TENNIS: Back to the European clay

[JaneJeffer]

Bad timing for Matteo this rain delay

It's very frustrating- he was doing quite well.

I've realised (if it starts on time)I will see the start of Rafa, but maybe not the end. So, probably see him lose the first set, given the way the last couple of matches have gone.

Annoyingly, Sky will not flit from one match to another without announcing where, due to the rain delay for Matteo.

I’ve just turned on to watch Matteo only to see rain! Hope the delay doesn’t affect him.

The match re-started, without me even noticing.

Halys looks like he's in agony

Sweet Bloody Caroline.

Grr.

Good times never seemed so good

Well done Quentin

Well done Matteo! Don't think he gets a bike from scary Boss men though.

I think the trophy is a lump of rock.

Good stuff Matteo!

Well done Matteo! Not a very close match.

mmm. Stripping.

Now is not the time to be showing us the crowd

Very rude of the camera man to move I thought.

See, odd lump of rock, that looks like the mountain at the back.

I presume he can leave it there. I wouldn't fancy lugging that back home!

Well done Matteo! Just got to see the last 2 points of the match!

No, maybe he gets a wee key ring version.

He is a very good looking man. Lovely hair

Matteo doesn't get to go to the Olympics which is sad - too many Italians.

I'm sure commentary (Tennis TV) just said he'd be a threat at the Olympics
So either a lot of Italians are swerving it or, heavens forbid, a commentator is talking bollocks

Europop and clapping whilst 200 people come out on court. Didn't get that at Wimbledon last week.

The cowbell is better than the trophy

That trophy looks very heavy!
