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

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

It’s like winter here Jane!

Murray still not having a good time on clay

Vavassori is already 4-0 up - I’ve not heard of him before - if Robbie was there I’m sure he would be saying that he had va va voom!

va va voom! we've all been Robbiefied

I've got Chickenato on in the background but I'm not paying attention. I saw him getting angry about something earlier.

I seem to always end up on the commentary free but accidentally.

Now that I've put Andy on I wish it was commentary free. Not going great for him but the crowd are on his side.

I took the dog out and it was freezing. I had to put my 'big coat' on, and everything.

Va va voom.

Can't watch anything at the moment, dd2 took over the tv in my absence

Come on Andy Murray!

Andy's getting stomach cramps it seems.

Burn the shot clock.

Come on Andy - although he does seem to have got an issue with his stomach

He doesn’t know where the shot clock is

That's it Andy. Let it all out

he doesn’t hold back does he?

Va Va Voom seems really tall but he's "only" 6' 3"

Not sure if I can cope with another set of speculation about Murray’s tummy troubles or the potential results of his tummy troubles!

Did Serena design the ball girl outfits?

Yes they’ve got a detachable train and cape

Fuck sake

This tiebreak is mental

This is a nightmare for both players!

Wow - well done Va va voom! He did well to hold his nerve

Well done Va Va. is that his coach? Hello 😍

Poor Andy. That was a mare for him.

I looked up Va Va Voom- he looks quite nice. Never heard of him before though.

Lots of Italian players around now.

Casper first up this morning- playing Arnaldi. The Italian supporters have been very vocal the last couple of weeks, so will be interesting to see how this goes. Ruud hasn't been having the best run of results.

He's already a break down.

I'm looking forward to Rune/Bublik. Could get interesting

I am really looking forward to that one, Jane. Really depends which versions of Rune/Bublik turn up
I wouldn't put it past Alexander to try and wind Holger up

Simona has been speaking about her suspension which I had forgotten about. The hearing is taking ages and she wants to be getting on with it.
