TENNIS thread- Roland Garros continues... Allez!

[Raahh]

Caught me by surprise the end of the thread!

Burnt cactus, really? It looks like an aquamarine blue.

Well, on my tv, I would call it more of greeny- blue/turquoise.

But I'm a terrible judge of colour.

Phew! I'm not alone in the turquoise thing then.

Cactus/Cacti are surely more Jannik kit' green?

If DS1 was here he’d probably say it’s grey! Colour blindness is weird.

I feel like cacti are more of an olive green. But I’ve never tried burning one.

The commentator was told off for calling it turquoise - I need to have a look at the TV - they had quite a long debate about what colour a burnt cactus would be!

See it’s a big talking point!

Don’t try burning a cactus at home kids

Well it is now thanks to you Fizzy

Can I send the bill to Aryna if I accidentally set the curtains on fire? Or Nike?

Fizzy you've started something now.

In our family, I am always on the wrong side of the 'What colour is Barney the Dinosaur' debate. (He looks more pink to me, than purple ).

Wouldn't burnt anything just end up looking kind of black.

Bloody hell. I am being haunted by 'You were always on my mind' now.

Can't they get 'Champs Elysee' back.

Aryna looks stressed

She probably thought she had the first set in the bag, and now she has to fight for it.

Ok- so the Nike website describes the colour as dusty cactus.

But Tennis Point call is turquoise.

The design team at Nike probably use daft paint charts as reference when they name things.

Oops

Now the dress is dirty cactus.

I was thinking that I’d not heard ‘Champs Elysee’ this tournament but then I wondered if it was more of an Olympics thing?

I think it was an Olympics thing- but it's a shame it didn't catch on.

I still think it's a shame this is the semi final- nothing against either Coco or Lois, but I can't help feel like the final will feel one sided against either of these 2.

Yes I liked it! The radio is not very good for knowing what is actually going on in the tennis - just useless information

Sounds as if Iga has pulled the first set back

The sponsors must be relieved to have Casper. I can’t imagine many of the top players happily driving a tiny little Renault.

I used to listen to radio 5 live a lot in the car - and the commentary could be quite good. But there were often random conversations.

Then there was the year they tried to convince Goran to do Strictly
