Tennis: Going for Gold à Paris

[JaneJeffer]

Chessie I agree, it could also be Sara's last chance ,and the Russians are very young. Jasmine and Sara are such a great pairing- they are very good friends and it would be lovely for them to win this together.

Yes I think I would like the Italians to win but don't really mind

My DH told me to have a word with myself about my attitude towards Djok - whatever!

Most beautiful day of your life Lorenzo? Hmm how about the birth of your son?

Maybe it was raining that day.

But at least we know Andy's record of being the only male singles player to win 2 gold medals will stand until at least 2032!

@Ginandtoniconthedeck watch Djok win another one in 2028 now

I'm just going to say Bloody men! to both your posts Fizzy

Gosh, don’t let him see my post! Hopefully he’ll retire on this high! 🤣

The Russians have gone off a lot quicker than I expected .

DH has put the heating on even though it's 19 degrees which is tropical for here. I'm ready to fall asleep!

Indeed!

Have we got an injury?

oh no. Not what she needed really.

Everyone on court seems strapped up in some way.

Carlos is smiling now.

They do all look a bit patched up Raahh

Luckily Alex didn't make Carlos cry again

Heating??! I would murder Dh if he went near the heating

It's raining here, but it's still pretty warm.

I would not be responsible for my actions if DH put the heating on - my favourite phrase is 'is it me or is it hot in here?'

He is currently redeeming himself by cooking Sunday dinner for 6 while I sit on the settee watching tennis while drinking wine

It's been raining all day but it's not cold!

The brass band makes me laugh.

Lorenzo is watching.

Ok- so, for the last time this tournament- will there be a 3rd Set Tie Break Thingy (TM) ?

Or will the Russians pull it back?

It would be fitting if they had a 3rd set tiebreak thingy (TM) in the final match Raahh

Addams family

lol at the band speeding up to finish The Addams Family in time!

What a rally

Crazy tennis!
