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

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

Finally managing to watch some tennis. Stef looks exhausted! Looks like he has this in the bag though.

Well done to Stef. Musetti has not done badly over the last couple of weeks, (and beating Djok always get brownie points from me).

Just switched over to the Fritz/Botic match. Not going too well fro Fritz today.

I still dislike the scrambled egg kit.

I might get to see the end of Dan/Carlos

Ons had to retire in Stuttgart

Andrey into the Bosnia&Herzegovina final

I thought Fritz might take this to 3 sets, but Botic has a very healthy lead in the tie break.

And VdZ takes it. Not been too shabby frm Fritz last week and this though, since it's not his favourite surface.
Well done Botic.

I told DS Djok had pulled out of Madrid, presumably because of his elbow issue. DS said - let's hope it's career ending!!
I've trained him well

Watching Dan lose now

Although he has now won 2 games on the trot, so perhaps I should be more negative about Dan. It clearly works

That’s a shame for Ons, she played an amazing match against Ostapenko earlier in the week.

I wonder if the residents of those apartments around the stadium in Barcelona can watch live tennis from their living rooms?

Never mind Dan!
You had the better kit

I just saw the final game. They said Dan played well.

It was closer at times than the score suggests Jane

Stef needs a sun cream intervention

Lajovic made it to the final

That’s good news about Djok being out of Madrid - hope it’s nothing too serious

I ended up not seeing much of the tennis and didn’t see any of the Dan and Carlos match - I’m hoping to watch the final tomorrow

I got the bargain Sue book from our local library Jane - they sell second hand books for £1 and it’s like new. Good to see that His Lordship’s book is doing well though - need to fill the family coffers

I turned on the London marathon- and they were playing YMCA .
Clearly ' Wedding reception retro' has taken over from dance music at sports events

I saw that Raahh - hoping for some good tunes for the final!

The marathon sent me into a hypnotic trance and I forgot the Munich final had started.

I love watching the marathon. It's scary how fast the time goes when you are just watching other people running...

Aneke is busy

It's YMCA time again

What the heck was that camera up to?

Prime has frozen

I've seen quite enough of that cathedral now thanks

Well this is bloody annoying. Sort it out Prime!
