching this match- I want an easy win for Rafa.

Come on Lorenzo!

Awesome from musetti

Come on Lorenzo! We could be in for a long afternoon!

Both these matches are really good- although I think Diego will probably finish his match off sooner rather than later.

Come on Lorenzo!!

Ha ha

And Diego is through. I do feel a bit for Struff- he really did give it his all.

Yess!! Musetti!

I am enjoying this

Top knots are still a bit silly though. i mean- what is their actual purpose?

Come on Lorenzo! I might be a little bit in love with him and his top knot now!

x post re- top knot

If he wins- I might put my own hair in a top knot.

not really, it would end up knottier than the dog

Top knots are silly But if it helps him to be Novak...! Can't believe he's only 19.

The Italians really are doing well with their young players.

But- it is not allowed to be Sinner's day....

Come on Lorenzo! Don't let him back in!

Ok- it's only 1 set.

Come on Lorenzo!!

Come on Lorenzo. Have a coffee or something.

oh dear. It all seems to be going Djok's way now.

Did Domi leave any red bull behind?
