TENNIS: Who will be victorious in Paris?

[JaneJeffer]

Fizzy

I'll warn the dog.

Fingers crossed it won't be too bad - it seems to have varied a lot day to day. One day, I know people who went through with no problems at all.

Why is Mats talking about Soderling? It was 13 years ago!!

RG is funny- even the ponchos are all matching.

A little wet cake for Rafa. Lovely.

- the holiday was postponed from last year - I wouldn’t normally book to go away at a bank holiday but hopefully it will be ok

That cake might get a bit soggy! It looks a bit grim in paris!

There's no booing today.

Funny that

Must be a bit intimidating for Sascha getting to the top of the steps and hearing all the chanting for Rafa

Xisca is there. How many times has she sat through Rafa's matches? Must be so nerve wracking.

Sticky start for Rafa 😬

Rafa. This is not the script.

VAMOS

Yikes

Are you writing the script Raahh?

This reminds me of Australia where he was pouring with sweat and took a while to settle down.

Jane

Oh now I'm writing the script!

Jane oh blimey- I can't go through a repeat of Australia. And I am sure neither can he!

Let's try saying something really obscure and see if they say it a minute later when they've caught up with the thread.

Eek - come on Rafa!

the sweat is pouring off him - it must be humid with the roof on

Wow that's a head of hair!

Afternoon all.
Tense start from Rafa - my nerves cannot take another long match today 😬

Jane

Oi- sit down you lot- you've had all day to get there.

Guga has definitely not lost any hair, has he?

Hope Rafa doesn't see Guga. He'll be well jel

Hello all - just turned on after getting back from the local Jubilee fete. Not the start I wanted to see! And the crowd seem to be very annoying already.

Even Sascha was on about having hair loss the other day and he's only 25

Why are there always empty seats?
