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 .

The tennis has been great so far and it’s only day 2!

Poor Domi - really thought he was about to turn things round

I’m now watching ADF and Fils - Arthur’s trainers are very pink!

I’m not really a fan of Mats as a presenter/interviewer - he always seemed very quiet and low key as a player (ie not v interesting) so was surprised when he went into presenting - I miss Fabrice!

No adverts on Discovery + - I don’t work for them honestly but best £6.99 I’ve spent this month

Not sure how much I’ll get to watch the next couple of weeks as I’m starting a new job - bad planning on my part!

I forget how exhausting the 5 set format is, and that’s just for the viewers! Sad that Domi lost after that comeback. Haven’t quite got my head around the Discovery+ interface to work out which matches are available, watching Foki and Fils with no commentary but plenty of crowd support! Saw that Felix lost, which doesn’t feel too surprising, really. And Jack Draper had another retirement, must be so frustrating for him.

I miss Fabrice.
I'm also confused by the sudden extended ad /programme about Le Mans, mid match .

Yes, Babsy, it was an amazing atmosphere. Now, stop talking and let us go back to the match!

I seem to have got it on a free trial, even though I subscribe every year for RG 😀

We're still in Europe aren't we?

It's windy there today though- shame it didn't affect Djok's contact lenses.

"Wind is a great leveller"

I thought the night matches were a bit earlier. Not much , but it's a start.

Sinner appears to be wearing a blue version of the Nike flappy/cut out leg shorts.
His top is a better colour than Carlos's

Looks like Chickenato is going out

Poor Chicken. Not the best day for the unexpected Djok slayers then .

QR code eh? It's the future

Bonjour Fabrice. Easy win for Sinner.

The carrots

"He is carrot, I am a snowman"

I’m intrigued by the carrots! Sounds like something that Eric Cantona would say

I kind of like Casper's kit, stripy shorts and an interesting blue/mustard top (and matching shoes).

Ymer's top is bit gaudy.

I missed the Casper match in the end, as I had to take DD1 to have her braces removed, and was there ages.
Good win for him.
Good first win for Ons Jabeur, too.

Very windy again in Paris. Daniil seems to be having a few problems.

I have just seen a picture of the Sinner fans dressed as carrots
