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!

Well, this is not quite how I thought the rest of the match would go.

But if Casper is watching ,I hope he feels a bit better!

This is an astonishing level from Carlos.

I was just thinking about Casper

I definitely didn’t expect this from the second set. The crowd won’t be happy with Carlos spoiling the Italian party.

Well done Pannik- you've won a game.

It's quite ironic that it was all about Jannik and yet it's Jasmine who is a double champion!

Typical!

Yes, it's very typical that it's Jasmine (and Sara) who have produced the goods and the whole week has been about Jannik.

Well done Carlos!

Well done Carlos. Vamos!

Really not how I thought it was going, but very well done.

Well done Carlos. Hard luck Pannik.

Well done Carlos!

Well done Carlos, if slightly unexpected in the 2nd set.

That really was a match of two halves.

But Jannik came back- and it was always going to be huge, coming back after his time off to the pressure of playing at home. So he did really well to get to the final.

He needs to have words with Pannik, though.

Carlos is so happy

Aw Carlos’ mum and dad are so cute.

Well done Carlos! Bit of a surprise in the second set

The commentators are seriously fickle. A few days ago, no-one was going to beat Jannik.

Now, Carlos is the firm favourite for RG.
How soon they forget

Wonder if we’ll get any pre-presentation ‘entertainment’?

Maneskin could come down and shock everyone

I really don't know why Greg Allensworth gets a trophy!

Good old Greg - he reminds me of a garden gnome with his chubby, rosy cheeks

No musical entertainment (thank goodness)

Aw that’s nice from the crowd for Jannik (he needs to lock Pannik in the changing room!)

He’s had a lot to deal with

It’s times like this I wish I could speak other languages!
