TENNIS - When in Rome - the clay court season continues!

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

Norris has lost, and Gael gets the night match.

Daniil is due to play soon too.

I can't find Maria on the app

Gael looks like he’s having fun! Is Medvedev part of the night session? I still don’t really understand the night sessions

I think I will watch Holger v Dan tomorrow - might give Djok a miss (he’s got the evening session) unless it looks like he’s going to lose - he was a bit weird in his press conference yesterday saying something about not wanting to open Pandora’s Box

Rafa’s press conference also sounds interesting - he said that for the last two years his body has been a jungle - one day snakes were attacking him and the next day a tiger

I think Daniil is on Simonne Mathieu, now that the Sakkari match has ended. (sadly she lost).

Got to love a bit of Rafa-ish

And I think Djok is just doing his 'playing down his chances' thing. He's in it to win it. And will bring up any excuses to cover why he doesn't.

Yes I’m not sure if he said that in English or if it was a lost in translation moment Raahh

I still can;t get my head around the pronunciation of Seyboth Wild.

Definitely don’t want to open Djok’s Pandora’s Box - dread to think what might be in there!

It never sounds anything like it should do!

Tickles me that some of them seem to manage 'Seyboth Wild' and can't get Zverev right.

Tim has definitely been practising!

I have Daniil on my phone- he appears to be wearing a version of the hoof trainers again. He's got leggings on and odd length socks.

I'm assuming he will strip before he plays. (Not completely).

Oh, he's leaving the leggings on. Makes him look skinnier than normal. And the white socks looks strange.

I like the rest of the kit though (bar the shoes )

I don't like the umpire cameras. It's too much like my vestibular system!

I think Gael is getting younger looking!

He does look good Jane - I think the white kit suits him

Tiafoe has just won in five sets

Daniil’s shoe/sock combo is putting me about - I think he must have removed the leggings - he does look as if he’s got hooves

So many matches still being played!

A while ago they showed Big Rafa with Little Rafa - was very sweet

I think I might be all tennis-ed out now

Foggy looks to be heading for a win!

Well done Gael and well done Our Fabio

Shame it wasn't a 37 year old hat trick today 🥲

yellow seems to be the in colour this year!

I guess it's raining in Paris as there doesn't seem to be much happening
