TENNIS - French Open - what round are we in?

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

First set Sascha then.

They keep mentioning 'the difficult end' of the court- this is the first year I think I can remember them making it 'a thing'. I'm sure it's all because of Djok's whinging.

Which language is Sascha ranting in?

Didn't know that Raahh. Shades* *of Inverdale

Btw, I know I haven't seen a lot of matches, but has anyone seen Mo or has he been sent for retraining after his appalling umpiring lately? Haven't seen Fergus either

I wondered that Jane

Sascha's ball bouncing is getting on my wick! It's getting as bad as Cilic!

I wonder why some of them bounce the ball so much and then others like Holger only bounce it once or twice. It seems to make absolutely no difference to the serve.

I'm sure he and Marin were never as bad a few years ago. It's almost like they've developed the yips and are afraid to serve! He who shall not be named is the same.

Oh dear Alex!

Yeek!

Tiebreak

Well I didn’t know that Simon Reed was Oliver’s brother - you learn something new every day!

I think it’s Tim who keeps going on about the difficult end of the court - I’m still not sure why it’s so difficult

Mini Alex Paul is very cute - it’s a nice story - I’m sure that Alex is a very nice chap (I’m still impressed by his French)

Fizzy I know! I was quite surprised about the Simon/Oliver thing when I found out.

This match is going I longer than I expected really. I thought Sascha might have an easier time of it.

Matches not going the way I thought today!

Alex really should have won this tiebreak by now. He'll kick himself if he loses it.

Hhmm...

Eek - can’t see Alex coming back from this - he started the tiebreak so well

Even Zverev looks tiny on umpire cam!

Really Tim?

I've barely watched any tennis today but just came on here to say I was SO happy to see Chris Evert today. She's looking pretty good and said she feels good too! 😊

Well done ADM

I realise I'm late to the Chrissie party.

Ooh no pun intended

The French crowd love Alex!

While I’m happy that he broke back I could do with an early night

Well done Sascha!

Alex looked tiny at the net against Sascha

He looked like Paul
