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!

Humbert is on his way to a win - the crowd are getting rowdy.

The sound doesn't seem to be synced with the pictures

Arthur is showboating

The commentator said he’s acting as though he won the tournament

I know - can't they go back to just having an Inverdale style tv anchor , with a bit of analysis if it rains /nothing else is happening.

I can't be doing with the constant studio bits every time a Brit sneezes .

Well, Ugo is getting a heros welcome for winning his match.

There is a HUGE cardboard head in the crowd.

I like Ugo. I often forget about him- and he's had a rough year. But when he's playing well, he's fun to watch.

He plays Jacob Fearnley next.

I wonder if Sam Smith is around? Haven’t seen her for ages.

There’s a cardboard Fils head as well!

Maybe the RG shop sells Big cardboard heads.

Or amazon.

Well done Jelena

Not looking good for Nicolas and the crowd are getting ready to celebrate

Yes, even if Mats had forgotten all about her in Rachel's 'how many slam champions are in action today' quiz.

I think he will be even worse tomorrow- I definitely bet he's forgotten about Kenin, and probably doesn't even know Azarenka and Cilic are in the draw

I spotted a head!

I suppose cardboard heads are more fun than homemade little cardboard signs , with a stuck on picture from 5 years ago , on them.

Aww I love the crappy homemade signs in this digital age

Is it me, or do the line judges look like they are dressed to go to Hogwarts?

Well done Arthur, just in time for Emmerdale

Actually so do I, really.

So this is what has happened to Pouille.

Can't see Andy doing this at Wimbledon, somehow.

The football is getting a lot of mentions.

Listening to them discussing Rafa's footprint forever being part of the court is making me sniffle.

Lap of honour mid natch by Rinderknech on breaking Sinner's serve. This tournament has been great so far.

I think they look smart.

Mac!
