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!

Yes, the first set was close, then it all unravelled quite quickly, which was a shame.

Jasmine's mascot was nearly as tall as her, they should have swapped.

They always look so overwhelmed by everything- not surprisingly.

I love how Sara Errani is always there to support Jasmine. I am supporting her this afternoon -Coco has probably got more years in her to win stuff (not that Jasmine is old- just tennis old!).

Coco wins the kit award for me, this week. Her kits are are always really well designed.

It's been good so far, trading of breaks early on.

I thought it was starting at 17:05 and now I realise I was looking at the date not the time

That is such a 'me' thing to do,

i still haven't changed the time on the clock in my car. My car is a 16 year old Toyota,that does most things itself really easily . But changing the time requires a Phd in quantum mechanics- and a really good memory in how I changed it- 6 months ago. So this time around, when it got to March, I just didn't bother.

Except now it's nearly the end of May, and everytime I get in it, I confuse myself.

Ooh shit

She’s ok phew

oof - hope she's ok.

And Coco ended it with a smile, a loss like this would have destroyed her a couple of years ago- but she still looks happy.

Brilliant performance from Jasmine, totally dominated fron the off!

And she is dancing

The crowd is very muted. Are they practicing for Eurovision?
