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 didn't watch the end of the Monfils match, but it looked like it turned into an apic, so I glad for the fans (and Amelie) they got a decent night match.

I do feel for Baez really. He came pretty close last year ro beating Sascha last year.

It's funny how certain people have disappeared a bit- like Jim Courier. His commentary always made me feel so sorry for Fabrice .

Yes poor Fabrice

Come on Stan the Man

I would be more than happy to never hear Courier commentating again! He could be locked in that room at the O2 with the butterfly fancier, Petch and Robbie and they can bore each other to tears and leave the rest of us in peace

Jim is so boring. At least AC and Robbie provide some entertainment with the random discussions and Robbie-isms.

Stan was doing well, and now it's all gone pear shaped.
Come on Stan

We have Mac commentating on the Alcaraz match- and he's already said 'Joke-a vic'.

I had to go out, and saw that Stan had levelled his match- but is 0-4 down in the 5th.

The Alcaraz match has taken a turn- but Daniel is one of those players who every so often can produce a big result.

Carlos is looking a bit frustrated.

Come on Stan - I like the finger wagging

How long has this match been going?

Ah shame for Stan - nice hug at the end though

oh Stan
The loss is worse because of the Dick connection.

meanwhile, the Alcaraz match is very up and down. Almost Djok like- Taro got the second set, and now Carlos has raced off 5-0 up in the 3rd.

And Mac is already working out the scores for games that haven't even been played yet

I haven't watched any today. Can't concentrate on anything. The dog has been at the vets for tests and it's not good news I have been trying to distract myself with daft threads on here and cleaning things but now we have to go and say goodbye to him. It all happened so quickly.

Oh Jane I'm so sorry. .

It's such a horrible thing, especially when it is so sudden.

So sorry, Jane. Never easy.

UnMumsnetty hug for you. xxx

So sorry to hear about your dog Jane 💐 Losing a pet never get’s easier.

Thanks Raahh it hasn't really sunk in properly yet.

I've just put Djok on. What's with all the grinning? Yuck

magi and Ice thanks I'm going to miss him so much

I can’t bring myself to watch Djok.

@JaneJeffer
wishing you strength 

Thanks Majestic

I noticed the scary woman chemist is back on Djok's team. She's not been around the last couple of tournaments

A very dull match

Awful isn't it. I don't know why I am watching. But the lad just broke back so some tiny slender hope for him.

Oh Jane I’m so sorry to hear that - take care of yourself

Thanks Fizzy

Does Djok think he's Spider-Man with that jacket? And why are they letting him talk so much?

I’ve managed to miss Djok so far thank goodness - it looks as if Holger and Gael have got the evening slot tomorrow (still no women’s matches!) - I can’t see Gael being able to pull off another miracle!
