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

And again, we don't get to see the on court build up, because insight's from Petch are so much more important.

x -post.

This needs to get sorted.
There can't be only us complaining

I’ve just sent TNT a message about it! Not that they’ll heed me but I wanted to make my feelings known

Good for you- from the crap coverage of Rafa's tribute onwards, it's been rubbish.

Andy would be great Jane. To be honest anyone would be better than this line up.

It starts in 5 minutes, and now Craig takes us on a tour of the grounds - why??

The women's doubles could have started at a reasonable time rather than all this.

Nick Mullins' voice does not match his face

Nick has a great view.

Can we go to the players now?
Rachel's voice is like nails on a blackboard.

And we're off.

Feels like this pre-amble started a fortnight ago.

I wonder if Jannik’s mum is there. I remember in Rome she said she never stays for the whole match and then she did in the Rome final and he lost Which he hardly ever does.

Pharrell has amazing genes

He is a vampire Jane.

Martina looks lovely.

They never seem to recognise Francesca

The Rachel woman is very annoying! I’ve just started watching - think it’s going to be a long match

I listened to the first bit on the radio - there was a very long debate about the colour of Carlos’ shorts - black, washed out black or dark olive were the possibilities - they could actually be burnt cactus (more so than Aryna’s dress anyway )

From this distance they Carlos' shorts look black, or charcoal (so yes, the definition of a burnt cactus).

And he has a break.

It’s sequoia tree green according to Nike

I feel like Nike are just trolling the public at this point.

Oh Mrs Sinner is there. I wonder how long she’ll last.

Yeah, ok then.

Yes I think you’re right Jane

Jannik’s Mum is there

Well we didn’t actually get to see what happened at change of ends because TNT Sports insists on filming every sitdown with ads, even though we’ve paid £££ for it.

Was Andre showing off a tongue piercing?!

I'm hoping Rolex step in and pay for the 'ad-free' treatment soon.

Because - much as I love Casper, I've had more than I can take of the Renault ad.
