TENNIS thread- Roland Garros continues... Allez!

[Raahh]

Caught me by surprise the end of the thread!

Was it Dzumhur who did the luge slide inder the net at Queen's once?

For Jim, that's kind of funny.

Yes I think it was!

Carlos has had a bit of a haircut - good job his hair grows so quickly

It’s a shame that Holger and Lorenzo will be playing each other - should be a good match though

According to Nick and Jim, Carlos got his haircut afterhis last match- and everyoneis talking about it.

FFS, he's hardly Samson.

Apparently he flew his barber in - life in the fast lane

I remember it really well- he justslid under the net!

Hefty treatment

And how do we get the red button to work on a laptop genius? Not that I even have a laptop!

Well done Elina

Wow

Fils has withdrawn

Oh hope he didn’t make his injury worse by playing on yesterday.

“my job to help the viewers understand” gee thanks what would we have done without you

Well done Carlos. Damir will need a lie in tomorrow

I am not surprised about Arthur- but I do always feel sorry for the players they beat in the previous round in this scenario. Bit like Rafa at Wimbledon 2022- it was a fantastic effort- and Fritz said all the right things at the time, but can't help but think there's a bit of him still wondering 'what if'.
(It happened often enough to Rafa over his career though).

But I hope Fils is ok, he did not look great at all by the end of his match.

Mirra has started well. I like her kit.

Makes me laugh when people run away because of the rain. Try going to a Gaelic match in Ireland softies!

Well done Mirra. Very confident win.

She's very sweet. I like that Mirra still acts very much like a kid- which is nice. The younger players seem to be pushed to grow up really fast.

Conchita looks very happy.

Paula is doing better. Kasatkina is tricky player though.

Stef appears to be in disguise.

Paula got lucky with that point.

Well done Daria but I would have liked Paula to win!

Well done Daria. Not surePaula is 100% still- but she put up a fight in the second set.

Oh dear looks as if Paula’s back is giving her problems again - Stef is doing a good job of hiding in his hoody!

I really want to watch the Fonseca/Draper match (unless it’s a damp squib like their last meeting) but I have another social obligation that I really can’t get out of this time - boo!
