Just put Andy and Dan on. They were a break up in the first set but then Andy was broken back. The spectators look cold!

Bugger, they've just lost the first set tiebreak, 8-6. Very close, won the same number of points in the set.

How on earth do you pronounce Seyboth Wild?! Sounds like Saybo Twill or even Sabre Tooth, at times Confused

Stef isn't hanging about today- speedy set this.

Zhang's kit is very pink.

Raahh · 31/05/2024 17:57

Starting to rain, and the roof is leaking Grin

kazzaD66 · 31/05/2024 18:06

Andy and Dan have been playing in the rain for nearly 15 minutes Grin

kazzaD66 · 31/05/2024 18:13

Bugger!

Raahh · 31/05/2024 18:18

I don't really get what is going on with the weather. The Hurkacz match is suspended, Dimitrov and Bergs stopped (Grigor stayed outside, Bergs went in for a bit). They are back on court now.

Maybe it gets wetter on Simonne Mathieu?

JaneJeffer · 31/05/2024 19:21

I think it's See Butch Vilge kazza or Mrs. Bucket as I call him

Just got in for the end of Stef's match. He's playing the doubles and mixed doubles for love he says Grin

Moutet is on now so I expect some madness!

IceandIndigo · 31/05/2024 19:25

Why hasn’t Carlos’ match started yet? You’d think if they have one dry court they’d be using it?

Raahh · 31/05/2024 19:27

Because the night match has to start at 8.30pm (or 8.15, they come out, and are warming up).

It's pretty daft really.

Better than when it was 9pm, though

IceandIndigo · 31/05/2024 19:28

It said it was starting at 8:15, but keeps being pushed back.

Raahh · 31/05/2024 19:29

Moutet and Ofner have been moved to Lenglen, presumably to make sure it finishes.

Which is suiting Moutet, under the roof, with a vocal supposedly sober Grin French crowd.

Raahh · 31/05/2024 19:30

They are definitely starting now. I think the 8.15 time is the time they enter the court- then they have 15 minutes of knocking up/coin tosses etc.

Raahh · 31/05/2024 19:32

Hubi's match finally re-started after a lengthy delay.

RaraRachael · 31/05/2024 19:42

Think I'll watch Alcaraz and Korda with the sound off - can't stand John McEnroe's voice.

IceandIndigo · 31/05/2024 20:24

Why is Mac so terrible at pronouncing players’ names? Who the hell is Sissy-pass?

JaneJeffer · 31/05/2024 21:19

He's Zee Verev's mate Ice

Mac has ran out of things to say and is just repeating himself

VoteHappy · 31/05/2024 21:50

Will he not just SHUT UP!
So distracting

JaneJeffer · 31/05/2024 22:02

Radek looks depressed

IceandIndigo · 31/05/2024 22:11

Well done Carlitos.

JaneJeffer · 31/05/2024 22:13

Well done Carlos. Just too good for Seb

Raahh · 01/06/2024 09:15

Well done to Carlos- and to Moutet too- the atmosphere on court for his match was very loud (I did think after the frist set maybe Ofner would take it, but then Moutet just ran off with it). Corentin makes me laugh.

Some interesting matches today- Hubi's match ^still hasn't finished after all the ins and outs with rain delays yesterday, same for Grigor.
Also Ben and Felix to finish, which is close in the first set.

I think Casper might have another tough one today, against Etcheverry. He would probably like an easy match, after the ADF one.

Sascha should be ok against Griekspoor- but Talon can be a tricky player and cause upsets, so you never know.

Daniil is playing Tomas Machac, and although Daniil has been playing well, he's vulnerable on clay and Tomas has had a great season so far (in his dodgy shortsGrin). I quite like Tomas, but would also love Danill to get far in this, so that could be a good match.

I have every thing crossed that Lorenzo plays his best match ever against Djok tonight.

Settling in to watch Sabalenka vs Badosa. Had surgery 10 days ago and am confined to the sofa .. am watching tennis pretty much constantly !

Raahh · 01/06/2024 12:41

I'm guessing it's raining again- the outside courts are showing as suspended. Play didn't seem to start all that early either. It seems that they 'catch up' with matches, think, that's ok then, and don't look to the future. If the rain carries on the outside courts, they will be playing catch up again.

Raahh · 01/06/2024 13:20

Felix is playing very well, Ben hasn'r really found his clay feet, but Felix has been getting better over the weeks.

Well done Felix.
