TENNIS thread - It's Roland Garros - Finals weekend. Then onwards to the green stuff- and we don't mean a burnt cactus!

[Raahh]

Rachel has clearly never watched a slam in her life, if she didn't know about all gthe kerfuffle before (some) finals.

I hate TNT

He does have great hair.

I was looking up their heights because they aren’t 6’ 6” or 5’ 4” and therefore nobody will mention it. I thought Zizou was very tall but he’s only 6 foot ish and Mark is a few inches taller

Plus a couple more for hair height

Zizou giving out to the umpire very politely

It's true that they don't bother with what they consider to be 'ordinary' heights

he was polite- and I did see his point, to be honest. That's how Rafa ended up with his shorts on back to front in Rio (?) that time. Took him a while toforgive Daddy Carlos.

Toddler Rafa

Well done Zizou- good fight from Pineapple head.

I'm sorry but I haven't RTFT
Can I ask why this is in Telly Addicts rather than Sport?

It has been for at least the last 15/16 years that I have been involved. I think its because it began as a Wimbledon thread but not sure.

And sport doesn't tend to get much traffic.

We are an all round thread. Tennis not just Wimbledon

*is

And not just tennis

That is also very true

We are experts at de-railing our own thread.

It often does derail into TV related chat (Doctors mainly!)

I miss Doctors .
At least I can't mix up the threads anymore.

I can hear Sweet Caroline being played in Stuttgart.

Stop it.

Oof- it's follwed me over to Libema open now.

Stop it. Stop it now!

Ben is very fidgety today

Isa is on the Queens coverage so it’s likely that they’ll still be using her for Wimbledon

Ok let’s talk about players who are no longer in the tournament instead of focussing on the players playing today - 37 year old mother of two has already been mentioned tough

Oh no I can’t stand her umming and lack of knowledge of what has happened in tennis since she was on last year

Clare was doing the trooping of the colours and I remembered that she would be doing Wimbledon too. Ugh.

Yes Isa still doesn’t seem to know what she’s talking about Jane - she should stick to the cricket!

I don't mind Claire as much as most, but Isa really gets on my nerves. I think Laura Robson should be promoted to the main programme- she's becoming really good at 'anchoring' the team- and she knows her stuff, is very at ease talking to other players. or get Gigi Salmon in - she did mostly radio stuff, last year I think.

I wonder if Ash Barty will be back?

At least Clare’s outfits are entertaining
