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 haven't been able to watch til now. I did hope that Grigor would be able to put up something of a fight.

Close in the Nishioka/Etcheverry match.

The Windy is back tonight.

It's funny hearing the brass band playing Harry Styles. It's all very different to the dj in Madrid. .

Dimitrov is playing quite badly against Zverev, it's a very poor quality match, especially for the night match.

Well done Sascha

And Etcheverry has gone through as well.

Yes it was a bit of a disappointing match, thought Grigor would make more of a contest of it. Well done to Sascha though. And Etcheverry.

I missed most of the matches in the end, but caught the final sets whilst score watching. I also thought Grigor would make it harder for Sascha. Good win for Etcheverry- bit of revenge for Argentina..

I'm out most of today, but should be back hopefully in time to see that Karen has beaten Djok.

Come on Karen!

I've left it on in the background so I can keep an eye.

Break for Karen - finally

Djokovic gesturing for something: figs, magic juice, satan?

I've just got home ( and come out again, so scire watching).
Shame for Svitolina.

Come on Karen!!

Satan .

I don't trust him. He probably needs plugging in via the thing he has stuck to his chest.

Kinks in the armour Mac?

I’ve got it on in the background as well - come on Karen! Hopefully Robodjok will malfunction …

I wonder if Mac wonders if he’s the only person pronouncing Joke-ovic correctly? I did also hear him refer to Court Leng-len (as in Len Goodman) the other day - he must do it on purpose

Someone needs to compile a lexicon of McEnroe

I often think Mac must pronounce things wrong ly on purpose . He has to hear other people, surely?

His pronunciation of Leicestershire is one of my favourites as well as thinking than someone from Worksop was phoning in from his workshop

Come on Karen!

Good on ya Karen

Well played Karen

Djok is getting hot and bothered - having his usual rant to his box

Scary lady on her feet cheering him on. I wonder what her role is in the team.

The "little kid Rune" pronounced Roon

Now he's saying it properly

I haven't seen the artist Joel Blanc so far this year
