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!

Well done Navone. Back to doubles for Opelka.

Shame about Casper.

Jasmine’s already back on court in the doubles! She’ll be knackered later.

Surely they could have scheduled it so she had a bigger rest between matches.

I've given up trying to second guess the schedulers though.

Great shot Carlos

Vamos Carlos! Fabian got one set at least

Ah Carlos is so cute

Oh no they found Petch

Finally home, and looking around the scores, doesn't seem to have done Jasmine too much harm, playing earlier.

and Robbie is commentating on the Stef match

Robbie!

Gigante is actually not very tall (although his shirt is a bit big!)

No, he isn't , is he ?.

I mean, it's a name to literally live up to, and I would avoid marrying into the Gigante family, personally.

that would be hilarious though

Not going great for Emma

Come on Gigante! The crowd are very rowdy - that chant is quite annoying - not sure that the alcohol ban is working

No, I think they are all having a drink or several over lunch.

I love seeing young kids watching tennis (although they might be contributing to the general rowdiness) - you don’t get so many kids at Wimbledon - just posh people (and me )

As if you’re not posh Your Ladyship

Why have they put Holger’s match on the RB choice when it’s not even on and just takes you back to the main channel match?

Well nobody told me Wispa is with Robbie

Wispa made the mistake of asking Robbie a question - maybe she just wanted to rest her voice for half an hour

I’ve had to turn the volume up high so that I can hear her but then the crowd is too loud

Wispa is being very descriptive about the windy blowing in the trees

Iga too good for Emma

Gigante 2 sets to 1 up against Stef now - he’s playing well but Stef just not the player he was which is a shame really

Robbie and Wispa discuss whether the Eiffel Tower is a building or not

I hope one of them said it’s an erection (juvenile)

No they didn’t Jane - I think that Wispa was taken aback by Robbie’s quizzing

Wow!
