Rafa seems a bit more comfortable that Carlos so far I think

The black rod thing is a French Olympic tradition apparently where each new sport to be played (ie men's doubles) is announced by some stick banging

Yes, I thought Rafa would be happier with doubles than Carlos, he really hasn't done much of it.

Interesting about the 'black rod' thing - BJK looked very odd doing it, and I've never seen it before Grin

I haven't managed to see any of Rafa/Carlos but I see they got the first set. Rugby 7s or whatever it's called was on

Lore and Francisco have just started their final

Great tiebreak from Rafalitos!

GrouchyKiwi · 27/07/2024 19:22

Seeing Nadal rearranging his shorts constantly reminds me why I never enjoyed watching him. He needs better undercrackers. The Argentinians have excellent net work.

Raahh · 27/07/2024 19:24

Not the best start to the second set.

VAMOS Nadalcaraz!

Raahh · 27/07/2024 19:30

That's better!

Is Musetti playing at the Olympics? Hope he's not travelling by train!

DH is making tea - he's got that look of haven't we just gone through all the tennis thing with the French Open and Wimbledon and now it's on at the Olympics - hee hee <evil laugh>

I wonder if Rafa will play in the singles? He's due to play second tomorrow

JaneJeffer · 27/07/2024 19:51

He's in Croatia Fizzy Umag final

JaneJeffer · 27/07/2024 19:53

I think he is on the Olympic team

Never enjoyed watching Rafa Grouchy? sacrilege!

Yay! Vamos

Raahh · 27/07/2024 19:59

Rafa Jnr is getting used to this.

Fizzywinegum · 27/07/2024 20:00

Yay well done Nadalcaraz! Loved that Smile

I did wonder what was going on with them, Jane, a very tight turnaround for them .

Fizzywinegum · 27/07/2024 20:05

Eek - Planes, Trains and Automobiles - they'll be exhausted

JaneJeffer · 27/07/2024 20:41

Just what they don't need; a third set!

JaneJeffer · 27/07/2024 20:55

Oh dear Francisco 🤦🏻‍♀️

Looks like Angie's won the first set in her match, so she may extend her time before retiring.

JaneJeffer · 27/07/2024 21:26

"Purple patch" is the phrase du jour

Francisco's sister is proper scary!

Angie's won- another disappointing Olympics for Naomi.

JaneJeffer · 27/07/2024 21:41

Well done Angie

OP posts:
Raahh · 27/07/2024 21:46

I like Angie, I feel like she is retiring a little reluctantly - but hopefully it's the right time.

Ooh- come on Lore! (though I do like Francisco).
