TENNIS - French Open - what round are we in?

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

No they haven't got through too many matches today Ice

What's the coaches standing up about?

Hubi finally through.

Has taken days (at least it feels like ).

Well done Sascha!

Sascha through- but a bit of a scare. Talon did very well.

Raining again

Not more rain! Grigor’s match from yesterday still hasn’t been resumed! Can’t they just bump Djok?

Bumping Djok, and making him come back at 9am and play on court 14 would be great Ice.

Sadly, it's unlikely to happen.

(Would also be a bit unfair on Musetti).

Come on Lorenzo! (for later- at this rate, I'm likely to fall asleeo before Casper or Lorenzo start their matches).

Champions League final is tonight so I'll have to hand over the telly. Hopefully I'll get a glimpse of Rafa.

Ooh they have put Grigor on Philippe Chartrier!

Hopefully it goes to 5 sets and Djok has to play at 2am.

I was hoping Madison Keys would have a really swift match, but she could be about to lose an early break, and I've a funny feeling her match will end up going the distance , delaying Casper even further. (And a lot like Rafa, I don't think the heavy, cold indoor conditions suit him).

I think that’s right Raahh. Hopefully they’ll actually get to play outdoors in the sun at some point in the tournament!

Play restarted on the outer courts now.

You know, it might have been cold, (and they only had the one roof)- but I don't think even in 2020 the weather caused this much trouble.

Mind you- they also didn't have to factor in spectators, really, and at that point the 'night sessions' were not a scheduled thing- so could start, and play whenever.

Oh pants, Madison has gone to a tie break.

Haven’t seen any tennis - I’m in London for the weekend (not quite realising it would be so crazy for the footy)

I did wonder if Rafa would be here for the match - I’ve been looking out for him 👀 but suspect he won’t be jammed on the tube with about a million other people like I was!

Fingers crossed that Lorenzo will cross the line against Djok this time

Enjoy your weekend Fizzy!

Rafa might be incognito. Possibly in a wig.

Keep your eyes peeled

Thank you Raahh

I’ll look out for Rafa in a wig

Had to turn down the sound with the coach come on-ing for the Dimitrov game.

Might turn to the football instead. The Champions League pre match entertainment look a bit of a mess; too many dancers badly choreographed and throwing Pepsi labelled balls in the air. These things always look a bit rubbish in daylight.

Some idiot has wandered onto the pitch at Wembley

Talking about Rafa wearing a wig might be seen a bit unfortunate these days ☹️😝

Yes. Always assume that they must be streakers if they take the cameras away but maybe not.

Gone are the days of Erica Roe.

Keeping it topical there!

3 of them! 😮 Where's Johnny Bairstow when you need him?

Come on Navarro. I don't actually care which one of you wins. Just so long as one of you does it soon.
