TENNIS - clay continues

[JaneJeffer]

Andrey is not happy. I missed why.

I just put it on. Was it a late call?

Adel seems to be the calm down umpire this tournament

Nadal call chat again

Yes any excuse to bring Rafa into it, Jane.

ADF's coach is very camp

This could be a long tiebreak

It really could be, Jane.

OMG

Or not. ADF will regret that one.

ADF is playing some great tennis

I'm pleased for Andrey, but ADF will think he threw away that match in the first set.

I thought this match was going to be over about 10 minutes ago -but Mr Seyboth Wild had other ideas.

I need to walk the dog, so could do with Carlos wrapping things up.

I see Francisco beat Tommy Paul. Well done him!

Well done Aryna. Robin gave it her all.

No sound on the interview

Sascha saying lovely things about Rafa and so respectful of him.

Denis looks a bit nervous

Denis complaining to Nacho because he conceded a line call to Sascha but wasn't allowed to replay the point. I don't understand

Good game Denis. He's having to work twice as hard as Sascha to get anything!

Amazing return from Denis

What was that Sascha? ball ended up in the geraniums

Well done Sascha. Denis worked hard but just couldn't get there.

Sascha 17-0 against lefties since RG according to the interviewer. He puts it down to playing against Mischa

Well done Sascha. I saw the end of the Sabalenka match- it got very close.

Very well done to Francisco- I still haven't got over the '10 most handsome' list with TP at the top. He looks like Charlie Brown's older brother.

Rafa playing in the 'not before 3' slot, and given the matches before that are both women's on Manolo Santana(and one is Iga's ) I can't see it starting late. So I will probably miss the start .

Be interesting to see how he does. I don't think he has played Cachin before, Pedro is a clay specialist as most of the Argeninians are, but hasn't had a great year. Rafa is probably his idol, and he most likely has a guinea pig named after him. (He's only a few years younger though ).

Bit of a dilemma for Sky- the Casper/Norris match is due to start around 2.30 .

Surely they won't show that instead of Rafa (I mean, I'm a big fan of Casper, but still!).

I would like to be watching Shelton/Bublik- but we have Ostapenko/ Jabeur instead. Ons currently in control.

Rafa looking lovely at practice 😍

I have it on in the background but not really paying attention. I think Jelena was a bit out of sorts today.

I wonder if Sasha does as much yapping off court?

If they show Norrie’s match instead of Rafa I’ll shoot the telly

Oh no they’re trailing it so it could happen …
