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

[JaneJeffer]

he definitely needs it Ice

He’s very cute

They showed the Jannik sun cream ad when I went to see the Challengers film - I think I was the only person in the audience who knew who he was - he needs the Factor 50 with his colouring and he’s a sensible lad

Very clever of Jannik to be sponsoring sunscreen- that is defnitely the sort of advertising that works.

Of course, he now needs to do be in the Aldi Christmas ad , with Kevin the Carrot.

I don’t understand the BBC’s Eastbourne coverage at all. Play is happening now, with two British players currently on court, but coverage doesn’t start until 1pm?

Ice it's on iPlayer (Harriet anyway) - they've not been showing any of the men's matches, which is odd given how many Brits have been in action this week.

I can’t find it on the iPlayer, can only see coverage from yesterday.

I can get the men’s on TennisTV..

Flavio Cobolli is very easy on the eye, he looks like he belongs in a boy band. He’s about to take the first set against Billy Harris.

Harriet was doing ok- a set up, but now she's a 1-4 down in the second.

Court is still quite slippery.

Got a break back now though.

Cobolli has lovely eyes.

Unfortunately, I cannot justify getting tennis tv on top of everything else we have.

I just wish everything would stay in one place !

He is very pretty Ice

I'm half watching Mensik/Tabilo on Sky

It's pissing down here and windy as well. Ugh. DS2 and his gf have escaped to the sunshine. Luckily their flight wasn't affected by the Aer Lingus strike.

I have been watching mensik/Tabilo in Mallorca as well- that's on Sky (surprised they are showing that -they usually prioritise women, and Badosa is playing in Bad Homburg).

Tabilo has just won. Mensik was playing well, but just couldn't find his game against Tabilo,

Tabilo is through. His 5th semifinal this year, impressive!

Straight on his phone to tell everyone

The volume is still terrible on Sky

He's doing really well, Jane- it's been a good year so far for the South Americans in general.

Always.

I don't know why- and I forget, I turn it up so much, and then the ads come on....

Nope still don't understand cricket

Robbie!

"Tough as a woodpecker's lips" 😂

Cricket bores me. I have never really understood it. My mother (who watches loads of tennis ) records hours of cricket. Nothing happens for most of it.

I'm keeping an eye on the Wimbledon quallies scores. Maxime playing again 1-1 at the moment. Goffin is a set down

Poor David. He's one of those players that promised big things- and is still around, but kind of fading away. But still a fighter.

Could they not have given Gasquet a wildcard?
