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!

Who knows with Sky Raahh - I switched off when Gigi and Tim were chatting nonsense when there was perfectly good tennis to watch

Eek I’m feeling a bit nervous about Rafa tomorrow - yes hopefully there will be a bit of a Danielle Collins effect - just hope that his body holds up

The Gigi/Tim chat was really annoying, Fizzy- it would be find if there was one tournament in play, and it was a washout. But not when there is a choice of 4 or 5. .
If I want to listen to a pod cast I will- if I'm tuned into a tv channel, I want to watch the tennis.

Very happy, just managed to get Wimbledon tickets! Same as I had last year, No 1 court on Day 1, so guaranteed to see some tennis. I think our tickets are right at the back but I don’t care!

Oh that's great Chessie hopefully the weather will have improved by then

Fonseca has beaten Sonego in Bucharest

I was watching that Jane but didn’t realise it was in Bucharest! Sky drive me mad with their chopping and changing between tournaments. I’m assuming they will be showing Rafa’s match on their main channel but who knows!

Well done in the Wimbledon tickets Chessie - I’m very - doesn’t look as if I’ve been successful this year

I saw Sonego lose, and then went out- I've now got in to see that Rublev is down a set to Nakashima (in Barcelona) and have to go back out again in a little while- but hope to be back in time for Rafa.

Chopping and changing from one tournament to another is giving me a headache.

We have had massive hail stones again. I'm glad to see the weather is better on the continent. (whichever bit of it I am currently watching ).

Oh great the picture is going wonky

Here he comes! Squee!

Eek - it’s Rafa time!

Everyone is so happy to see him. That walk on is so narrow

Of course it's Mo

Of course it’s Mo! He will be thinking that the crowd is there for him

I feel a bit sorry for Cobolli

The reception for Rafa is making me feel sad for when he’s no longer playing - got to appreciate him while we can - I like his pink and mauve kit - happy colours

I feel nervous

I bet Cobolli is nervous!

Yay! Made it home just in time.

VAMOS!

Even saying his name got a big cheer.

Of course it's Mo
The star of the show

Congrats on the Wimbledon tickets Chessie did you get them in the public ballot?

Vamos!

I'm not sure that Rafa winning a practice set vs Rublev is much of an indication, given that he can't win anything atm

Well done on Wimbledon tickets Chessie
All* *3 of us got them last year through the LTA but nowt this year.

Who cares about Cam Norrie!

Wish I was in Barcelona (for many reasons!) - it’s bloody freezing here!

Vamos Rafa!

My thoughts exactly- I bloody hope they are not planning on moving to his match when it starts.

Sky.
