Tennis: Adios Madrid, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

Hope this boy can put a halt to his gallop.

They like a chant, the Aussies.

The Italian supporters are pretty spoilt at the moment (I miss Berrettini).

Jane I would love to see Holger beat Djok again.

It won't count of course- asterixes and all that- Djok's injured or something. and a knob.

I'm sure his elbow is going to start throbbing any minute now because he knows he's probably going to be facing someone who can send him packing.

He's probably measuring up for a nice tubi grip now.

Bloody Djok.

I've just realised it is Rune next for Djok, isn't it?

(Obviously he's got to win this first )

If he wins this

Oof! Come on Holger!!

Holger looks determined to win this game and Popyrin looks determined to stop him

And just has.

Is that Holger's magic racquet?

I can tell now when he's getting dehydrated before he can

Fair point Popyrin. "If I'm there, I'm going to serve." Stupid shot clock.

Yikes come on Holger!

I hate the shot clock .

Patrick looks stressed - and I thought he was stepping down from working with him as much?

He seems to have won the crowd over.

Not sure about Patrick. He seems to post more about Holger than he did about Serena!

I see the delayed matches are going ahead now except Big Foe Sascha won his

Alexei is not a fan of rules

Have you ever played tennis?

The umpire said yes!

I am on Alex's side- the total lack of common sense in matches in astonishing at times.

This umpire is one of those people who sit in the car five minutes before everyone else is ready to go!

It's ridiculous Raahh a few seconds isn't going to hurt anyone. Jobsworth umpire l.

Don't know where that I came from
