TENNIS: Bienvenue à Roland-Garros

[JaneJeffer]

Just realised the tennis ball emoji is missing from the app. Merde. Off to complain!

Hi magi good to see you. Glad you're settling in and will have telly and Rafa.

I had started typing a post but it disappeared somewhere. Between MN and my phone I don't know what to blame!

Hello magi lovely to see you - I was wondering if you were managing to see much of the tennis

Rafa is a good human person

was that lady ogling Rafa changing his shirt Jane? She looked very happy

Yes Fizzy she was filming him and the camera caught her out but she just grinned from ear to ear

i would never do anything like that

Oh I know Fizzy

Just checking that it works on chrome.

John McEnroe I love you

Cachin reminds me of Jen's magician looking boyfriend from the IT Crowd

Mac predicted those Lacoste boards would make someone come a cropper. Why can't they paint it onto the backboard?

I've not had chance to watch much today, just got in and it looks like Iga is not messing about.

Didn't Goffin fall into the boards one year? or was it someone else? Might not have been the board, actually, I think it was the tarpaulin at the back.

I've just got in too. Looks like Danil did pretty well and Iga is in a serious hurry.

The top that Alison Riske is wearing is not a great colour - from a distance it looks like she’s not wearing one!

I was just coming on to say I walked into the sitting room and thought there was topless tennis on for a minute Chessie 🙈

Did Babs say Jesus she makes it look so easy?

I’ve just got in - Jane I need to know why you love Mac so much

i would like to see Rafa playing topless tennis (like that woman last night )

I once accepted a Tesco delivery wearing a neutral coloured cardigan - when I opened the door the man said he didn’t think I had a top on - that was a bit awkward (and quite scary for him if it had been true )

Right off to catch up with the tennis news!

Was it Dougal Fizzy?

Mac was making me laugh because they had technical difficulties and were trying to fill in and he said they keep speaking into my ear while I'm talking I wish they would wait until I finish what I'm saying

And yes please to topless Rafa

Dougal!

Mac does make me laugh but I can also imagine him being quite annoying!

I’ve never heard of Kolar! Would have liked to watch Dan’s match but it’s not on the main channel

i think Rafa’s on at about lunchtime tomorrow - Djoks got an early start I think

Mac does make me laugh but I can also imagine him being quite annoying!
Bit like me

Jane I laughed when Babs said 'Jesus'
Definitely wouldn't catch Sue Barker saying that on the beeb!

I saw the order of play, and that Rafa is on Lenglen. He does play on there occasionally- but it's not been every year, I don't think.

Lots of players cite Rafa as their idol, don't they? Kolar appears to be another.

You don't hear many saying Djok.

Halep could be in trouble - she’s 3-1 down in the third set

oh dear- come on Simona!

Although really, the way she's playing, I can't see anyone winning the women's apart from Iga. Unless the gets injured.

Jane

hmm I wonder why that is Raahh - when Tsonga retired Alex Coretja was saying that some players can win lots of tournaments but will never be as popular as players like Tsonga - I wonder who he was talking about …

Although Rafa is of course a good human person and wins lots of tournaments

Fizzy- I wonder who Alex meant

Djok must be spitting feathers. Roger is pretty much out of the picture, Rafa keeps getting injured- it's his turn, damnit, to be the Chosen One.

And then along came Alcaraz, and everyone is talking about him. He's been around 5 minutes, and I bet he's already more popular than Novak.
