This is a nice tournament to follow in my Australian time zone because we can catch the first match in our evening.
Dd and I get a bit obsessed with all the beautiful wealthy looking people in the crowd. It's quite a vibe.

My tip- for what it's worth- is a Carlos/Lorenzo final.

Of course I rubbish at these things- and it will now be AdM v ADF Grin

This is the final I am hoping for,
although realistically AdM is the favourite against Lorenzo. I remember Carlos and Lore played a wonderful match, in Indian Wells, I think it was.

Raahh · 12/04/2025 10:53

Ice I wouldn't be too unhappy if ADF made the final (it's not like Carlos hasn't won a lot Grin), but I think a Lore/Carlos final would be great.

AdM is one of those players I feel like I should like, and he seems like a nice bloke- but I'm pretty luke warm towards him really.

So I will stick with my prediction and hope Lore comes through (And note that if ADF wins his match, that's ok- he could do with the boostGrin)

StartUp if I was ever to make it to a tournament abroad, MC has always been my pick. It's a stunning location.

I'm jealous because DD1 is off to Nice in August for a few days with friends-I've always wanted to go to the South of France and never made itGrin(I went ot Normandy with school in the 80s, and it was February. Lovely place, but a bit wet at the timeGrin).

I have missed most of the first set in the Carlos/ADF match. I always forget that 1pm means 12 Grin . Very close so far.

ADF has done well to get back into this set.

IceandIndigo · 12/04/2025 13:04

Carlos was up 5-2 and had three set points!

StartupRepair · 12/04/2025 13:06

ADF is putting some pressure on.

Raahh · 12/04/2025 13:14

IceandIndigo · 12/04/2025 13:04

Carlos was up 5-2 and had three set points!

Wow! he has done well then.

Well Carlos does it eventually. I always laugh when they put up that “time since last set point” stat.

Raahh · 12/04/2025 13:28

IceandIndigo · 12/04/2025 13:17

Well Carlos does it eventually. I always laugh when they put up that “time since last set point” stat.

It always seems slightly passive aggresive Grin. So long as they don't take longer than they are supposed to, why does it matter? (and it was a fairly lengthy first set.)

OP posts:
Raahh · 12/04/2025 13:30

I think ADF is capable of beating most players- but he does have a tendency to lose focus, and drop his level when he's disappointed, especially after working so hard in the first set.

So this match could now go easily Carlos's way now, unless he shakes it off.

OP posts:
IceandIndigo · 12/04/2025 13:30

Haha that was a funny moment.

Raahh · 12/04/2025 13:31

Mistakes are coming thick and fast now.

The Djokovic kids are at the match

Raahh · 12/04/2025 13:53

Jane he's sending his kids out to hex the competition Grin.

(can you imagine just being able to nip down to the Monte Carlos country club on a Saturday afternoon- just because you can Envy)

(Or- Djok was so sure he would make the semi's, that he had booked the seats in advance Grin).

The rich people equivalent of go outside and play when you need a breather is Nanny will take you to the MC semifinal 😄

JaneJeffer · 12/04/2025 14:15

ADF is not giving up

Raahh · 12/04/2025 14:15

Jane exactly Grin.

Good hold, ADF- even if it took a while.

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 12/04/2025 14:18

Have the commentators got a bet on to see how many times they can say Monte Carlo Country Club?

JaneJeffer · 12/04/2025 14:20

Well done Carlos. They’re still friends

IceandIndigo · 12/04/2025 14:21

Well done Carlos. And ADF, a really gutsy performance from him.
