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

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

The football is on now - there’s a player called Carlos Alcaraz who plays for Southampton - I’m very confused!

Fizzy multi tasking.

That Southampton player who landed on his head

Spooky! Just as I logged on to MN, I flicked on the local news (BBC South) and they showed the Southampton goal by Carlos Alcaraz. I thought, well, they've got that wrong! Then immediately looked at my phone and saw this thread!

Yes we do know what we’re talking about sometimes kazza - it’s funny that you come here to fact check everything

I didn’t see the footballer fall on his head Jane - just saw him wandering around looking a bit dazed and confused!

Lorenzo and Stef on first at about 12.30pm and then Dan and Carlos (the tennis one!) at about 3pm

I'm going to get very confused- what with 'our' Boris and now Carlos 'not the football one'

I am having to 'do things' because the tennis doesn't start til later .

Yes the confusion is real Raahh - doesn’t take much!

I bought Sue Barker’s book for £1 today - hoping to get all the gossip about Cliff, Tim and QOS!

Oh, enjoy the book Fizzy I have been wondering if i should read it. I dont think she's too happy with the way Cliff 'milked' their very brief time together, or the fact he still doesn't shut up about it, given the chance, years later.

At least she can sleep easy at night knowing that QoS has been completely ruined she left - and has probably lost most of it's audience.

I forgot what time the matches were due to start- so I'm just catching the tail end of the first set of the Stef/Lorenzo match.

I've seen that Djok has withdrawn from Madrid. He will not be missed

Hurrah!

Just put the end (probably) of Holger on. YMCA again. These DJ's must be cousins.

I mean the end of the match not the end of Holger (hopefully)

The end of Holger would be a bit dramatic

Fizzy** I had a look on Amazon because I thought you might have got your bargain book there and I see congratulations are in order for His Lordship on his No. 1 bestseller.

he's through

If Van De Zandschulp beats Fritz it'll be a repeat of last year's final where he had to withdraw. I wish my predictive text would learn his name.

I have to cut and paste Van De Zandschulp- I am always getting the ps and ls mixed up.

Hardly the rally of the week. It was only 3 shots!

Hello tasty Nacho

I was just musing over how easy Nacho is on the eye!

Looks a clean hit to me

YMCA again

Stef has taken charge now. Although I'm not quite discounting Musetti yet.
