TENNIS- It's CLAY -time! Where Hubi (and everyone else) goes to Monte Carlo!

[Raahh]

Looked like the thread was about to run out- and for once I noticed.

Still sad we can't start this thread with better news of Rafa- but fingers crossed for the next one!

Come on Casper!

Casper is getting rattled

I don’t think Katie had ever played a WTA match on clay before kazza, so the result not too surprising. If Emma can win again tomorrow it might come down to the doubles, which would be fun.

Come on Casper! (though I think Ugo is on a bit of a high at the moment, with the results he's been having).

FFS Casper stop hitting balls to his forehand.

Nice shot Casper

Come on Casper!

The crowds have been very vocal this week.

Crazy tennis!

Wow!

That's better.

Even the aliens are watching

We could do with the aliens abducting a certain someone.

Casper having a wobble serving out the match.

definitely

Oof- that was close.

Well done Casper. Good match

Phew! Well done Casper. Need to do that again tomorrow.

Good match Ugo.

Nice to see Ugo back playing well

I would be terrible at being sponsored because I’d forget to put the watch on

Well done Casper. Unfortunately, I don't hold much hope for him vs the demonic Serb

It does seem like a faff, the watch thing.

Rafa doesn'y take his off, does he? But then it weighs less than a grain of rice, or something equally bonkers.

It’s so dark there compared to here!

I think I saw that it's Matteo's birthday today. Could be wrong though
Also saw that Alan Jones passed away earlier this week. Always remember him as Jo Durie's coach.

No, I want to believe. But I'm not sure.

Maybe he can get dirt in his contact lenses.

kazza yes, it is. Happy Birthday, Matteo. .

Well done Casper. I hope he can beat Djok, but I feel like he gets overawed.
