TENNIS: Who will be victorious in Paris?

[JaneJeffer]

Great atmosphere at RG

Hi Jane we can hope! 😀
Love the Rafa fans, they are so loud.

I think Rafa has history on his side- he's only played 3, 5 set matches at RG- none have been finals. I like Casper, but this is Rafa in an RG final.

I don't mid if it's a boring final We've had more than enough excitement this fortnight.

I'm nervous 😬

I need this wrapped up by 4.15 if at all possible - hugely unrealistic but if I can get a 6-2 6-2 6-2 in Rafa's favour I'd be a very happy woman!

Jane me too.

I wish they would button it about Rafa's 'last match'.

He's not going anywhere yet.

Vamos!

I'm glad to see the weather is holding up in Paris at the moment. The more time they can play it 'oudoors', the better, really.

*outdoors.

Good start for Rafa.

I like Casper I really do - but my nerves just won't take a long match 😬
It's is getting wearing Raahh he himself has said he has no intention of this being his last RG match at the moment. Also if they don't stop saying about his 'luck' that Sasha got injured I'm going to get annoyed!

I think your DH might have changed the password again Jane but thank you so much for trying!

I’ve managed to find the match on Greek Eurosport so can watch but no idea what they’re talking about - which could be a good thing if there’s a Greek equivalent of Robbie or AC!

Rafa is still Rafa in Greek

Nooo

*Mama I doubt either of them consider Sascha's injury lucky. And he was ahead in the match at that point. He might have won anyway.

Fizzy you might be glad of Greek commentary

Not sure what Rafa is playing at- VAMOS

Exactly Raahh

Eek this isn't good, not a great moment for his serve to go walkabout.

Oh damn it Fizzy glad you can at least see it. I should have checked first!

Hello all! I missed the beginning as I was still clearing up after lunch. Interesting start!

I have not signed up to long match. I wanted a Federer 2008 final, or Djok 2020.

SHUT UP about his last match!!! It's not his last match.

Shut up about the last match FFS.

Oh flip, I wasn't feeling to nervous in spite of the obvious excellence of Casper. Felt that the universe would align to get Rafa his 14th. But now I'm just a bag of nerves and will be heading for the chocolate any second

Stefan!

Now that 1989 final is a grudge I hold against Chang forever.

Sorry Michael.

Vamos!

This is better!

Hi everyone

Hi Majestic
