TENNIS: Who will be victorious in Paris?

[JaneJeffer]

There were lots of horrible injuries last year in the first few rounds

I'm getting excited now. Part of me wishes it wasn't Wimbledon- because this year has gone far too quickly- and I'm not quite recovered from the Australian Open still, never mind RG.. It's been a very stressful year in RL, and I want to start over - but I am looking forward to the tennis.

I want Rafa to do well- but I have low expectations- which I did of AO- but if he can manage the second week, that will be a great result, I think. I hope Xisca watches from home- far too stressful to watch in person at the moment (RG was bad enough)

I’m looking forward to Wimbledon as well Raahh but yes this year does seem to have gone quickly (again!)

The BBC advert is annoying me though - why does it just feature the women tennis players - I can feel another complaint coming on!

It will be nice to see Rafa at Wimbledon - seems like ages since he last played there . Yes Xisca should definitely stay at home with her feet up!

Who did open for the women last year? I can’t remember!

Another option would be for Karolina Pliskova to do it, as last year’s finalist.

How do I love thee?

Simona has got a neck injury

This umpire is so loud!

I saw Simona had pulled out of the Homburg open. Hope it doesn’t mean she will have to pull out of Wimbledon.

I am confused. Watching BBC2 and then look at Flash Score to learn it's not live!

Maxime is lovely in every way.

He does semi like a nice chap Jane - maybe some other players should take a leaf out of his book about mediation and being chilled on court!

*seem!

FFS - I’m sure the new site autocorrects all my words incorrectly - meditation not mediation!

Poor Alex always seems to come undone at semifinal stage.

I want to know what those two women are looking at on the phone

Rafa appears to have mislaid his shirt on Instagram

Indeed kazza what's the board game they're playing?

How could I ignore a post like that kazza - is Rafa playing topless ludo?

I enjoyed the McEnroe doc - it’s got a cinema release from 15 July. The shorts in the 80s were very short! There’s quite a bit of stuff about his relationship with his dad and some interviews with Borg. Peter Fleming also makes an appearance! I was surprised that there were so many people there - thought it would just be me!

The director did a live q & a but sadly no guest appearance from Mac himself! It’s worth seeing if you’re a tennis and Mac fan

Glad you enjoyed it Fizzy - sounds good.

Everybody's favourite film is on BBC2 tomorrow night 🙄

Indeed, that post was quite eye-catching! 😍

There were also some nice snippets of Rafa and Matteo practising together on IG, both looking good.

Mmm Rafa and Matteo - my favourite combination

I hope they're not gearing up to give Johanna a certain job!

I ended up with a migraine yesterday afternoon and have not long surfaced. First one for awhile and I feel a bit wobbly.

Feel like I've lost a day.

Ostapenko is enough to give anyone a headache though.

Shame I missed topless Rafa
