Tennis- As we leave Rome (and the ombrelli) it's off to Paris- pack the parapluie!

[Raahh]

I am not paying attention to thread lengths these days .

I've just got back, so I'm catching up on some scores.
Unlucky for Felix- and it's a bit awkward that every time I turn the tv on, he's on the Renault advert . I did think Foggy was a tricky first round opponent though.
Cachin seems to be joining the 'new' group of Argentinians, who have been playing well lately. But maybe Domi can turn it around. Looks like Stan started well, but it could be anyone's match now, I think.

Stan slightly in the lead now but just gone off for some treatment so yes could be anyone’s game - oh he’s back now!

Just seen Arthur Fils - he looks very confident - that could be a good match against ADF - there’s too much tennis on!

And now Alcaraz is starting! At least I managed to miss Djok earlier!

Come on Stan!

Just switched on Carlos.

Phew finally! Well done Stan

Well done to Stan

Carlos is wearing the same strange shorts style that Karen had- paired with a stripey- migraine inducing shirt. I'm not sure I like it.

Fortunately it looks like he might win this quite quickly, so the time sepnt looking at it will be reduced .

So, I've watched Cam, Stan and now Carlos today and no commentary on any of them.
Quite liked it this morning but I'm missing it now.
Watching Eurosport on Amazon. Is it just my TV?

I'm watching Eurosport via my tv/Virgin.

Definitely got commentary for Carlos. I haven't watched on Discovery plus on the tv yet, so don't know if there is no commentary via that.

I’m watching Carlos on Discovery + and there’s commentary - I think some of the outside courts didn’t have any earlier

Those weird shirts must be the in thing Raahh - someone else had them on earlier today - yes I’m not keen on the stripy shirt

Hope that Cobboli can get at least one game

Domi managed to win a third set tiebreak so he’s still in with a chance

Cobolli has a game at last. Well done

Fizzy Nike design department hates the players sometimes.

It does remind me of the black/white zebra pattern type design that Federer wore one year. That made my eyes go funny too (and Serena wore the dress version).

I may have to take the dog out.

I don't think Carlos is in danger of losing.

It's a lot less stressful when Rafa isn't playing. But I would be quite happy for some of that stress now

Thanks, done my usual, turned it off and on again but still no commentary.
Will get DH/DC to look later as there's probably some secret button somewhere that needs pressing!

blib that always happens to me. Someone else will come along, press all the same buttons I have, and suddenly everything works.

Just put it on. Poor Cobolli looks haunted!

Got it working Raahh , used a different profile and Eurosport 1 and 2 was an option rather than just a match feed.
Not sure if I'm slow or Carlos is quick but I've missed most of the match pissing about with it 😁

He looked so happy when he won that game Jane - he was so excited that he forgot to sit down at the change of ends

I’ve now completely changed sports and am watching the footy - it’s the last few minutes of extra time for ‘our’ team’s play off at Wembley - it could go to penalties - eek! I’m not a footy fan but just want DH and DS’s to come home happy

I much prefer watching the tennis!

Phew - no need for penalties! Right - back to the tennis

Thiem’s match has gone into a fifth set - there’s too much going on!

Nice to see Cobolli has managed a few more games.

Just seen the scores in the Thiem match- looked like that might go away from him after all his efforts to get back to a 5th set, but he could get the break back.

I had to go and do things. Glad to see the score is more respectable from Coballi's point of view.

Has Carlos lost some weight? He looks very streamlined.

I don't think they're pronouncing his name properly

It could be the stripes, Jane making him look toned. Like a green stripy optical illusion.

It must be a pisser when the draw comes out to see you're up against Carlos.

Well done Cobolli!
