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 .

Stef-cheers! . No, I'm not sure that's the best prep for a slam. Although, maybe it's was Stan's secret?

Annoyingly, now I actually can watch, Eurosport is only showing one live match. . Cycling is on ES1, Rublev on 2- and I've just realised I spent 5 minutes watching a repeat of Stef's match

red wine sounds like a good plan to me and yes maybe it was the secret to Stan’s success (and possibly the BBQs!)

I was today years old when I realised we can get Discovery+ with our Sky Q

Still didn't get to see any tennis though.

That's like me taking years to realise I could watch the Australian open on Eurosport.

I have succumbed to subscribing to Discovery plus. I have made a note on the calendar to cancel it.

In 12 months time, I will realise I never did...

Just watching highlights on Eurosport now. Sad that Maria has gone out

I keep getting confused between Discovery+ and Paramount+ which is another channel I would like to have because they keep showing trailers for things that look really good.

I also randomly found the AO on Eurosport and found you here chatting away to yourself Raahh

I can't keep up with all the different channels and platforms now.

The fact I even typed 'platforms' ffs...

I'm too old for this. Why can't it all be simple ?

I remember that, Jane- I think by that point, I had missed a week!.

Virgin annoys me. We have a very basic package, and every so often it will have channels available for a limited time- which is great- and then they vanish just as quickly as they arrived.

It's really annoying and at the same time I love having the choice of matches. It's a big change from when I first started watching tennis. Wimbledon in black and white and you had to watch whatever match they wanted to show

A brass band

This last match on PC seems to have started quite early for a 'night match' unless it's because it's the first day. I think the 'night' session starts a bit later tomorrow. (Suits me if it starts earlier).

Ugo is très popular

He is- and he has a lovely smile. Well done Ugo.

The cube! Hi Babsy

Ooh look it's Tim.

Bingo! they mentioned his piano playing

(Ugo, that is. Not Tim. I've no idea if Tim can play piano)

Can't picture that

And there's Marion in a a terrible dress. I don't know if she is still 'designing' her own stuff.

Oh, Isner is out. I thought he'd given up already.

Maybe that was just wishful thinking.

I had forgotten that Sakkari lost last year to Muchova too! That is such bad luck.

I was surprised when I saw Isner in the draw.

I can't believe Mats is going to write Maria off already

Did Stef bring the family today?
