TENNIS thread- Roland Garros continues... Allez!

[Raahh]

Caught me by surprise the end of the thread!

The excitement level thing on the RG site makes me laugh. I felt sorry for Tiafoe /Altmaeir earlier- their excitement level started at 66%
(It does go up and down though ).

Crikey that was a loud call!

I must say, it has been so nice to hear proper human screams - instead of automatic line calling. I do wish the tournaments that have alc would at least do something to to vary that, and stop it sounding so sterile.

I agree. They are so monotonous. Surely they could mix it up a bit.

Jo Durie definitely thought the world was ending.

She has PTSD about fireworks now.

The end of the world - Paris must have been mental last night

Aah Holger what are you doing?

Holger's a bit mardy isn't he? Come on Lorenzo!

And that’s why I love him @tripleginandtonic

All level again

Why don’t they switch off those fecking lights?

Lucky there Holger

I really like both of these two. Considering players like Kyrgios exist, I find it really annoying that the commentators still act as though Holger has been one of the most temperamental players of recent times. he may have said a couple of very innocuous things as an 18 year old. He wasn't throwing chairs, abusing umpires (or his girlfriend).

And Musetti is just lovely.

I thought if you returned you couldn’t then query the call?

I wouldn’t describe Lore as wily!

Aren't Foxes meant to be wily.

Jannik wants to be a fox.

Maybe they are thinking of the wrong Italian?

I’m thinking coyote

Watch out for ACME tennis balls Holger

Beep beep

I wish this had been the earlier match, I will probably fall asleep before the end.

I will definitely not be watching the end! I don’t actually mind who wins anyway. Hope they both continue to play well!

Well done Lore

i hate seeing those Djokovic people in his box

I didn't manage to stay awake, as expected - but well done to Lore.
I feel like 2 of the better players on clay , played each other too early. But that's the luck of the draw, unfortunately.

The Infosys Excitement rating has given the Djok /Norris match an 100% rating. Which made me laugh. I'm not sure it's that thrilling a match up. it only gave Sinner/Rublev 99%- and that will definitely be more interesting to watch. Best case scenario is Andrey if leaves the court not bleeding and all racquets intact.

Bublik/Draper should be fun- that really depends on which Sasha turns up .

'Djokovic people'
That made me think of an Alan Partridge clip, and now that's all I will think when I see them.

Lynn, these are SEX people'
