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.

Imagine meeting Matteo, Lore and Flávio walking around the streets 🪭

I leave this thread for 5 minutes and look what happens

I’m still not sure what I think about Lore’s sexy dentist vibes - I think it’s a no from me!

We are having feta with our tea but looks as if the gelato won out - bad luck Stef - mmm could just eat some gelato

I think I would faint - maybe the hot weather is getting to us

It is getting a bit warm.

3 hours?? How far away is the hotel they are staying at?

Grigor is in great form

Good strategy fainting, I’m sure one of them would catch you!

It took the Italians two hours to walk back

Apparently it was an abdominal injury that Matteo had. Hopefully not too bad, and just a precaution to retire and rest up before Rome.

I could imagine some of them not having a clue where they were staying because they get chauffeured everywhere

Jane that is true. It reminds me of years ago when I visited a friend in London - she was so used to getting on and off the Tube, that she didn't realise that some of the stops she was making were metres apart, and it would be quicker to walk .

Sascha is really not happy with the line calls this week, is he?

(Although, he's losing, so maybe this is a ploy to get himself pumped up. Worked against ADF).

Doesn't seem to be working today- Fran isn't as easily rattled.

Vamos Fran!

Fran weirdly seems to get more negative in his body language the further ahead he is on the scoreboard.

Odd, isn't it? And the odds are in his favour - he is ahead on the board, and has a winning hth.

But maybe he just won't believe it, til it's over.

I hate those freaky Lynx ads

Jane- I know, very creepy.

Well done Francisco. I wasn’t really paying attention!

Sascha is in strange humour this week.

Well done Fran.

Not a good start for Daniil.

Better second set for Daniil.
