TENNIS - French Open - what round are we in?

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

I was watching someone the other day who bounced the ball about 20 times each time before serving - then he'd do a fault and the whole palaver started all over again.

I ended up shouting, "Just hit the bloody ball, will you"

Was it Djokovic @RaraRachael?

They were quite bemused about why he needed to change his trainers for his interview.

@JaneJeffer no it was a player I wasn't familiar with.
Djokovic does annoy me too 😄

Wow, first set Grigor.

I don't really mind who wins this - I really like both of them. I suppose, in theory, Hubi has more years in him.
The winner plays Jannik or Moutet next- so it won't get any easier.

Is Hubi ok? He doesn't look well.

He doesn't seem himself, really. He does look a bit peaky. Not to take anything from Girgor.

Poor Hubi looks sad

he does Fizzy.

Just seen the score on the Jannik match, it hasn't started well for Jannik either. (but it's early days).

I was looking at the draw earlier and realised that if he get past Fritz, Casper plays Djok as early as the quarter finals . (Of course, Francisco is going to beat Djok, do it hope fully won't be a problem .)

Well the crowd are getting behind him.

I wish one of the commentators would stop calling him Hurkats. It's annoying me.

Oh- she heard me

Yes the Hurkats thing was annoying me!

I’ve switched to The Sinner/Moutet match - Moutet is 5-0 up in the first set - who knows how this will end

Jannik wasn't 100% coming into RG, and Moutet has a huge amount of crowd support (and nothing to lose). But I think Jannik could turn it around.

Crikey, was not expecting this score line in Jannik’s match!

Oh dear, come on Hubi. Let it go.

I have never seen Hubi getting cross before

Jane No, he doesn't usually, I think he was more annoyed with himself. He's very mild mannered.

And Moutet has a set!

Wow!

I wish they didn't have breaks. That chat sounded hilarious!

Wow- that was a great shot from Corentin.

oof- well given Hubi's record against Grigor in tie breaks, I don't fancy his chances.

Wow, well done Grigor.

Clay is not the best surface for either of them, really. But it's pretty amazing how well Grigor has been playing this past year.

He should get to have in interview today (didn't get one yesterday, because they wanted to get the Djok match on court quickly).

Well done Grigor!
