TENNIS: Bienvenue à Roland-Garros

[JaneJeffer]

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

FIzzy I've got Virgin, so I'm not sure if the 'free' channels are different.
I really only came across the match by accident, since as i said, all week, this channel just seemed to be the same as the other 1!

Is hat all he top women’s seeds out now then apart from Swiatek? Sabalenka lost earlier and Badosa retired - I think they were the only other top seeds still in.

Completely the opposite on the men’s side - all the top seeds still in except Norrie.

Chessie - looks like, from a quick look at the draws- the highest ranked player left is Jessica Pegula, -seeded 11 (9 in the live rankings). After that, it's Fernandez, seeded 17.

Been pretty free of 'big upsets', so far, in the men's. I suppose Shapo, and Fritz were expected to be around longer.

Be nice if Diego could manage it tomorrow

Lovely speeches from Simon- Marin looks happy too. Gilles happy that he still had a 6-1 lead in their head to head

Some pretty one sided matches today, and nothing much to get my teeth into. The Ruud/Sonego match has potential- but it depends on whether that one will be shown. It's possible it will be, since Stef is making light work of Ymer- and there's nothing happening on Chatrier til later.

So, Ruud too the first set easily enough- but Sonego has a break in the second, and the crowd are very much behind him.

Casper has turned it back around.
I quite like his top, it's a nice colour.

Set to Sonego, match just got interesting.

It's all falling apart a bit for Ruud in the 3rd set.

Can't watch because it's Champions League final with everyone's favourite on commentary

So long as he doesn't sing, Jane

He might have to. There's some kind of aggro going on outside the stadium and everything is delayed. It's a shambles!

So Casper has levelled the match to 2 sets all. I'm glad really, it's been a bit of a boring day, results wise.

Though obviously I will be happy with a boring result from Rafa tomorrow. (Sorry Felix).
Of course, it depends how the football goes- I hope Rafa doesn't have a late night, since he has an early-ish match tomorrow.

Jane that doesn't sound good!

Aww, he could be football's answer to Cliff.

I'm scared. He never does well after a match!

Camila Cabello was supposed to be singing beforehand because they're going for a superbowl vibe. I think they've failed what with the tear gas and everything

I know- they could have given him the night match, to recover a bit.

Carlos will have played 3 night sessions.

It does sound like a bit of a mess, Jane.

They've just showed Rafa and his dad in the crowd.

MN keeps going off for me again.

So long as Rafa behaves, and doesn't get lairy.

Can you imagine Rafa getting lairy ?

I think Ruud has turned this around now.

I see Rune is a set up against Gaston

I think Rafa probably gets more laity watching football than he does playing tennis
