TENNIS thread - It's still Clay-time, and we're off on a European tour- next stop Barcelona, Madrid and Rome.- before landing in Paris.

[Raahh]

amongst other places it would have taken too long to put in the title.

Very pleased for Holger!

I recorded the ceremony (dinner was ready, the natives were restless) and am re-watching the musical bit. Blimey. It's hilarious. - I had forgotten that they like a musical act at Barelona . It's all a bit Eurovsion. Took me ages to figure the first bit (pound shop Adam Lambert) was singing 'you've got a friend in me'.

It was like a disco on a cruise ship.

Bit of a contrast to Monte Carlo.

I bet Holger was pissing himself.

Oh, David is stepping down

If they were on ITV every Saturday we would be watching it Raahh

At least I finally got to see Goody.

Oh, you bet we would, Jane.

So long as they promised wigs and costume changes.

And Joel Dommett.

I noticed they didn’t show Holger and Carlos while it was going on!!

That is a whopper of a trophy.

They would have been sniggering, surely?? No self respecting 21 year could keep a straight face through that.

Though Holger's mum probably does a bit of 'I will survive' after a couple of drinks.

There should be a 'tennis mums on tour' behind the scenes Netflix show.

Likes a real housewives type thing.

I'm glad that Carlos seemed very cheery , considering the outcome You would have thought he was the winner, tuning into this speech.

Lovely speeches.

Come on Jelena 💪

I nearly forgot this was on- it's been a but confusing ,the Stuttgart schedule.

Has potential to be a very noisy match

Yep Banshees have nothing on these two. I think Jelena is putting it on especially for this match

Yes, I think it's case of 'anything you can do'

Neither of them have a good poker face

No, Aryna is looking paticularly sullen today. It's like she has somewhere she would rather be.

Yay! Jelena

Aryna’s getting rattled.

Just noticed the weird player chair setup - looks like they’re about to play Mastermind.

The chairs are very odd.

Lots of muttering coming from Aryna.

Aryna about to start singing if I just lay here

Yay!!
