Here ya go!

Bon soir, mes amis

Come on Rafa FFS!!

Jane

It's a shame, because I'm not holding out a lot of hope that anyone is going to beat him to be honest. Much as I want them to. He plays Khachanov next- who did beat him in the final in Paris in 2018. But the likelihood of a repeat of that is slim to none, really.

I really wish I’d not seen those photos - no-one comes out of it well - not even Rafa! (Maybe Felix looks ok)

oh no - looks like it could be a late night …

Yes, Felix photographs well. Casper looks a bit like they caught his coing out of the loo, and Stef was trying too hard.

Rafa always looks a bit odd in them.

But none of them look as bad as Djok. He looks like the Devil.

I really wish Rafa had a better serve. It would be better for my nerves.

But the times when he has improved his serve, we've had to listen to the commentators moaning about all the 'free' points he's getting. I remember Frew at the Aussie Open the other year being insufferable about it. And he was only gaining about 6/7 aces a match. Not 20.

ooh- stripping.

I don't want anxiety, thanks, Petch.

DH said that Rafa looked weedy and pale when he was stripping - I’ve sent him off to bed!

This is not looking good for Rafa!

I hate tie breaks.

Weedy and pale

Cedric!

I don't think I will last to a 3rd set.

And I'm not sure Rafa will either.

Merde

I know he's destined never to win Paris.

But I at least want him to win a match this year!

I did say when i saw the draw that this would be tough. Paul has been quietly causing problems for seeds all year.

Bugger. I’m off to bed.

Feel a bit sorry for Norrie and Moutet - not sure if I would hang around for that!

Rafa seems to be unravelling a bit …

Vamos!

Petch put a sock in it

My Internet went off, so I am now score watching.

The first set went so well, after a slow start. Ahh well.

Maybe Rune can win the whole thing?

Anyone but The Devil Djok anyway!

at least we got to see him

Oh dear - poor rafa

sorry cam - need to go to bed now

The ATP put the scary photos on Instagram and the comments are great
