Tennis: Adios Madrid, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

Ooh, he's not happy.

Wait until Frances goes in and finds out everyone else stopped

Play is now suspended elsewhere.

So - man in grey must know that.

He will implode.

It's a shame, Frances is usually pretty affable. And he's playing an italian- so he's got no chance with the crowd.

Lorenzo could swipe this, if Big Foe's head is already in the locker room.

He should do an Azarenka- at RG 2020- and refuse to play.
That really was funny.

He was complaining about how dark it is more so than the rain I think

The conditions aren't great at all.
This umpire will be off Tiafoe's Christmas card list.

This bloke must know it's been suspended elsewhere!

Finally

He really does have a point though.

Barry is cross too.

A very strange carry on

Certainly was.

I guess that's it for today then.

Dan & Ben got knocked out

I did notice earlier that Wolf was wearing hideous shorts.

Ahh well, back tomorrow then.

So annoying, I’m finally able to watch and it’s all rained off

Oh dear- Feli is continuing to get into bother after cake/speech gate.
He replied to Murray's tweet about a birthday cake (now deleted) 'I'll see what I can do' and the floodgates opened .

Basically, there were responses along the lines of 'of course, you can arrange anything if it's for the men' , comments about speeches and his inability to arrange a decent tournament.

Poor Feli!

Oh dear poor Feli!

I think they’ve still got some matches to catch up on today because of the rain. It looks as if Djok is playing Cam at 10am - I’m surprised they’re playing that early - maybe it’s not considered ‘box office’ - anyway come on Norris!

Poor Feli, he just keeps digging

Bless him, but Cam isn't the most scintillating (on or off court!) but he'll go up in my estimation if he wins today which he won't

Just managing to watch- decided to go with Rune (really not in the mood for Djok and it doesn't look like Cam is making much of an impression there).

Seems to be business as usual for Holger.

Popyrin has a noisy crew supporting him. Or trying to annoy Holger. I can't decide

I've seen the schedule- and because of the rain, it looks like the winners of the Stef/Sonego Tiafoe/Musetti matches have to play again tonight. Going to be a long day for them.

Jane probably a bit of both! Although he is Australian, and they are usually the noisiest supporters. That crown seems to have been taken by the Italians this year.

Hope it's not too late when Frances gets back out. He'll do his nut if it's getting dark again!

I prefer the sound of the Italian noise. The Aussies have a habit of saying the same thing over and over which gets on my nerves.

Norrie's been broken in the second set- it was going with serve the last I looked. So that will be over pretty soon.
