TENNIS thread- Roland Garros continues... Allez!

[Raahh]

Caught me by surprise the end of the thread!

Forecast is for sun all day & top temperatures of 24C.

From your French corespondent!!

Don't think I'll have much time to watch today as lots on.

Bonjour!

That's good to know - although all the singles matches are on Chatrier, so really there wouldn't have been any delays.

I'm trying to find my wellies...

hello magi thank you for the weather update

Happy birthday Rafa - no RG cake this year

Haven’t been able to watch any tennis yesterday or today - we’re away in N Yorks - I’m hoping to be channeling Lady Marchmain later when we visit Castle Howard (in the rain!)

The women’s matches look interesting today, although Lorenzo against Frances might be fun - hope that Alcaraz has full concentration against TP tonight (25% interest rating from me)

Happy Birthday Rafa
it's a shame he won't get cake at RG- but he got a lovely plaque.

And hopefully Rafa jnr will get him a cake.

The Excite-ometer- has Alcaraz/TP at 100% . Not for me, thanks. Unless Carlos wins.

Much more interested in Lorenzo and Big Foe- I hope Lore can win that one.

Happy Birthday to Rafa! My excitement-ometer isn’t the same without you

That sounds like my kind of day out Fizzy

Hmmm. We just got back from holiday and the weather is absolutely dismal. I’ve been looking forward to catching up with the tennis, it’s a pretty surprising QF line up on the men’s side. I wish I’d been able to watch the Jack-Sasha match yesterday. Will be rooting for Lore and Carlos today, sorry Americans.

Well done Jasmine and Sara!

Looks close in Aryna’s match.

Very pleased for Sara and Jasmine.

This is a close match- I thought Zheng might take the set, but Aryna came back fighting.

Well done Aryna

Well done Aryna! Missed the end as I’ve had to go out to the dentist. Mirra and Diana seem to have started well in their match.

I’ve just realised Neal is playing now in the men’s doubles and then he’s due to play at 2.30ish in the mixed doubles. Hope his first match is quick!

It’s weird that there are so many empty seats. Quite different to Wimbledon.

Well done Iga. Looks like the Windy was a bit of an issue.

Well done Iga

And Joe and Neal are through as well, which is good.

Nice of Fabrice to invite her to say something in Polish

Mirra and Diana are through in their doubles match and play Sara and Jasmine next. Since Mirra is still in the singles, I think i'd like S and J to win that.

Craig Doyle totally confused me when he started to speak and I changed the channel only to realise yes he is actually doing the tennis

I know- I wondered earlier why he was there. I prefer him to Rachel, though. She has got on my nerves all week.

Forza Lore!

Dh has just asked ehy BIg Foe is wearing a Man city kit.

it is very City blue.

Mac on commentary!

It’s a lovely shade and he’s gone all out with it

I guess John is late for work

I love the matching shoes.
