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 .

this set is going the way the 3rd one did,

Come on Casper!

I have got to go out in a bit.

Hopefully Casper will finish this match soon.
Holger has started- only on the 3rd game.

Just joined Holger/Francisco for the second set. Holger struggling to win his service game.

I have just got in to see that the match seems to be swinging in Francisco's favour and the commentators are a bit confused.

Coco seems to be doing ok though.

I think Holger needs to do a Djok and just let this one go and then concentrate on the next two!

Jane I think you might be right.

I'm confused

There appears to have been a double bounce- and the crowd are clearly on Cerundolo's side now. The commentators are clear on it being a double bounce.

I couldn't see it properly

The shadow is not helping matters.

Francisco looks like he's talking to the invisible man

They both seem out of sorts

They're making me laugh the way they're both battling themselves more than each other

There is a lot of muttering going on with both of them.
Hard to tell at the moment which way it will go, they both keep going a bit up and down.

This is a weird match

Jane they really are.

Francisco kind of disappeared that game.

it is an odd match.

It is Fizzy but like the commentators said it's interesting too

Francisco at the moment

Trainer for Holger. He'll get a time violation now

I think Holger's team needs to do a better job noticing when he's getting dehydrated and telling him because it seems to take him a while to realise he's a bit out of it because he's dehydrated IYSWIM

They are not letting the incident with the double bounce go, are they?
(even dd1 was intrigued and looked it up on twitter- she's in cam 'double bounce' ).

It does seem to be a pattern with him, Jane- and it's happened in a few tournaments in the same way.

No- we DO not want to see an underarm serve, thanks.
