TENNIS: Who will be victorious in Paris?

[JaneJeffer]

I’ve got a free afternoon and just settled down to watch the tennis and it’s raining at Queens - boo!

it’s ok though because we’ve got John Loyd and AC to entertain us

I was delayed doing something, and thought I'd miss the start.
Looks like I didn't after all.
Very different weather today, to yesterday.

FIzzy I 've only listened to 5 minutes of them waffling, and am fed up with them already.

Matteo seems to be doing ok- probably needs to wrap this up before the rain comes back.

Ooh- Matteo lost his serve. Wasn't expecting that .

I am so fed up with Peter. He really needs to be got rid of.

John has just reeled off the achievements and progress Botic has made this year- mainly from qualifiying, and making the main draws- obvious who he would be referring to. And Peter said 'who? Berrettini'

Yes, Peter because with a top 10 ramking most of the year, Matteo needs to play qualifying.

Just score watching. Seems Daniil is being challenged in Halle - tiebreak first set.

I had almost forgotten about Halle (I think the fact Kyrgios is in the other semi final, has made me ignore it
Daniil has the first set then- Otte is quite good on grass, I remember him really pusing Murray last year at Wimbledon, to 5 sets.

I have my fingers crossed that Hubi beats Nick later.

Sue- Voice of Doom. I always wonder what she's about to say...

Oh no- is the rain coming back?

So, Daniil has won his match.

DD2 took advantage of the rain delay and stole the tv remote

They’re back on Raahh although it looks as if Matteo might win soon

Peter Fleming is just awful - he hasn’t got a clue - he also keeps saying van de Zandschulp differently every time he says it!

AC was talking about Dan Maskell keeping quiet and letting the tennis do the talking - oh the irony …

I don’t want to think about Kyrgios either - hope he doesn’t play Rafa at Wimbledon - I don’t think I could cope with that again!

Well done Matteo - unfortunately I don’t think he’ll need an ice bath today

ice baths should be compulsory.

I missed the ends, but well done Matteo.

Filip looks like he is going to ruin my Cilic/ Matteo final.

But Hubi took the second set against Kyrgios on Halle- hope fully Nick will just give up now.

Not a good day for Cilic.

It's windy there.

Still score checking. Come on Hubi!

Shame about Marin- he had a really bad day today.

But Hubi has won- well done to him!

Yes! Come on Hubi!

Just catching up on everything from the last week. Wednesday was emotional but lovely, so thank you. Now back to all the probate shite
Still haven't seen any tennis but if the butterfly fancier has got even worse (how could this be possible?!) maybe that's no bad thing Peter Fleming seems to be going down a storm
Aahh, the halcyon days of Dan Maskell!
Good news about Mr and Mrs Rafa
Thanks to whoever it was alerting us to the joys of Matteo in an ice bath

Glad that everything went well on Wednesday kazza

It’s a shame that Marin couldn’t manage it yesterday but still hoping that it will be a good match - who knew that a grown man sat in an inflatable bath being covered in ice would create such excitement

Filip is not a fan of the grass! At least he’s not rude about it in the way that Bublik is about clay!

Pity that the Halle final is on at the same time.

I've just got in from dropping DD2 off for her year 6 residential. It's the first time she's stayed away from home since she had her stoma surgery- so I'm hoping there are no big emergencies It's the irst holiday she's had since she was a baby- so it is is a big deal .

kazza i'm glad things went ok. Hopefully the probabte stufff won't be too stressful- my mum heard this week that my uncles's was sorted 9she did it herself). It was a pretty straightforward one though.

So, it looks packed at Queen's. Jane it is a shame the Halle final is on at the same time.
