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, I feel left out (and I annoyed that I used to be able to get it - for a reasonable price!).

I think he looks more stylish at RG

It’s not available here at all even for rich people and last year it came with Eurosport for no extra cost grr.

oh, I do prefer the RG top, (although really he looks good in anything)- the blue version of the dentist kit wasn't too bad.

It's just not fair, is it?

Bit topsy turvy for ADF and Lehecka.

Earlier when they showded the ADM match ,the commentators were convinced Alex wa 'firmly in control'

Sasha had other ideas it seems.

Doesn't look like it will be ADF's day- but Lehecka was always going to be a very difficult opponent this early on.

Not looking good for Jaume now either

But he’s just hit a belting shot

I've just noticed that the RG website has Arthur listed as A Son. It
's probably because it is set to automatically translate from French, but it did makeme smile.

And well done to Sasha!

(and it said A Fils earlier, so it must be having a moment. )

A Son 😂

well done Bublik!

Arthur seems to be injured

Arthur doesn’t look great and Jaume has the third set

I don’t know what happened to Sascha in the first set but he’s making a recovery

I hope Arthur is ok. Would be a shame if this went the same way as the Ruud match (although Jaume has obviously been playing pretty well ).

The way she keeps trying to say Arthur in a French accent. Give up girl.

I know. Bet she's team 'Alcarath'

Oh yes she was Alcarathing as well

Arthur managing to hang on - but it's not looking good for him.

I'm not sure what was the deal with Sascha either. They have played before, but only once last year. Maybe Sascha was just a bit slow warming up. He racecd through the second set.

I would hate for Arthur to have to retire, but if it's bad, he won't want to risk further injury.

I wonder what Arthur’s coach is telling him. He looks in agony
