TENNIS - French Open - what round are we in?

[Fizzywinegum]

New thread!

Carlos would be great at Irish dancing

I think 'First final in 20 years without the big 3' needs to be on the bingo card.

It will probably be mentioned quite a bit.

Simon- nearly everyone calls him Alcaraz. Don't start with the Alcarath.

Carlos's dad really looks like a dad. He makes me smile. He looks like he has been made to wear that hat.

Mirra is watching. That's nice.

Sascha's dad is also very dad looking

Jane oh, he is! Some look like they should have sporty kids, and others look like it was a bit of an accident.

Tim Henman's parents always looked like they should all work in the family solictors, or in the bank.

Relieved that Mac is not commentating, that’s half the bingo card gone. Amazing start for Jannik, Carlos often seems to take a while to settle.

Tim’s Dad looked like a bank manager - they looked very traditional (and very much like they should be Tim’s mum and Dad)

They interviewed Caspers Dad earlier - he just looks like a slightly older Casper!

Eek - come on Carlos - Jannik is running away with this

Ice yes, I am glad it's not Mac. He's probably been taken back by the Americans for the latter stages.

(Unless he appears later to mangle 'Z-ver-ev')

It's hard to tell who the commentators are supporting- usually they are biased in favour of someone. I think this match is a hard one for them- it's probably the match that in some ways should have been the final.

I would find it so stressful being a tennis parent.

The Americans can keep him Raahh! Hide his passport.

Mac seemed to have to fill any void with blabbering on about nothing in particular

I was going to say, that Carlos was settling in this match.

Then he lost a bunch of points.

So I won't.

Why are the commentators so pro Alcaraz?
Sinner is n.1, he's playing brilliantly and forcing errors.
He's always overlooked- all the talk is about Carlos.

I think when someone is playing really well there's nothing much to say about them @DaggerIsle plus they want an exciting match and we do too!

Oi Tim- who said you could sit down??

I wonder if Mac had worn himself out playing earlier on so couldn't commentate for this match.

I'll be happy whichever of them wins although I would have liked this to be the final.

Carlos really doesn't seem himself so far.

2nd set vamos Carlos!

Mac is probably warming up his vocal chords for the next match:

Zee Verev
Rune, or Ruud

And repeat

I think he's just warming up @CarlosRightBicep 🤞

Jane yes, interchangeble those Scandinavians, aren't they?
Just, chuck a name out there.

I will be happy with a Casper/Jannik final, so it's going ok for me so far.

But hey-

ABD!!

Come on Carlos, we need a match! Hold your bloody serve.
