TENNIS thread- Roland Garros continues... Allez!

[Raahh]

Caught me by surprise the end of the thread!

What’s going on??

I had to let the dog out so I missed whatever happened

Sascha’s entering the last chance saloon

I don’t really know what happened but I think a man was removed by security - there was some shouting but don’t know what it was about

Aggressive racquet waving there from Djok

Come on Djok - I need to go to bed!

Oh well

Phew - finally

Haha, my sentiments exactly.

Chesh-Shyer cat is my favourite pronunciation of the match

Why did he sit down?

I gave up and fell asleep when it became fairly clear Sascha was not going to win.

If Jannik plays the way he has been though- he ought to win the semi final.

Unless Pannik makes an appearance.

Yes we don’t want Pannik to make an appearance!

It was difficult to tell what Djok’s level was as Sascha did seem to give up a bit when he lost the second set -I think that Djok seemed slower than he usually does at getting to balls - or maybe that’s just part of his plan - who knows!

I like that Sara and Vava-voom have matching kits.

some -interesting shots at the end of that game

I always find it odd that the Mixed doubles final is played so early - as if they just want it out of the way before the 'main' events.

They are embodying the Italian elegance Lore spoke about

very windy there

They are Jane

Yes, the Windy is rough- and it was a bit Rainy too.

Well done Sara and Andrea.

Sara is doing so well this year. Jasmine looks so happy for her.
They've still got the women's doubles to come.

Well done to the Italians

Very nicely balanced picture!

Gosh, what a start for Aryna.

Oh it’s the umpire with the lovely voice.

I’m listening on Radio 5 - they are having a big debate about burnt cactus/cacti - apparently that’s the colour of Aryna’s outfit

Iga had a slow start against Rybakina- and fought back- I would be surprised if she did do the same today.

Or it might just be the day Aryna trounces Iga.

Is it?

Burnt cactus I mean! Looks like turquoise to me !
