TENNIS: Back to the European clay

[JaneJeffer]

Looks nice and toasty there. Vamos Rafa!

Oh this umpire can be a bit thick. Just ask Holger

Sunscreen woman

Vintage Rafa there

Oof.

VAMOS Rafa- don't let him get away.

Aargh

I know Xisca I know

This is what I was afraid would happen.

Please avoid the bagel at least.

Poor Rafa.

I just keep reminding myself that Rafa often loses the first set but wins the match

Vamos!

Karaoke Sweet Caroline

Bloody hell- they even have the words for Sweet Caroline and everything.

Shoot me

Hopefully - just don’t know if 3 sets gives enough time for him to get back into it.

No, I think he's been a great houdini in the past over 5 sets.

3 set matches, not so much. And certainly not against Djok.

What's he chundering about?

Who knows? Not enough that he's winning.

Holger has given Patrick the chop again

Has he? How long did that last this time?

Come on Rafa!

Someone commented they're like Ross and Rachel

Ross and Rachel

I am score watching the tennis, I can’t face watching it.

I just wish Rafa had stuck to just playing doubles here. I'm sure he would have been able to- everyone else seemed to drop out!
