TENNIS thread- Rome is coming to an end and it's nearly time to pack for Paris!

[Raahh]

Meanwhile , it's not looking good for Casper, but Jannik is looking very solid

( most annoying is the fact Tommy Paul is through to the semi final already. )

Forza!

I really hoped Casper could at least avoid the bagel here.

I mean, he really isn't as bad as this scoreline suggests.

Damn.

Thanks Raahh

feel for Casper

Jonathan is absolutely getting on my wick

It's really sad, Jane it makes him look like he's doing so badly- but it's more that Jannik is just playing so well.

It's telling that the crowd aren't exactly at football- chanting levels either- probably because Casper is pretty popular.

Just when we got rid of Petch 😭

Yup. We get it, he thinks Jannik is great.

Would he be quite so effusive if he was beating Draper in this fashion? I think not.

There’s Andy’s pals

Come on Casper- get a game on the board.

Bloody hell, Jannik. Let him win one.

Just got home and seen the score - ouch. Come on Casper! I don’t actually mind who wins but would like it to be a bit closer.

I think the spectators want Jannik to won, but were hoping for something of a 'popcorn' match.

Oh blimey.

If this is a double bagel it will be awful.

Casper needs to retire. Fake an injury or something. Trip over his laces.

Put a bit of clostebol on his hand before he meets Jannik at the net

And because Casper is so polite he probably won’t start a row about something as a distraction

No, there will no arguments about how it's all the fault of the furry balls.

naughty.

Casper must just want the court to swallow him up.

It was nice when different people were winning things (sorry Jannik)

Yay

What a relief, he got a game!

At least he’s laughing about it.

Phew! Well, at least it's not a total whitewash.

Casper now knows what most of Iga's opponents usually feel like 9he sent her a very nice message when she lost the other day).

Did Tim call him Casper Mood?

This is how I feel too. I like Jannik but it’s boring to have one player dominating.

Although if Rafa had won everything I would have been fine about it 🤔
