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.

Lovely family

He speaks very slowly compared to Rafa 😀

And not as much random Spanglish

Well that was very nice.

Goody could have turned up though.

or maybe not

To terrify the children 😆

David Ferrer is going to be the Todd Woodbridge of Spanish tennis isn't he? He won't age- and will turn up at tournaments in 20/30 years still looking just the same.

Yes, he would definitely do that.

I feel like he could still beat a lot of people if he was playing

I agree Jane - He was unlucky to be around when Rafa was, he would have won a lot more had he not been!

That is possibly true of a lot of players

In Conor Niland’s book he was shocked to see David having a smoke after breakfast!

David!

Maybe that’s the secret to his youthful looks

Could be Fizzy

Stefis looking very neon yellow.

Opelka is wearing his pink hat again- and matching shoes.

I might get to watch Casper's match before I go out this afternoon, but it's on after this one, so I suppose it depends how quickly Stef can finish this match,

I'm sure yesterday, the towels were in boxes. Today, the ball kids are bringing the towels.
maybe it depends on the court.

Or pehaps (since they switched so often) I be confused with Munich.

Is the line calling system broken?

Have they got line judges they can bring on as a back up?

Casper had chances to go ahead in this set, but now it's back on serve.

So I don't think this will be over before I leave.

Er what?? No, I don't want to watch Harriet Dart, thanks. Go back to the Casper match, ffs!

Looking at the stands, no-one else wants to watch this either.

Bloody Sky. I wish they would announce when they just randomly switch

Sky is so annoying!

why on earth have they just switched from Casper to Harriet Dart warming up against someone I’ve never heard of with zero crowd! Grr!

No idea- but it's a good thing I have the red button working today, or I would be seething.

First set Casper, finally. Was looking a bit shaky for a bit.

Do something for a few minutes come back to a completely different match 🙄

Now they’re chopping and changing every second 😡

Thought Casper was drinking a can of lager for a second then.

What is his nose ring supposed to do? It doesn’t look like it would change your breathing much maybe make it worse 😬
