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

[JaneJeffer]

Good win for Matteo.

Looks like Fran Jones has had to retire from Nottingham. Shame for her but good that it removed the necessity for two matches in a day.

Well done Matteo.

I am still fascinated by his hair. Never gets hat-hair, Matteo.

He has lovely hair.

Win for Alex De Minaur too - he’s keeping his hat on so presumably he does get hat hair!

Yes, I think he probably does.

I mean, Matteo even manages to carry off a dull shade of brown.

There's not many can do that.

Sky are showing an old Steffi/Monica Seles match- the outfits are so much more interesting than now. I love Monica's checked skirt. I remember Steffi's top very well though. It has a red pattern on the shoulder does look a bit like a large blood stain!

I’m watching Katie and Emma in Nottingham. Close match so far.

It must be cold there, they’ve both got long sleeves and Katie’s got leggings on!

This tiebreak between Emma and Katie is crazy!

Thought it was never going to end!

Why not serve Jack?

Too much tennis on that I want to watch but we’ve got the in laws coming over for lunch.

Bad timing Chessie

It's annoying that both finals are on now!

Sorry, Jack, but I'm here for Matteo. .

I've seen he's playing Halle this year, rather than Queen's. That's a shame, I liked seeing Matteo at Queen's.

Carlos has a tricky first round against Cerundolo- though I'm not too sure how well Francisco does on grass (I do remember hom playing Rafa the other year).

Oh hello Matteo! Got back from hols yesterday - trying to drag myself out of post holiday blues (not helped by driving back from Manchester airport in torrential rain )

Seeing Matteo is cheering me up a bit (I’m ignoring the dark clouds - here and in Stuttgart)

I saw a bit of Emma and Katie’s match yesterday - the poor crowd looked freezing!

I think there will be TV wars here over the next few weeks between tennis and the Euros

See Jack you should have served first!

Surely Matteo has got to win the tournament sponsored by Boss?

Weather was awful here yesterday. Hope you enjoyed your holiday (if not the return to Manchester).

Yes, Matteo should win really, since it's got 'his' name all over it .

Yes I did thank you Raahh - the welcome back from Manchester airport never fails to disappoint

Korda has the medic out

I’m really torn who I want to win this one - would love Matteo to win after so long out injured, but would also be nice to see Jack win his first title.

Don’t really care who wins the other one - looks like play is suspended there.

I want to watch the end of Emma and Katie’s match too. Again I’m torn who I want to win!

That was a quick set.

I think it would be a real confidence boost for Jack going into Wimbledon if he won here

Good win for De Minaur.

Well done Alex

I wouldn't get too excited about the weather Naomi
