TENNIS: Madrid, Rome and on to Paris

[JaneJeffer]

Who's going to get the last quarter final place?

Denis obviously lost the set not the match, BTW. It then looked like he was racing ahead in the3rd. But now I can't get the scores on my phone!

I just saw Denis win set point. Missed all the excitement

Match point even

Karen is being bombarded by autograph hunters!

I'm having loads of trouble with Prime since I got back.

Have managed to get the Korda/Van de Zandshulp match on- Seb lost the first set and is a break down in the second

I had it on but it was really blurry. I've got Bublik on now which seems ok so I don't understand what's causing the blurriness.

Ok so foggy seems to be playing in his pjs - too many stripes!

Fizzy It's pretty horrible. He looks like a comedy convict. It's up there with the poo shorts for 'worst kit of 2022' so far.

Both Fabio and Domi's tops look like really thick, sweaty material.

Not Petch again.

I'm thinking of setting up a Go Fund Me to pay Petch off.

What happened to RBA? Is he injured?

I've just put Camila and Ajla on and oh my God it's Petch again! Surely someone else deserves a go?

I’ll donate to your Go Fund Me to get rid of Petch Jane

I’m not sure about RBA - doesn’t look as if Rafa is playing until Wednesday but I think Djok is playing tomorrow

Cute Pedro

Look at that beautiful blue sky !

I haven't been able to watch yet today, but I see that Isner has won, so he will be Rafa's opponent tomorrow, I think.

I have everything crossed that Karatsev can cause an upset (but by all accounts, his last match was a scrappy affair, that neither player played well in).

So Shaggy has given Jamie Delgado the boot.

Jane has he? He's not been around long has he? Mind you, so mny of them change their coaches like they change their racquets, so it's hard to keep up.

Was it to do with the sweary rant yesterday?

No Raahh he rang him at the weekend but it seems to have been a shock for Jamie according to gossip Tim

Tim is getting as bad as AC at gossiping

Haven't seen much tennis today but I did see Tim being asked if he’d had any ice cream - he admitted to having had a Magnum - in Italy where they sell amazing ice cream!

I think they were trying to fill the time while Emma Radacanu had a medical time out snd he panicked - she had to retire because of her back - she’s not had much luck recently

No, Emma seems to have been prone to injury really.

A magnum

Tim is a barbarian

I’m not sure if anyone’s broken it to Tim that you can buy Magnums anywhere!

Rafa’s on tomorrow at about 11.20am - hopefully Isner won’t cause him too many problems (although did he play quite well on clay last year?)

I’m just watching sewing bee from last week - someone’s making a jacket inspired by Serena Williams - not sure how that’s going to turn out

Rafa playing today, rearly match so I should get chance to watch (she says- something is bound to jinx this).
Grigor will be getting deja vu- he's playing Stef again today.
Marin last up tonight against Norrie.

I didn't get to watch much yesterday, and got swept up by Eurovision semi final fever, which caught me off guard this week, because I was sure it was on next week.
