TENNIS: Madrid, Rome and on to Paris

[JaneJeffer]

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

Oh yes,well done to Iga! She is doing so well. As she is a massive fan, she can be my Rafa substitute

I'm watching the the Shaggy/Rudd match (that sounds wrong).
Casper won the first set, and it's 5 all in the second. There have been a lot of deuces in this game. Denis looks like he might follow the trend of players who beat Rafa in a tournament- but fail to win their next match.
It seems to happen a lot (unless it's Djok).

I'm rooting for Casper even though I'm not sure he can beat Djok

Let's hope he can do a few of those shots tomorrow.

Maybe Felix will surprise me.

Jane well, to fair, Denis can't beat Djok either . Casper has the benefit of only having ever played Djok twice -and once was at the tour finals, which always seems to be where the underdog loses to everyone, in their first year.

Well done to Casper.

Now, let's hope Felix plays one of the matches of his career, and if not that Casper can beat Djok.

Norway also have my favourite Eurovision entry.
And Serbia, the most odd.

Maybe it's a sign

I like that Casper said he wants revenge on Djok

Good for him

Teichmann has retired with an injury so I guess Djok and Felix will be on soon.

That's like me, next to pretty much every one.

I got bored with the fawning pre-amble, gushing over Djok and his 'amazing' Rome record.

hasn't won it 10 times though, has he?

Goran looks depressed.

I'd be depressed if I spent any time with Djok.

True dat

Ugh extreme Novak closeup

Good game Felix

DD1 thought Djok looked really scary. His eyes are too close together.

Grr

He was a bit pervy looking

Come on Felix!

Yes!

Yes! Felix!

Mom looks happy

Wow!
