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.

Lore has done so well coming back from behind in his last couple of matches, perhaps winning the first set wasn’t the right tactic?

I know! He's done it the wrong way around!

I lost count- was that deuce 5?

Oof.

1 set all. Carlos definitely woke up.

Lorenzo seemed to be trying to get to grips with Carlos by the end of the set.

Both smiling, that's nice.

Crowds are happy.

It’s going to get loud!

This match hasn’t been as good as I’d hoped, so far we haven’t really had both players playing well at the same time. Lore looks like he might be starting to struggle physically.

All going pear shaped for Lore since the first set.

Oh dear

Come on Lore! He really needs to hold here.

I had high hope at the start.

Bit it's all one way traffic now. I think all the 3-setters might be catching up with Lore.

he looks very deflated now

What a shame.

Oh dear Lore is struggling

Oh dear.

I wonder if he will have anything left to play in Barcelona? He is scheduled there next week.

Interesting camera angle.

Ooh er missus! Maybe should have gone off court for this?

Such a shame for Lore - yes he won’t want to jeopardise the rest of his season

The camera angle was a bit intrusive.

It really was!

Not sure he’s going to be able to continue, I’m gutted for him

This is a reall shame- he played very well in the first set, and kept Carlos at bay.

All that will be remembered though is the rest of the scoreline

I guess that’s it then

This is hard to watch.

Well done Carlos, but that was not really the final I wanted to see. Poor Lore.

Well done Carlos. Poor Lorenzo

His brother looks a bit like Roger 🤨
