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 know

No I don’t need to see a close up of his bleeding knee again, it was disturbing enough the first time.

Can't have been good for Andrey to continue playing with clay dust getting into the cut on his knee.

He needs to clear his head too.

Well done Flavio. He seems fairly chilled out.

Flavio was singing along

I'm a bit confused that the Mascot in Hamburg (sponsored by BitPanda) is an otter called Otti.

Is Hamburg famous for otters?

Computer says yes very disturbing that Google thought I was looking for otter hamburgers though

You tell them Fergus

Otter hamburgers?! Noo!

There was a competition to name Otti. That was the best they came up with. Otti the Otter.

Imaginative bunch, aren't they?

Jane it was the way he said 'shout out like that'- as though they could shout out any other way .

Ah they went for the old boaty mcboatface

Well this is the kiss of death for Flavio, if they are now building him up to be the next big thing.

Flavio is playing really well.

They do love getting carried away

I feel for Andrey, but Flavio is playing very well.

Have they changed the trophy? I used to like the yellow squiggly line trophy

Argh! Sweet Caroline.

They seem to have a headless tennis player instead of the squiggle

That's very dull.

Maybe the 3d printer broke.

The Hamburg dj obviously spends the rest of the year doing weddings

First set to Hubi

Yay! Hubi has won the first set at least.

Come on Flavio.

He wouldn't be doing mine <mutter>

(Not that I'm planning on getting married again. I'm still married.
