TENNIS THREAD- we're moving on to the Hard Courts and the North American Swing. With a quick clay pit stop to win a cow or two. .

[Raahh]

I think this thread may take longer to fill than the last one.

I hope Rafa is enjoying the ice cream. I don’t think I could ever stick to an athlete’s diet. Or the training regime, travel, or really anything about that life!

He won in 21 & 22

Poor Casper.

Now we have T'other Cerundolo on Bastad.

No it’s not an easy lifestyle. Tomas Machac has an insta post talking about what it’s like. He is also a Lego fan but can only do it at home because it’s difficult to travel with Lego

Casper played in Bastad last uear (just to confuse things) and lost in the first round.

The sound in Bastad is even worse than in Gstaad!

How much lego is he is planning to travelwith ? I mean, the bricks are fairly small. Unless he taking big boxes- like the The Star wars Millenium Falcon, or the Hogwarts train.

I would have thought that Lego was quite a portable hobby! Maybe he is making the giant models

I saw the picture of Rafa in the ice cream parlour - it made me want some yummy ice cream and yes he does look happy

I got confused by the different Cerundolos - maybe that’s why Caspar lost? I still haven’t watched any tennis

Might go and sit in the garden before the forecast biblical rain arrives

I hope that Mumsnet doesn’t set me any tests - I’m not sure that I would pass!

Cerundolo the Younger (JMC) is on he way to winning his match in Gstaad- this is turning into a really good week for him.
Just starting to rain at deuce and 5-3 in the second set.
Buse not giving up yet though.

We had a thunder storm at 5.30 am- and I'm the only one who hear it.
Even the dog didn't wake up.

Still raining on and off now.

Cerundolo the Younger

DH is watching the Lions

Well done JMC.

Ahh, the Windy.

Yes, it was a bit windy yesterday. You still won though.
He has a slight look of Domi Thiem about him. If you squint.

Just waiting for Bublik to get out of bed.

Agassi is doing a bit of coaching with Holger to see how he can help him improve.

So there’s rain in Gstaad. How about putting that on your info Sky instead of commencing shortly?

Looks like Sasha got off to a good start - and Arthur Cazoo has turned up in the second set.
1 set all for Cerundolo the Elder and Darderi.

Sweet Bloody Caroline in the background.

There's no escape.

Sweet Caroline and a man in a cow costume

I missed most of it

X post

The Cow man can stay

He got lost on his way to the darts

Sometimes I look at Sasha's arm and it reminds me of Guy Pearce in Memento, who has to tattoo things on himself because he has amnesia.

Love that film.

Love a bit of Bully.

I had an episode of Cerundolo Confusion earlier

Cool shirt mister
