Tennis: Adios Madrid, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

Crazy upset! Really hope he doesn’t go on to lose to Djok now.

Rome likes the drama - players walking out to a Carmina Burana remix

Mo is umpiring. He probably picked the music

Sam has just said that Mo even manages to make the coin toss theatrical. She's not wrong.

Just seen the Rublev/ADF scores - very close first set, but i think Andrey has run away with the second.

Just watching the end of Jelena's match. It seems to have been going on all day!

It has been a long match- Kasatkina just faded away in the last set.

Just watching Lorenzo and Big Foe.- some apologies from Sam for his language (I missed what he said!)

I missed his language too. We need a replay

In today's 'kit report'- I do prefer the scrambled egg coloured top with black shorts. The all yellow kit (that Fritz had) was just odd.

Frances looks knackered

Big Foe is very sweaty.

Or he's tipped water over himself, not sure.

He does Jane and it's very early days!

I think the scrambled egg top suits Lorenzo best out of everyone.

This umpire is having a busy day.

Ooh that serve has got Big Foe some boos

Will be score watching for a bit, I have very generously allowed dd2 to have the tv.

Gotta love Andy

If Stan wins his first round match at the Bordeaux Challenger, he plays Andy in the second round! 's at the ready

If not slightly bigger

I see Etcheverry is in Bordeaux. He doesn't let the grass grow under his feet.

Sam seems disappointed that Big Foe took the first set.

Big Foe is doing a Bublik today

Obscenity? What is he saying? I mean I can probably guess but I can't hear it at all.

it's wet now in Rome.

Turn around in this set.

Just watched on the Wimbledon YouTube channel the final game of Andy's win over Djok. Ten years ago this summer!! Forgot that he went from 40- love and 3 Championship points up to breakpoint down, saving another couple before winning on the 4th match point.
And Mo was umpiring!

Oh deary me

It is daft that they have stopped elsewhere, and not on this one. I can understand why Tiafoe is annoyed. It must be getting harder to play. It will end up like mud!

I think Frances has already checked out of the game.
