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 .

Every year, it makes me smile when I see all the people sitting in deckchairs, watcing the screens at RG.
It just doesn't seem very Parisian

Fizzy I must admit I have never much liked watching Kokk, even though he doesn't offend me quite as much as Dick- the two of them together are just too much.

oof- just watching Azarenka- and poor Bianca has gone flying.

I really enjoyed Kokk v Andy at the AO. It was a great match. Dick is a bad influence on him.

It would be funny if they had hankies on their heads Raahh

I missed it yesterday but Djok wrote something about Kosovo on the camera after he won - I think I prefer Stef’s randomness!

Hankies would be good

Djok is an idiot. But we already knew that.

This match all boils down to how much Gael wants to get out of childcare

Poor Baez always seems to end up with the crowd against him for no reason but the nationality of his opponent.

Djok wrote some Serbian nationalist crap. I wish he would just go away.

Saw some comments by Daniil about how he doesn’t like the clay because it ruins his socks sounds like normal service has resumed there.

Some long matches already. Pella must be exhausted, 5 sets and 3 tiebreaks!

Well done Guido!

Baez is wearing the same outfit as Gasquet and also looks small in it. It's some kind of optical illusion outfit!

Bianca has beaten Vika after quite a tussle, well done to her!

But now I've googled he's 5' 7"

Bianca’s French is really bad, I thought all Canadians could speak French!

He looks tiny Jane!

I think it's just in Quebec but I don't know where Bianca lives

It's funny how Diego's height is always mentioned- loads of diminutive comments- - Seb's isn't so much(that I've noticed) and they are the same height!

It's like the Sascha is 6 foot 6 thing Raahh even though he's not the only one or even the tallest they say it every time. And then we repeat it on here

Quebec is the French-speaking province Jane but it’s an official language everywhere. I lived in New Brunswick for a while and everyone there seemed to speak it. Bianca is from Toronto I think.

That's strange then Ice!

Where's Jim Courier? Has he been around so far?

Don’t tell me you’re missing Sleepy Jim Courier Jane?

No Fizzy it's just when they said Philippe Chatrier it reminded me of DS1 doing his Jim impersonation and I realised I hadn't heard him so far

they’ve probably locked him in a cupboard and he’s happily rambling away to himself (bit like AC at the O2)

This programme looks interesting

Thanks Fizzy I've put that to record so I don't forget.

Gael is having a great time
