TENNIS: Back to the European clay

[JaneJeffer]

More weird trophies - looks like the same artist as the scary Rafa statue at RG

Sascha not really helping his cause - he's being a sore loser

More champagne - don't pour it into your eyes Arthur! Oops too late Sascha did it for him - that was weird!

I think they've kissed and made up now

Sky left that very suddenly!

I think that Sky decided to leave when they started playing the lovey dovey music Jane - very strange

I missed all of that - but I did briefly see the trophies. Sounds like it was an interesting match.

When it came on after Rafa Sascha looked very peaky and apparently had the doctor out in the first set. It was a brilliant final. Sascha really hates under arm serves doesn't he?

I must admit, I'm not a fan of underarm serves. And most of the time, they don't work out anyway.
Sounds like it was a good final though.

Zverev always complains about something when things don't go his way, such a sore loser every time.

After my youth's suffering with Monfils, Tsonga, Paire etc I'm ready to love another entertaining, beautiful French mess who plays for the highlight reel. Let's go Arthur! May your career work out with bigger titles than the other guys.

Just heard the most hilarious umpire announcement to some children "guys behind the court please stop playing tennis"

Aww!

I have just been looking at some scores, ADF has won his first set in Atlanta, so that's good. He needs some decent results.

Vondrousova and Hubi have both withdrawn from Paris due to injuries.
I see the GB squad went over on the train today.

Maybe poor Hubi was offended by his criminal looking picture on his Olympics pass!

There are quite a few of the top players missing from the Olympics, for various reasons.

Andy has announced he is retiring after the Olympics. Hope he manages to put up a decent showing there - would be a shame if his final event was just losses.

I know. Let's hope he wins at least one match! (And preferably more, obviously!)

If all the players with bad photos didn't turn up there would be hardly anyone there! (maybe only Katie Boulter )

Hope that Andy manages to get a few wins - I'm glad that he's finally calling an end to his career - hope his back is OK

Feeling nervous about the Olympics draw - hope Rafa gets a kinder one than at RG

Well done Matteo. This interviewer is a bit bonkers

I think Rune is likely to miss it as well due to his wrist injury.

And Sinner hasn't been able to go there yet because he's ill.

Apparently Andrey had a "big chat" with Marat Safin about his mental problems and feels that it really helped him. Let's hope so! He's going well here so far!

I was always a big fan of Marat- he was a fiery one at times.

Re- the Olympics , I'm starting to think Djok is nobbling the opposition to get his hands on a medal.

Oh God yes I wish Holger would stop practicing with him

I've just switched on to see Borna getting his blood pressure taken

He's absolutely dripping with sweat

I bloody hope Djok doesn't win. It's the only thing he hasn't got and he's desperate to win gold.

Perhaps Jamie Murray is pulling a DJ shift between matches Jane
