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

[JaneJeffer]

Clare is bloody obsessed by Padel - another thing to be annoyed by!

I'm wondering how Billy has Adidas gear when poor Dan had to wear his Tesco tops for years
#justice for Dan

ooh transit van pics! Has he actually got a house - not sure about him having his breakfast next to someone’s hedge

I don't like Claire's wear every colour under the sun at the same time style either Fizzy

Fizzy I've been really grumpy today. No reason, just because.

Oh good, it's t'other Andrew.

I couldn't be doing with listening to AC tell us about the transit van , that has just been discussed at length, again. .

Billy seems like a nice bloke, and I hope he's made some money out of this, but like all Plucky Brits who win a match at these things and have AC claiming they will win Wimbledon next- we will probably never hear from him til next year- when he gets a wild card to the qualifiers.

But I do like Lore. And he suits the yellow.

I think Dan's extra curricular activities and ban made him not quite what the sponsors were after for a while Jane .

(Though not keen on the design of Billy's kit- it looks grubby from a distance, like it got washed with a black sock).

Not sure what the laundry facilities are like on that transit van Raahh

Clare just annoys me generally Jane

DH just asks me to tell him who I do like (it’s a very small list )

Fizzy no, he's probably borrowed the kit from the 'players lost propery' box.

(I'd love to think they have such a thing, old kits left behind by the 'big' names that any one can just wear).

When Andrey started making his own gear he gave all his old stuff to one of the younger impoverished players.

We've all been a bit moody this week haven't we In my defence it's pissing rain and I have a horrible cold/fluey thing.

I think that's really nice, Jane.

He's a good human person.

The players must get through loads of kit so I do hope it goes to a good cause

Andrey is a good human person (apart from to himself)

I can’t even blame the weather Jane - it’s nice and sunny here (for a change)

Hope you feel better soon

I feel like I'm watching a WW2 film with all the plane noises

What! He’s not even got the bloody transit van anymore?

Andrew Cotter will be in trouble for spoiling that story!

I missed that Fizzy have they been lying to us?

Apparently he’s not been living in it for a few years

Andrew Cotter said that it’s not featured on his SM for a while

I'm score watching.in a hot car.

So basically, they knew nothing about Billy Harris so had to dredge up a non story about a vehicle he used to own, to make him sound interesting.

Poor Billy. Not even a Fake Brit, with ballet dancer parents or half a dozen passports like Norris.

Although you could be right about his criminal sounding name!

Andrew Cotter rumbled them by asking if he still lived in the van - Clare will be furious! She loves a backstory

That's a strange sad story

Well done Lorenzo!

Shame but a very good couple of weeks for Billy!

I didn’t get to watch Billy at all, hopefully he is able to maintain some momentum from here. I like Lore too, glad he’s through. It feels like anyone’s tournament now with the top 4 seeds all gone.
