TENNIS thread- Roland Garros continues... Allez!

[Raahh]

Caught me by surprise the end of the thread!

Conchita is looking worried.

TBF everyone looks a bit sweaty - I think the roof might make it quite humid?

Eek this is tense - I’m glad that the crowd are back - it was looking very sparse at first

Come on Mirra!

Mirra just making bad errors on crucial points. I’m sure the crowd is getting to her, it’s such a tough atmosphere.

Just seen Mirra lost the first set - that’s a surprise. The crowd is obviously helping Lois along.

Oh dear.
I think things are starting to get to Mirra- and she began the set so well.

It’s all going wrong for Mirra

She's really up against it now, Mirra. The crowd is getting to her, and she's allowing herself to get emotional. Understandably.

Yes it’s all going wrong really.

Oh dear - the crowd are brutal - feel a bit sorry for Mirra

It is so much easier to be Lois in this situation- nothing was really expected of her- plus she has all the support. .She can afford to take risks.

I do- if she was playing anyone else, she would be a crowd favourite, ordinarily.

Well done Lois

Get your earplugs ready Coco

Mirra gracious in defeat - love her cute tennis earrings

Well done Lois. The crowd helped her, but she did well to hold her nerve.

Wow! Well done Boisson - feel sorry for Mirra - that was a lot for her to deal with

Wonder if Harriett was watching

Lois looks a bit stunned by her achievement

I missed the end- but well done to Lois.
I feel for Mirra- but her time will definitely come.

Very different semi finals - the Iga/Aryna would make a better final.

I have to go out- I would like this to be a close match- but Jannik needs to win really, he will have the best chance of beatingn Djok (if Sascha doesn't manage it tonight).

Just seen the score - well done Lois.

Sounds like Mirra let the crowd get to her - she doesn’t really have the experience yet of the crowd being against her.

Bublik doing what Mac said he should. He must be psychic

To be fair to Coco, she’s the number 2 seed, although Lois is clearly a surprise.

This is looking like an uphill battle for Sasha. As expected, really.

Jannik’s kit is… not great. He obviously decided to leave the rugby jerseys for Carlos and Jack, but he has come out looking like a cartoon character.

Oh no Jannik is sticking with the Luigi look - I’ve just switched back on and it looks as if he’s raced through the first set
