Tennis: Adios Madrid, Ciao Roma

[JaneJeffer]

Well done Holger!

Poor Casper- it all fell away. Glad to see a nice meeting at the net, but a difficult loss for Ruud.

Well done Holger!

Well done Holger - that was a good comeback - poor Casper - he’ll be disappointed with that loss I think

Hello Martina

Yay! Martina. Love Martina.

That will give Holger another boost

He seems completely fearless - which will be good if he comes up against Djok in RG

If his shoulder is not an issue, then Rune has to now be a huge favourite for RG. It's all looking very interesting- because I think in Rafa's absence, people will be expecting Carlos to step up. I'm not sure it will be so easy.

What are the odds on Bublik?

Might be pushing it for the women's final to start anywhere near 6.

he's odd on favourite to need the most racquets.

Can't they leave the past in the past this lot??

Love this picture

Only for certain people

Stef really should be favourite for this match, but it depends whether he beats himself.

That is lovely.

I've said before that there really isn't a lot of difference between Rune at 18/19 and Federer.

Except PR.

It's Mo!!!

Yes, Mo centre stage. Forget the players

Rooves or roofs?

Mo doing the old hand out rain gauge

I disappeared for 5 minutes and Mo made it rain.

And it's not exactly tipping down like it was yesterday, when they carried on playing.

I'm going to go and watch a bit of Gaelic while they're chatting about plastic lines

Didn't Rafa trip on one of the lines at Rome the other year?

That's right Raahh I think they had to fix the lines a couple of times where the corners came loose
