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.

First set Eala.

Iga has taken the second set, but it's not been a comfortable match for her.

She seems to be getting happier in the 3rd set. Too many errors and double faults from Eala now.

Ooh, Fonseca is there, maybe it’s his turn to beat the old man?

That would be great

They are in the same section of the draw. Djok is going to love the Brazilian fans

Well done Joao. Elmer Møller seems like quite a promising young player too.

Oh yes, if he thought the Holger fans were annoying atWimbledon, they will have nothing on the Fonseca ones .

Bring it on .

Jacob is going well, although he seems to be playing in some weird gymnasium.

Well done Jacob.

Well done Jacob, thank goodness it didn't go to a 3rd set! It was a weird stadium ice but I think the roof was on, so it sounded echoey. The Mo Show was in full force especially with the technical issues between sets

Daniil has got a walkover in his first match, and Casper has just started his. Broken in his second service game already. Come on Casper!

Altitude- BINGO!

Settled into this now, Casper.

Jasmine off to a flying start in her match.

Is Katie going to make another comeback?

it would need to be a pretty dramatic one, Jane.

The shadow/sun corner on the court in the Ruud match is really annoying,(and I'mnotplaying in it ). Such a badly designed court-they must have realised the way the the light would hit the roof/seating areas. It gets worse as the day goes on.

Well done Jasmine (nearly posted on the wrong thread)

That's a 'me' trick.

She seemed very focused.

I like Jasmine, she makes me smile.

I did see that Jelena lost yesterday- probably the efforts of last week took a lot ut of her. Or maybe she wants to get back to playing with her car.

Iga might be relieved.

I’m kind of expecting Holger to go the same way tonight!

What is Robbie waffling on about 'That's a Linda Ronstadt?
a Blue Bayou? (I get that that was one of her songs but wtf??)

Awe, RBA's little Roberto is growing up fast.

Now Andrey has a walkover against Monfils.

Ben in a spot of bother against Navone.

Can we go back to the Shelton match now please. This is on both channels.

Cute dog though.

Lovely doggy
