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 think they must have some schools on a day out. Lots of noisy children there. The umpire has to keep shushing them.

Yes, that and the order of play committee
Will you be cheering Dan (and Fran) on later?

Me every year watching RG: not the fecking Olé chant again!

Come on Brummie Borg!

I can't even remember now why he was called that, especially considering neither he nor his style of play are anything like Borg or his game

I think it was litterally just the fact he won a couple of matches on clay

I've just been to a dentist appointment - that is actually booked for tomorrow.

Good thing it's only 5 minutes away, and I've nothing better to be doing , really ! I've got so many appointments and things happening in next week or so I am getting confused by when they are .

Just turned on to yet another showing of the interview with Djok saying why he split with Andy. I am not sure I care.

I hope Dan can get through qualification. He will probably get drawn against Carlos in R1.

Laver Cup is coming back to London in 2026. I’m sure the tickets will be affordable

I am sure I don’t care.

Well done Shevchenko. What a match that was!

Erhard played his heart out.

10 point tiebreak caught me out!

Looks like Dan got bumped to tomorrow because of the rain delay

Muller’s face when they’re watering the court

Danielle has beaten Emma

Cobolli has beaten ADF

Fuck sake I was watching the final set of Zverev/Muller and they just stopped showing it and put the Djokovic interview again. Stupid Sky

Iknow. I REALLY don't care. Why do they think we do? It was always a dumb idea. Whose reputation are they trying to salvage with all these interview clips - because that's what it looks like. 'We know the results were awful, but it's not because I can't play or he's not actually any good at coaching'

And Djok he will probably take to his grave why he split with Boris Becker - who he was with for ages, and actually won stuff. That seems very hush hush . Can't shut up about this though.

This was literally a partnership of a few weeks.

It's like 14 year olds wh make a big deal over a 2 week 'romance' and then pine over it on social media for a weekend ages. .

Dan has lost in the second round of qualifying, unfortunately.

The draw is out for the first round of RG - although a lot of it is still awaiting the winners of the qualifying. Without seeing who has drawn a dangerous 'floater' - ones that jumps out at me- that Holger has got got RBA , and Nishikori (in what might end up being his last RG, who knows) has drawn Alcaraz. Need to really look at it properly.

Jacob v Stan!

Poor Dan must be so disappointed

Well done Liudmila. Don’t know how she’ll fare against Danielle with that sore arm though.

The RG draw looks pretty good for either Holger or Lorenzo - they have to play each other, but whoever wins will face Fritz in the QF (or whoever else comes through his section, but it’s full of Americans who are rubbish on clay). Carlos looks to have an easier draw than Jannik, although he’ll probably meet Casper in the QF.

Iga has Ostapenko in her section again, I bet she said rude words.
