Tennis: Adios Madrid, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

Just found out there's more football today

Thanks Jane I - I hadn't noticed how close to the end we were.

Back to the other thread- yes, the threads on here are usually the best thing about the concerts- or any music related thing.
I'm not convinced by Katy Perry either.

Just watching Struff practising. I hope the crowds are now totally against him today. i think he probably has made some fans this week, though.

Yes, apparently dh is watching football tonight. Fortunately he always watches on his computer (he has about 4 screens, due to work).

Greg might be right after all- Coco/Jess have come out in this set, playing much better.

I find out of all of them Greg usually knows what he's talking about

Had to go and finish the other thread because it gives me anxiety

Could be over soon.

It's all good experience for Coco though- and I'm glad she has stuck at the doubles as well as the singles.

And well done to Azarenka/Haddad Maia.

Quick match

Feli looks like he is wearing eye makeup.

That's a really boring plate.

No speeches?

How very odd. Dani is confused too.

I love that they are all walking off together. It was a quick match, but they all seem very happy.

But the lack of speeches has not gone down well with Greg and his mates.

Maybe Feli put a stop to speeches after Iga's dig about late matches?

Maybe! 'No speeches- we've only got an hour and a half til the men come out '

It's very unusual!

I think Catherine was particularly miffed because the men , winners and runners up , said something yesterday.

I'm not sold on the 'need to get a flight to Rome quickly' thing either. All sounds a bit 'Prince Harry '

Thanks for the new thread Jane - we’re rattling through them!

That’s rubbish about no speeches! at it all seems a bit Prince Harry!

DH is on his way back from the footy and the pub which probably means that he will want to watch a rubbish film and then fall asleep

I’m just having a Pimms in the garden - I bought some for yesterday but didn’t get round to drinking any - I’m still drinking Pimms from the Platty Jubes - not sure how it’s lasted that long -

I'd love a Pimms. And a takeaway

Well done on the Pimms Fizzy (and for managing* *to eke it out for so long )
Did a bit of shopping whilst in town for the local farmers market this morning. Ready mixed Espresso Martini was on offer, £10 off. Rude not to buy one

Thanks for the new thread Jane

Well* *done Stef! Another one crossed off Djok's Christmas card list

Just watched the last set in Provence. Andy beat Paul 2-6 6-1 6-2, and is back in the top 50. Would quite like to see Carlos dishing out a Struffing later but haven't worked out dinner timings yet

I'll do my usual trick of recording the concert and fast forwarding to the bits I want to watch!

And well done to Penny Mordant and Princess Anne yesterday (for different reasons )

And congratulations to the GB men, who won the Davis Cup equivalent in wheelchair tennis!

Well done Andy

More on Marvin shortly
