What happened to Jiri? What's his injury?
I've never known a tournament like it.
Granollers and Zeballos withdrew from the semis because of injury I believe!
Nuts!!

Apparently it’s a recurrence of a back injury kazza. He went off for a MTO and then came back, only to collapse quite dramatically after a couple of points. Really sad, he was obviously devastated.

kazzaD66 · 03/05/2024 20:30

Thanks Ice
He* *looked distraught at the net, from what I saw on SM

Fizzywinegum · 03/05/2024 20:58

Oh no - I haven’t managed to watch any tennis today - poor Jiri - it’s been a strange tournament

Raahh · 04/05/2024 15:20

Rome looks like following Madrid in being low on top players- Jannik has withdrawn due to the issues with his hip. I'm not that surprised- he will want to be fit for RG. Disappointing for him not to be able to play on home soil.

Just need Daniil to drop out now, don't we? Hmm

I know whose announcement I'm waiting for...

Poor Carota Boys don't get the home tournament 🥕

No Sad
Maybe they can go and support the Lorenzos. Grin

JaneJeffer · 04/05/2024 15:56

I'd love to join them Grin

Meanwhile , Jordan Porntache and Seb Korda are close to winning the doubles. Which might shut up Colin Fleming, who was quite sulky about them beating Jamie Murray- even though Jordan actually plays quite a bit of doubles (usually with Max Purcell).

ChessieFL · 04/05/2024 15:59

Pen malfunction there!!

Raahh · 04/05/2024 15:59

Me too Jane I can be a carrot.

Well done Seb and Jordan.

See- it's a 4th title for Jordan in doubles this year. And he whacked himself in the eye with his racquet last night Grin ouch!

Very splodgy camera work guys!

JaneJeffer · 04/05/2024 16:00

Oh no and he has such lovely eyes. That's like something I would do being a total klutz.

He does have very twinkly eyes!

Raahh · 04/05/2024 16:17

Given all the injuries this week, I don't really see that encouraging more singles players to play both singles and doubles is actually a wise idea.

They might end up with no players left to play either ! Grin

JaneJeffer · 04/05/2024 17:26

I'll be score watching the women because the rugby is on and I don't want to use the tablet with earphones because Aryna will deafen me!

Very wise, Jane.

Aryna reminds me of an ice cream in her yellow/pink kit.

At least the women have ended the tournament with the number 1 and 2 player still in play Grin.

Raahh · 04/05/2024 17:43

I don't know if Iga always has a cold, or if blowing her nose at the end of a game is as much a part of her 'thing' as setting up bottles is for Rafa- because she always seems to do it!

All the excited kids 🥰 hope his leg is okay but that sock doesn't look like it will do much!

Interesting look for Rafa there Grin

Raahh · 04/05/2024 17:50

That is a very funny sock!

it would be most unfortunate if Iga was allergic to clay. Grin

Maybe it's all the flowers Grin.

JaneJeffer · 04/05/2024 17:51

The Romans are so happy to have Rafa there and are gone wild posting about him Grin

Maybe it will catch on kazza- next season, all the players will be wearing the Rafa pop-sock.

Or maybe not.
