TENNIS thread- Roland Garros continues... Allez!

[Raahh]

Caught me by surprise the end of the thread!

The crowds are willing Arthur on.

Me too when it said not accepting new posts I thought something had gone wrong but I suppose we had been there since Rome!

Thanks for the new thread BTW

They sure are. Thank you for the new thrread. Get to watch it all for free now!! (RG, that is). The French commentators seem to drivel less than some of the British/American ones!

The meds must have kicked in

Ah bonjour magi

Rome seems ages ago now.

Barbora is 0-5 down in her match (against one of the Kudermetovas).

Come on Barbora!

I am very jealous!

Our coverage is pants/and or expensive.

Bof!

Munar is having none of this comeback

Barbora's back injury has been going on a while, so I don't think she had a lot of expectations coming into this.But she's got a lot to defend with being Wimbledon champion and that will be a blow if she can't play.

Jane no, he's doing well to ignore the crowd. Who must be very loud.

And Richard is not doing too badly in his first set against Jannik (despite Petch writing him off before it even started). He might not win, but he will go down fighting.

Oh dear

He looks done in.

Richard did have 3 chances to get the match back on serve, but couldn't convert them.

really looking bad for Barbora now.

This could be one of those matches where Fils might scrape through, but not be able to play the next.

Barbora has won a game- hurrah!

Damn we had another little power cut just as he said “electrically charged”!

it's a jinx!

Have they swapped matches? What is going on?

Crowd are happy.

Not sure why they are allowed to delay things so they can sing the national anthem, but hey ho .

A player would get a time penalty.

Poor Jaume

Ah come on now

Do your job umpire

Well done Arthur. Stubborn as a mule!
