TENNIS: Bienvenue à Roland-Garros

[JaneJeffer]

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

Today is far less stressful, tennis wise.

Probably a good thing.

I haven't been watching today but it's on in the background now. I have tennis exhaustion after yesterday.

Yes he does look like a gnome @JeansAndJumper

That's pretty much how it is here, Jane.

I have all sorts to catch up on, other than tennis. I have even managed to cut the (very wet) grass.

Even though Marin is 2-1 up , this match could still go either way.

Rafa does look a bit like a garden gnome in that picture - I think he would be quite happy if his biceps still looked like that in 2050!

I’m reading Jarvis Cocker’s book about the stuff he found when he was sorting out his loft - cassettes feature a lot - takes me back to when I used to tape the top 40 and John peel! My kids don’t even know who Jarvis is

Not really sure how this match is going to go but it’s another long one!

Andrey will damage the family jewels if he's not careful!

Oof. I don't like matches like this being won on tie break.s

Cilic is playing really well.

Go Marin!

Well done Marin but now I have to look at Andrey's sad face which breaks my heart!

He legged it quickly. Phew

Andrey gave everything. But brilliant from Marin- who would have thought it??

Amazing isn't it!

Yay well done Marin! I was worrying about Andrey’s Crown Jewels earlier as well! I think that might have been racquet abuse

Amazing from Marin - that tie break was incredible.
Poor Andrey though, he looked like he was going to cry there.

I think it was ball abuse Fizzy

Rublev does have a the 'kicked puppy' face down , doesn't he?? Poor Andrey- but it was a great match- just a shame i t came after last night, so felt flat, when it was actually really high quality.
Havent sen Marin play like that for ages.

Why wouldn't Marin sign that hat?

I missed that , Jane

Ball abuse

I need to read Jarvis' book Fizzy

It was one of the official hats so I wonder if they have to be returned or something.

Ruud and Rune have had some great wins to get this far.

I'm very glad I have stuck with my mate Casper - I always knew he'd be a star

True Raahh

He's not Rooney Tim

Tim' s pronunciation of Rune is Mac- like, Jane.

This is not as close as Monte Carlo.
