TENNIS THREAD - Arrivederci Roma! Onwards to Roland Garros.

[Raahh]

VAMOS Rafa!

I nearly missed the end of that!

My ITV4 is on the blink. At least Sky put Eurosport back on. I can't keep up with their fickleness.

Dan is having a bit of tussle with Kecmanovic. Dan started well- but the Serb remembered he was once the Junior number 1 .

Was funny (on ITV4) Inverdale was in full on Koenig mode earlier- making 'in the absence of Stan- we have Dan the Man' jokes.

The others have decided he can't be left alone .

I have eventually managed to manually tune ITV4. I'm looking forward to some Inverdale quizzes that I won't be able to answer

Not looking good for Petra.

Come on Dan!

I really wish Stan was there

I wish Stan was there too.

I know he is not Roger age (though he's one of the 'older' ones)but he has had a run of bad luck with injury, and I wonder how long it will be before he throws in the towel .

Poor Petra. I do like Petra. I always want her to get one more slam.

Petra won the second set.

Go Petra!

Picking up for Dan in the 4th set.

Domi seems to be doing ok. It's fairly close sets, but he might just get through in 3. Andujar could have been a really bad first round draw for Domi in current form.

Bit rowdy, the fans

I like that Dan has gone for 'camouflaging with the green flag bit' again with his shirt.

So many ads

I know! The car ad has reminded me that Queen's is now sponsored by Cinch. And I really want Rylan to turn up to present the trophy at the final.

Oh dear- could be the end of the line for Dan.

He's had a good clay season though- and will be seeded at Wimbledon, so not a bad year so far..

Not out yet though.

ooh- he's broken back!

Come on Dan! He has some French fans

Aww

Oh dear.

Serbians, eh?

Kecmanovic is very cross looking!

Petra is through. Well done her.

Have I jinxed Domi?!

Just managed to wrestle control of the telly in time to see Dan lose

I preferred it when Queens was sponsored by Fever Tree tonic - it seemed rude not to have a g&t while watching it . I would also love to see Rylan presenting the trophy - can’t see it happening somehow!

Off to see what’s going on with Domi now

Fizzy yes, drinking a g & t is more in keeping with watching the tennis than use cars . Fever Tree didn't last long as sponsors, did they?

Mind you- the fact the event didn't happen last year, probably didn't help.

I am not a fan of Domi's 'wet look' tops. Though this berry colour is better than the grey one .

Maybe Thiem needs a Red Bull.

Yes get the red bull out Domi

Yes the wet look tops look really sweaty

I wonder if Rafa is going to stick with the pink and mauve or if he’s going to surprise us with another colour combo?
