TENNIS: A new champion in Paris, then on to the grass

[JaneJeffer]

Matteo looking good against Denis Shapovalov.

GBs Francesca Jones has just come off court in Nottingham due to rain.

Serving at 6 5 and 30 all in the 3rd set

I've missed most of today, because ds made an impromptu trip home to go to the dentist.

No surprise that Rafa isn't going to Wimbledon- I'd have been more surprised (and a bit worried) if he's said he was going really.

Glad that Matteo got another win- I hope it continues.

How frustrating for Fran Jones. She probably only needed a couple more minutes! I hope she can serve it out whenever they resume play.

I’ve been at work today so just catching up on scores - but of an upset for Norris!

I'm watching RCB v Raonic. The volume is mental. It goes from barely audible to really loud. The DJ has an interesting playlist as well!

Jack PJ has been upsetting opponents all week but obviously this is the biggest by far!

Oh no Struff has to withdraw due to illness

That’s a shame about Struff.

Watching Big Foe against Jack Draper. Foe somehow manages to look great in anything he wears, I wouldn’t have picked ice blue to be his colour but he looks amazing.

I wouldn’t have picked ice blue to be his colour

It's because he's so cool

I haven't been able to watch much this week.

Big Foe does look good.

At least I can hear Naomi today.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba baaa man seems to have turned up in Stuttgart, I was hoping thought it was a French thing

Well done Jack. Hard luck Foe.

Good to see the rain has stopped again in Stuttgart-and Matteo is doing well. They were showing a repeat of last year's final when I went out- very different weather last year !

Fergus demonstrating how to toss the coin to the little boy was hilarious

Why does nobody ever ask Bublik about his leg and why it's still taped up?

Sasha retired. I don't really know what the problem was.

Lorenzo has to play Matteo next 😬

I always thought he had a tattoo he was trying to hide Jane. Hope he’s ok.

I was watching Osaka/Andreescu. And 3 people rang me, and I have basically missed most of the match.

I had forgotten how much I dislike automated line calls.

They could at least vary them a bit.

maybe

Battle of the Italians in Stuttgart later, with Lorenzo and Matteo in play. So that should be nice to look at a good match .

Over in Den Bosch, Seb Korda has won, and Jack Draper is currently 1 set up against Nakashima.

Another drizzly miserable day here. My feet are freezing.

Lovely to see Matteo playing again.

Chessie it really is. I hope he manages to stay healthy for the next few months, he's had such a lot of bad luck.
