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’ve just seen Coco forgot her racquets and had an empty bag. She looked so confused

How did she not notice?

Hugo is managing to keep a sense of humour even though everything is against him

I'm only score watching now, but I feel a bit sorry for him.
He must have thought he had this match sewn up about 2 hours ago!

Gael is playing unbelievably

He always seems to get a second ( and 3rd) wind from somewhere.

Why do those idiots shout when Gael is about to serve

Well done Gael. Hugo seems lovely, he has a lovely smile

Well, I am amazed that Gael won that, since it looked for all the world like he would retire in the first set.

He’s getting a big cheer which is nice

Marion is very glittery tonight

Getting the record for winning the most 5 setters and the crowd spurred him on.

It’s like that thread about people forgetting to take any clothes on holiday - you would have thought that her bag must have felt lighter

Well done Gael! I didn’t watch it but what a comeback - just hope he’ll be ok for his next match

I read an article about Coco forgetting her rackets and she said she had so many drinks in there the bag still felt heavy which is why she didn’t notice!

Now that's funny- I couldn't understand how she wouldn't have known there were no racquets otherwise!

I've had about an hour before I have to go out and been watching Musetti- who started really well, but as the end of the set has come around, the wheels have fallen off a bit, and he's in danger of at the very least it all ending up back on serve.

By the time DD2 gets ready to go out, it wil be raining here and i won't want to move

What was that?!

And it's raining at RG.

Lovely Lorenzo sat next to the ball girl and holding the umbrella over her, classy

Nice to see Ajla but Jasmine beat her easily

Yes, I like Ajla and want to see her doing well again but she was no match for Jasmine.

Fabian and Carlos herding the children

Just managing to check the scores- what is happening to Casper??! Come on Casper!

Knee injury by the looks, but credit to him for carrying on.

Poor Casper, Hopefully not too bad. . It's been a season of 2 halves really. Hopefully he can rest up during the grass season and be fit for the hardcourts.

That’s a shame
