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

[JaneJeffer]

For once I am a flag waving Brit supporter, and absolutely hoping Jack wins this match.

I really don't like Tommy Paul. He's probably a very nice bloke. He irritates me intensely.

Actually, AC has mentioned the racquet spinning. That doesn't help. I want to chop his hands off.

I am neutral on Tommy Paul. He’s a bit irritating but then I find his tennis quite interesting to watch. Still hope Jack wins though.

I think I still haven't got over the fact he topped the list of top 10 best looking male players.
I mean. What??

Top seeds are dropping in the doubles as well, Joe and Rajeev sadly lost, as did Bopanna and Ebden.

It's all a bit all over the place, form wise, this tournament.

Jannik is playing Struff in Halle and is currently 5-2 up. They've had some big upsets too.

I know Raahh he does absolutely nothing for me.

Come on Jack!

I hope Jack picks his game up! It's all a bit flat atm.

What on earth are James Ward and Tiafoe talking about for so long

Come on Jack!

Come on Jack! AC now rapidly rowing back after writing Jack off in the first set!

Struff is up in the tie break in the second set in Halle , against Jannik.

Can't watch but come on Jack!

Struff got the second set

Please don’t play any more drop shots Jack.

Well done Struffy- though I don't mind Jannik winning, obviously, but it's always nice when JLS has a good run.

Who is this Paul chap? Not come across him before

Comes across as a rather cocky American

Why do I get the feeling they won't take this match BBC2 and send it to iplayer at 6pm?

Can't disagree with your perception of Paul crushing* *

Think having no idea of who he is, or heard anything about this has made me form an opinion of him purely on what I'm seeing

Tommy Paul has been around a while (he's ranked just outside the top 10). He's had some big match wins, but hasn't won many titles.

He reminds me of a shorter Isner.

Shame for Jack, he seemed a bit tired towards the end.

Very close for Jannick and Struff- JLS now 5-4 up in the 3rd.

Thanks for the info *Raahh

Yes ** shame that Jack didn't get through

It's probably been a tiring week all round, what with winning in Stuttgart- he's not really had time to process that yet.

He's done really well though his week.

Hope his Boss Bike has been sorted!

I am really not a fan of his . There is something about him that always annoys me. It's probably really unfair!

I just hope he doesn't win the whole thing now!

Marvin's getting animated.

Come on Struff!
