Tennis: Heading into the clay swing - Monte Carlo, Rome, Paris, don’t forget the altitude in Madrid

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

I swear every time I sit down the temperature drops 10 degrees!

It's gone cold again here, Jane -earlier, the sun came out , it got quite warm in the car. For about 5 minutes

Kovalik does look like slightly menacing at times. It's the eyes

He mutters constantly as well.

Don't be reminding us there's no Rafa

I know, we don't need reminding.

I think no commentary would be better than him mumbling about nothing in particular. He's not exactly talking about the match, is he?

That was re- the commentator, who is getting on my nerves now. a bit.

Kovalik is just giving me Djok vibes

He's definitely Djok material with his racquet hammering!

Vamos Pedro!

Looks chilly there too.

I don't know if sweataway is the best logo to have on your top Pedro

i had to disappear for a bit. The commentator has a friend now..

I've been wandering around doing stuff. This is a long match. Whoever wins will be wrecked.

it does feel like it has been going on forever!

It's like trying to swat a fly for Martinez

Oh double fault

Well done scary Kovalik

Looks like it's slipping away from Pablo now.

And that was a sad way to end

Yes, well done Scary man.

Wonder if he likes figs?

Not Pablo- Pedro- I'm still thinking of the Andujar match

He plays Denis next.

I'm beginning to think hard about names before I type them Raahh

Sascha had a nice message for Andrey

Hopefully Aurelie is having a week off...

Casper is playing the little live wire Shelton

It's hard to believe Casper is only four years older than Ben

Crazy tennis

I have been out all morning so am only just managing to watch anything. Looks like I'm coming in at the ned of the Ruud match then.

I was getting confused thinking that Ben Shelton was Tracey Austin’s son - I didn’t think they looked alike!

He seems to be enjoying himself anyway

DH has just asked if tennis is on all the time - maybe he should just go into work and leave me in peace
