TENNIS: Madrid, Rome and on to Paris

[JaneJeffer]

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

It's a tie break Sam.

Tie Break.

They're always like it Raahh. Every year at Wimbledon we hear all about who has beaten Rafa.

Oh, the list *Jane.

It's the same every year.

Funny, we don't hear about all the people who have beaten Murray in his first round of Queen's - for example- since , he's a Brit. And that is getting to be quite a list.

But Rafa's list- that's fair game.

pfft

I love the colour Felix is wearing.

Throw him to the lions.

Yes, well Rafa already has a 21st grand slam title , Sam. So it's not all that.
And he might not win- remember what happened in the US when they kept going on about him winning his 21st slam there?

Poor Tomas

The thing is- no matter what he wins- he won't ever be remembered in the same way as Roger or Rafa.

He is just unlikeable. I can appreciate he is the most consistent across the board on all surfaces.

But his attitude sucks.

As much as I hate Djok that was some good tennis - Felix played really well too

really don’t like how much they’re bigging Djok up for RG

Come on Casper!

So annoying now that Daniil won't be able to play in England.

It is annoying about Daniil.
I am just hoping the rules regarding vaccines ( in the US) are still in place come the US open. It's a few months off though, and a lot can change.

If I have to listen to endless commentary again on Djok winning his 21st slam ( at RG) I will go bananas.

And heaven forbid he does do that- and he will then be Mr Amazing going for 22 at Wimbledon.

I was watching the Iga/Sabalenka semi final, but had to go and pick up dd1.
Another really one sided match for her- I think she really likes the conditions in Rome.

Just tuning in for Sascha and Stef. It's a lovely day here I should really not be inside watching tennis

Tim is laying down the law.

I know, we've got decent weather. DD2 is not very well, she has a high temperature and a headache. I had promised her a takeaway curry for the end of SATs /Eurovision tonight, so she is desperately trying to convince me she's ok really

It can be heated up tomorrow, I suppose.

We needed AC for the butterfly intervention. He would have known if it was a cabbage white or a moth.

he wouldn't really

Stef made a hames of that game

I'm not sure what he was thinking, *Jane.

Not sure he was!

Hope your DD is ok Raahh. Sometimes a curry can be curative as long as it's not a stomach bug!

Thanks Jane . If it wasn't for the temperature, I would think it was just the fact the week has been a bit full on with SATs, and I know myself that I get more migraines at the weekends- (when I've had a stressful week). One of her friends isn't feeling too good either- they were given pizza at school as a treat for the exams ending. DD2 has decided they've been poisoned drama llama

I love a good hot curry. Shame my dc prefer wussy kormas

Well, first set Sascha.

They are both playing well- but Sascha does have the edge, and his serve is holding up, which helps.

Is he watering crowd?

It's quite amazing seeing the crowds this year.

Go back 2 years-and there was no-one there, and they weren't even allowed to touch the trophies when they won.

Prime is blurry again
