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.

Given the weather forecast, they might both want to speed things up a bit

This is a good start from Lore- a lot of unforced errors from Carlos in comparison.

Early days though.

The crowd moving about is very annoying - it must be distracting for the players

I’m not sure if this is one of the tournaments where they are just aloud to wander around (another mad tennis decision) -Aurelie was trying to get them to sit down the other day but wasn’t having much luck!

Carlos is so far back, he's nearly out of the court!

Fizzy I was thinking the same about the crowd- and wondering why no-one said anything.

Maybe the MCCC members are allowed to roam free, because it costs an arm and a leg to be there .

Very annoying though.

Come on Lore!

So many errors from Carlos, Lorenzo doesn’t have to do very much.

Probably Raahh - they just carried on regardless

Come on Lore!

Close!

Wow- what a drop shot.

Well done Lore- first set.

Bodacious 😁

Amazing shot by Lorenzo to take the set.

Well, Carlos may have been a bit under par in that set, but no-one say Lorenzo didn't pull out some great shots.

Are they being paid everytime they mention Foggy's MC win in 2019? I swear it has got several shout outs , every single match this week!

They seem to get fixated on saying certain things over and over.

Carlos is a bit more fired up this set.

Carlos seems to have woken up now - the sweat marks on his weird coloured kit are not a good look

No, Fizzy some fabrics/colours do show up the sweat in odd ways.

Looks like Carlos has woken up now.

Oh- a roof on the main court would totally ruin the look of the place- just as (imo) it has at RG. I much preferred the 'open' court.

I get they need a roof due to weather, but it ruins some places.

Yes I also think a roof would ruin the look of the court at MC

Definitely a turnaround.

Maybe Carlos didn't like the early start?

Eek this is not boding well for a quick match

It might be quick, if, Carlos bagels both sets. (but I hope he doesn't!)
