TENNIS: Bienvenue à Roland-Garros

[JaneJeffer]

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

Good!

Shut up Tim

I'm not sure where this version of Cilic has come from all of a sudden. I know he is best on grass, really, and obviously can play on hard courts- but clay- I've never really seen it.

Yes well Tim, given the fact Djok got the choice to play at night, we all think he is the one with advantage.

Or yes, Shut up Tim.

The thing with this match is, they are not desperate for Daniil to win, even as the number 2- because I think they all want Djok to win. I don't know why this is, but they do.
So really, they aren't that excited by the fact the Daniil is about to be beaten.

I suppose what I mean is, they don't care- because he's not the favourite .

If he loses, it's not a big loss.

Well saved Daniil

At least they have remembered Cilic is the a former US Open champion.

Maybe Marin can win RG.

That would be a turn up!

Wow! Go Marin.

I thought it would be close-ish since neither are clay players. But well done to him. Best match for ages.

I was thinking earlier he might do a Stan

Alex is funny.

And looks so short

Last night Alex called Babs Babsy and she muttered Babsy under her breath

playing retiring French players is clearly the common factor.

First Ruud, now, Marin.

Is that his little boy? So cute.

No, Tim, I kept saying that clay was not either of their surfaces.

Yes sir Mats

Mats gets so cross that everyone doesn't think exactly like him!

That graphic looks like a crime scene

I think Cilic is happy now that he has had his little boy.

And i think he might have had a chance in the Wimbledon final without the blisters, and he fell foul to Federer's demands to play under the roof in Australia- and really played himself back into that final.

Roger. Roger is the problem. And blisters.

I hope Rafa can 'do a Marin' tomorrow.

There might be a freak, late evening heat wave that changes the weather, and conditions on court.

Or Djok might go home.

Or get Covid

Aww Marin is so happy.
