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!

Yay! VAMOS

Vamos! Great to be back fangirling

Vamos Rafa - true Jane

I have definitely missed watching him play (but only when he's winning - I don't want the stress of a tight match yet!).

I think Alex de Minaur might be a bit more of a challenge but yes it’s definitely good to see him back

I mean, does Nick Lester think we were really only watching that because we were waiting for Cam Norrie ?

I want to see Goody the Dragon/Fish.

Have they sacked him?

I was!

Fizzy

Oh no I’d forgotten about Goody the Fish Monster!

Rafa must be important - they showed 2 seconds of his interview - I hate Sky! Now where’s Cam!

I know, a whole 3 seconds, and most of it was out of sync. .

I've just seen that Stan lost earlier in Bucharest, which is a shame,

Well done Arnaldi- be careful whacking balls at the crowd, you can come a cropper doing that.

he's a happy bunny

Oh is Norris playing next. Funny they didn't mention it.

Glad Rafa is through, was only able to watch the first few games. Hope he can come through against ADM!

I've just seen that Norris went through, after Mayot won the second set on a tie break- and then retired, which is a shame.

I have really not planned this week well. I have agreed to go out for coffee tomorrow morning and will miss Casper's first match (though knowing Sky, they will probably show Munich anyway. Jack Draper is playing first thing .

I don't know why they're showing a Norris replay when there's games underway in Bucharest

Well done Jack!

And well done RBA. He's so lovely.

Well done Jack and RBA!

I think ADF had a walkover against Machac - just wondering if Rafa’s match will still be played at 3pm? I’m WFH so need to be strategic with my lunch break

It must be weird playing on a court named after you - I still think they should have waited until he’d retired

I’ve just seen that Casper’s match has just started on that court so probably will still be about 3pm for Rafa - apparently he likes that time - they’re probably so happy to have him there that they’d let him play at midnight if he wanted to

They're flitting about from one tournament to another. They may as well divide the screen into 6 and leave everything on!

Technical issue with RB

I know Jane - I literally blinked and it had swapped to the Zverev match and now it’s Naomi Osaka
