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 was thinking the other day that I hadn’t seen Ruusuvuori for ages and he’s had to withdraw today!

While I was trying to see why he withdrew I found out this https://www.atptour.com/en/news/emil-ruusuvuori-my-point-2025 I hope he’s better now

Oh, poor Emil. I hope he's ok now.

So many good matches on today- and TNT seem to be showing ...2 at the moment.

That should have said found this but my phone added out when I wasn’t looking! I don’t know why it wants me to sound like one of those AI ads

Well done Jacob. Sad to see Stan go out though.

Oh no poor Emil

Well done Jacob but sad to see Stan the Man go out

I think I need to have a bit of a tennis break now before I get embroiled in another match (TNT depending) - my TV has already tried to turn itself off

This coverage is like what I get during Wimbledon on Premier Sports (which hopefully they will do again this year)

Holger seems to be doing ok- sad that RBA had to meet him this early on, Roberto has been playing a bit better recently, might have got further against someone else.

I’ve been trying to find Katie’s match. The one marked as being her match just shows the TNT screen but I’ve just found Katie’s match under Naomi and Paula’s names. I am glad I’ve got TNT but I do wish they would sort out their coverage!

I have Katie on the main channel I think

2-1 to Holger

Watching Arthur Fils after seeing Jacon go though. That was a really good match, he coped with the partisan crowd really well too

Monnet is very smug looking!

Well done Holger!

I'm glad that Holger won, I don't know if it's the last we will see of RBA though.

Watched back the whole ceremony on YouTube and then watched Rafa's press conference afterwards. Funny anecdote about Andy

Well done Katie

I loved the press conference- he really is funny, and ihe's come a very long way from when he started and barely spoke any English.

Jelena Ostapenko looks like she's involved in an odd match.

I was confused though- because I always forget there are two Kudermetovas (and one is already through).

Well done to Barbora- she will be glad to get a win under her belt.

Jarry sounds like what a muppet would sound like playing tennis

Le pigeon!

Jane

Rachel, Mats and Ann are in the studio.

Still annoying.

I had to get away from the studio after Katie won because the analysis was doing my head in. I bet Katie doesn’t analyse herself that much!
