Well done Lore. He’s had another haircut, boo.

IceandIndigo · 09/04/2025 12:49

Just a bridge too far for Richard. Well done Daniel.

Apparently Xisca is pregnant with baby Rafa number two!

Aww that’s lovely

Caroline Wozniaki is expecting number 3

JaneJeffer · 09/04/2025 13:17

Carlos says he’s just as happy now as when he was world no. 1 so that’s good!

I think that's a good attitude to have, and a good way to shut up the media. They are always desperate to find drama and conflict where there really isn't any- and I think Carlos is concentrating on improving his game and winning matches.

I always remember when Lendl was coaching Murray, and Andy got to number 1, he said that it had actually meant less to him than winning slams. Winning titles was the main goal.

(But Ivan was number 1 for 270 weeks, so maybe he could afford to say that Grin).

Great start for Fran!

Fizzywinegum · 09/04/2025 13:49

Oooh that’s exciting news a bout Baby Rafa no 2!

Pesky work means that I’ve not been able to watch any tennis today (I need to retire!)

This is proving to be a tricky match for Carlos - I like Fran’s kit (not so keen on Carlos’s kit - is it mauve?)

IceandIndigo · 09/04/2025 13:56

I don’t like either kit Fizzy. That yellow on Fran is just too garish for my taste.

IceandIndigo · 09/04/2025 13:58

Wow Carlos!

IceandIndigo · 09/04/2025 14:18

Well that set was a bit different to the first.

Raahh · 09/04/2025 14:22

It certainly is a turnaround.

I can’t get used to the automatic line calling on clay. I miss the little ritual of the umpire getting out of their chair to come and scrutinise marks in the dirt.

Fizzywinegum · 09/04/2025 14:37

I bet the umpires are relieved - must have been a right faff all that getting up and down! Grin

Wow that’s a bit of a difference in the second set - has Carlos woken up?

Looks as if Berretini and Musetti play each other tomorrow - should be a nice watch Grin

A very nice watch indeed, that one Fizzy Grin

I used to think the umpires might have liked the exercise, getting up and down the steps.

Fizzywinegum · 09/04/2025 14:46

Maybe in the longer matches Raahh

I always used to wonder how they knew which ball had made a mark in the clay

IceandIndigo · 09/04/2025 14:51

Well done Carlos. Vamos!

Hard luck Fran, hoping for a kinder draw for him next time.

JaneJeffer · 09/04/2025 14:51

Well done Carlos

Fizzywinegum · 09/04/2025 14:52

Bit of a turnaround in that match - well done Carlos!

I’m quite happy not to be able to watch the Djok match - come on Tabilo!

JaneJeffer · 09/04/2025 14:59

Well done Andrey. Nice to see him looking happier

IceandIndigo · 09/04/2025 15:03

Casper’s shorts are also a weird colour.

Raahh · 09/04/2025 15:10

I don't actually mind his shorts this time around Ice.

I don't kmow if they are a different colour to the ones he was wearing the other week, or the fact he's wearing a white top, but they look better.

He's doing well against RBA- who did have a tough match yesterday.

Ooh come on Alejandro!

Raahh · 09/04/2025 15:52

I was on the phone, and I'm still watching Casper- but go Alejandro! he beat him in Rome, which is probably Djok's prefered clay surface of the clay masters.
