TENNIS: Back to the European clay

[JaneJeffer]

I was ironing during the ceremony . The trophy scares me, I always think they might drop it on their foot.

I think I'd prefer the cow bell

Here we go.

VAMOS Rafa.

Borges is very yellow.

Nice having your bank balance written up for everyone to see

Vamos Rafa you slowcoach!

Bloody Sky has gone off again because it's raining

Come on Rafa, I have to go out in half an hour!

Borges moaning about Rafa taking his time

There's a shot clock isn't there?

Can they stop moaning about the time. Honestly- can they not just enjoy the tennis?

Exactly. And it gets used (like 4 hours into a match the other day ).

Please hold serve Rafa! Just once.

Hmm.

I'm getting deja vu.

Aargh come on Rafa!!

Flipping hell they expect Rafa to be playing like he was 19 years ago!

I've had to switch to tablet because of F1 and it's lagging behind

I've just started watching - I'm hoping that this match will follow the pattern of Rafa's other matches this week - I've not got anything else planned this afternoon so hopefully it won't all be over in 20 minutes

I'm now score watching, so fingers crossed this will be the same as the other matches.

Maybe not 4 hours though!

Vamos Rafa! You have to win this!

Not looking too good now for Rafa

(I'm trying reverse psychology and hope that I will be proven wrong)

Boo

A real shame he couldn't win, but I was expecting Rafa to only play doubles this week, so each match has been a bonus.

My tactics didn't work - well done Nuno - just wish I could have seen more of Rafa - maybe today was just a step too far for him

Hope he'll be OK for the Olympics

Arthur is 4-1 up against Sasha
