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 .

Much better than gurning

The level has dropped ? Give them a break mate, it's 12.15- and they've been playing for 3 and a half hours!

Probably yes Raahh

The moon looks amazing here as well Jane - me and DH also had the moon chat! I once tried to take a picture of the moon when it was massive and it looked rubbish

Still not sure how this match is going to go - so many errors from both of them!

Well done Sascha.

Shame for Big Foe.

But I do need sleep.

Oh well done Sascha - now I can go to bed - phew - Grigor next

Well done Sascha. Nice hug at the net.

I once watched a BBC News segment about how to take photos of the night sky using a phone camera but it was too complicated.

Well done Sascha! I do feel sorry for Foe, he seemed the better player for most of that last set. Goodnight all 😴

Goodnight Ice

Nice interview

Babsy 🇮🇪

Ons having period chat in the press conference without saying period Good for her.

Tim is more chill about periods than Mats!

I am still on holiday so haven’t managed to see any of the tennis yet, but am going home today so will hopefully be able to see some although I’ll be back at work so probably only the night matches. It’s not the same without Rafa though. I agree that after 5 months out he’s going to struggle to achieve much in his final season - it was sad really to see Roger’s playing career just sort of peter out like it did so hopefully the same won’t happen with Rafa.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Djok’s career just peter out though…

Chessie Rafa has had many long injury breaks inhis career-and for the most part came back stronger- until this year. Even last year he managed to do so well-- for half of it. But he's been younger- and the 'next gen' have not been 'ready'. And there are more of them now.

So it will be very different next time round. It will be more a case of coming back - probably to say goodbye.

I would be more than happy to see Djok fade away. Or some scandal to come out. Those figs have got to be dodgy...

I am worn out after watching last night . I'm not used to the late nights anymore.

Stupid super bikes

Hope you had a good holiday Chessie

Alize!

Why are they showing me topless Djok now? 👿

Vamos Juan Pablo!

Djokovic telling the crowd to cheer him is just revolting. He's so insecure 🤮

Anyone going to watch Alcaraz v Musetti? Looks like an attractive match-up.
I don't think I will be purchasing a replica green striped outfit though.

I've got the women on and the moment Majestic I will probably change over. I'm in a bit of a stupor.

I was watching Sonego and had to go out - I really thought Sonego was going to win.
I am glad that I missed Djok.

I think this match couldbe quite tight really, if Musetti plays well- Lorenzo is a very good player and Carlos has shown recently he is beatable, so it should be a good one.

I'm not keen on the green kit. I prefer the blue version (though I'm not keen on the design over all-- the flappy leg bits on the shorts are just a bit odd).

Jane I haven't been very well all week, and feel a bit like a zombie. I am so tired all the time- and staying up to watch last night didn't help. .

I don't think it will be a late one tonight.

I always have an eye to 'who can bet Djok' though. I actually think Lorenzo could if he played his best (still bitter about 2021).

*beat Djok, that should be.

I’m watching Carlos-Lorenzo, they are wearing the green kit in reverse versions. I quite like Carlos’ stripy version. Lorenzo started well but I think Carlos has woken up now.

I haven’t watched Djok at all this tournament. I’m trying to pretend he doesn’t exist.

Ice it is defnitely best to pretend Djok doesn't exist.
