TENNIS: Bienvenue à Roland-Garros

[JaneJeffer]

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

Woo!

No Sam we'd have loved Rafa to win in three.

Vamos!

VAMOS!!

Jane absolutely.

No Sam, you should never doubt him.

Yet, so often you do.

Come on!!

It's nice of Rafa to keep to the schedule.

Though it would have been nicer if he had won 3 hours ago.

Yes!!!

Thank the lord for that!

Thank god for that. Looked a bit hairy for a while there!

I l think one of the young women behind Rafa was in tears at match point.

I blame the football, and Uncle Toni, for making all of that painful

Well done Felix- your time will come.

Jane I am not surprised!

Felix will be very disappointed but he's young and has plenty of years to do it.

I am worried about the next match though- I hope some one gets to Djok's figs between now and then.

Pourquoi are Spanish people speaking French? And now English

Phew! He made hard work of that. I feel for Felix but Vamos Rafa!

"The night session is coming" Rafa looks at his watch in surprise

🤣🤣

That was quite nerve wracking, and I felt a bit sad for Felix, but you're right he will def be back and have time to win.

The men always seem much nicer to each other at the end of a match - Rafa always very gracious even in defeat, women tennis players usually look like they can't bear to shake hands let alone smile or exchange words with each other

Jane it makes me laugh. His French, in his very-Rafa accent always makes me smile.

But at least he gives it a go. I remember when he first tried. And when he had a translator for his English.

He's come a long way.

I don't agree with that @Fizbosshoes the women often have lovely hugs and nice words for each other at the net.

Fight until the end! Yay! Vamos Rafa!

I know -isner and Djok

Well I'm exhausted after that.

Rafa’s French has improved - he says a bit more than merci beaucoup now

Rafa - he will fight to the end - I’m sure he’ll have the crowd behind him which will hopefully wind Djok up!
