Tennis: Going for Gold à Paris

Haha, no disguising those skinny chicken legs!

Carlos just gave away a break after getting agitated by people walking around, umpire says they’re apparently allowed to do that now.

I think the players should be allowed to hit balls at those people. They're so bloody annoying. If you want to go for a walk do it somewhere else!

Omg Carlos just smashed his racquet

Yes apparently Laura thinks it's fine for people to wander around when players are trying to serve

Oh dear big racquet smash from Carlos - I think he's rattled!

Carlos did give that racquet a proper smashing

I feel like Rafa is shaking his head somewhere Fizzy.

Yes I was thinking that Rafa wouldn't be too happy Ice

Carlos is having a mare out there!

Carlos is definitely not very comfortable- and I'm on his side about the wandering about.

No doubt this is gearing up to allowing it at the US Open, where it will be on a bigger, noisier scale , and the players won't be able to say anything.

Casper is down a set to Felix, he is a bit off his game lately, but he hasn't well either, and withdrew from Montreal.

Well done Gael!

Carlos was certainly out of sorts in that last set.

Well done Gael.

My sky stopped working so I missed the end of the match - grr! Well done Gael

I like Felix’s purple kit. Casper not having a good time, I wonder if he’s a bit sick still.

Casper 0-5 down in set 2, so it's going from bad to worse for him, and this is his first and only match before the US Open too (unless he can get some matches in next week).

That's not good preparation for him. No commentary, so don't know if there's a problem of if he's just being outplayed.

Premier League is back. I am mainlining chocolate hobnobs.

X post, he could still be ill. He seems quite slow.

Sounds like an excellent plan Jane

How come the football channel works perfectly?

Avoided a bagel, so that's something at least.

Well done Felix, Casper looks like he need a good sleep.

Camera man is drunk.

Well done Felix. Casper definitely looking a bit pale, hope he’s ok.

Jannik has a walkover against Jordan Thompson. Looks like they’ve moved Ben Shelton’s match to centre court.

There’s some issue with the line calling system on centre court, Mo is making them reset it.
