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

Well done Coco!

Dad being such a dad

Is she just hugging random people at this point

Her mom is one of those mumsnetters who gets asked for ID in their 50’s

Poor Aryna

This is a bit much for them to have to sit through- especially the loser. (And Aryna is really not the best loser).

You could have had it allllllll!

At least we haven't been sent back to Rachel and Tim in the studio to waffle over this.

Though there is still time.

maybe Rolex has paid to spare us from that too.

I know- twist the knife

Justine doesn't age much either.

Good umpiring today

I always feel runner up speeches are a bit cruel and unnecessary.

🥹 she made a nice speech

I agree- and it forces them to say things that could be taken the wrong way.

It wasn't a terrible final- by making out it was all down to her 'terrible' play, it sounds like Coco didn't play well. And I know she's just emotional, but that's how it comes across.

I do think if they are going to have to make speeches, it should be straight away, and not after siting there getting more and more upset. It's not very fair.

I think she feels she let her team down but Anton is still smiling at least

Would they have played the national anthem of Belarus??

I don't think she let anyone down - the first set was epic. The both played a great match, it was a very worthy final.

I was wondering that Jane. I don’t think so.

What’s up with the mic?

Don’t know, can’t hear anything she’s saying. Some sort of feedback echo?

I don't know. Good question.

They haven't always played anthems, have they?

I'm not a fan.

She sounds like she is under water, I can't make out anything she is saying.

Oh, now it's working.

Oh they fixed it

no I don’t remember them playing anthems before
