Don't ever do accents JIm. Just. No.

Looks like Fran might come back and win from 2 sets down.

Really good win for Sasha.

Goffin is doing very well against Halys.

Good (unexpected) win for Fearnley overnight but he now plays Zverev. Shame Monfils lost.

Tough match to lose for Gael, he was very close.

Stef made it through in 4 sets- but it could easily have gone to a 5th. Muller had a dip in the 2/3rd sets but came back strongly.

Sad to see t'other Lorenzo, Sonego lost to Tristan Schoolkate- very close match. 10-6 in the final tie break.

I have now seen Carlos's hair, and - well, that was a mistake. Some people can really rock a buzz cut- but I don't think the G.I Joe look suits Carlos at all- good thing hair grows back. . His kit is very nice, though.

Don't know if it's true but I read that Carlos' brother tried to give him a haircut, used the wrong attachment and ballsed it up. If that was the case, I don't know what style they were initially going for

I read that as well kazza - maybe he should stick to flying his barber in (and not let his brother near his hair again!)

I saw that his brother made a mess of his haircut and the only way to deal with it was to shave it all off.

Wonder how much it will grow through the rest of the championship

His hair seems to grow pretty quickly - might be back to normal if he gets to the final!

I read that- and Carlos had such thick hair. I imagine if he started with the wrong setting and realised it looked daft- that shaving it off and starting again probably seemed the only option.

Maybe they were going for a fancy shaved pattern at the back.

Carlos’ hair is the tennis storyline we didn’t know we needed. It’s hilarious how all the other players are being asked about it. Foe was brutal and said it looked horrendous, but Jannik was extremely diplomatic and said Carlos would suit anything. I still don’t understand why he didn’t just go to a professional.

I’m happy Stef won, he’s had a rough year.

Carlos needs to borrow the wig that Casper wore in the ATP videos.

And keep the tag on.

He did actually fly his own barber from Spain to the French Open - maybe he was trying to save a few bob - Tiafoe’s reaction was brutal - it is all quite entertaining

😂

I actually quite like his shaved head!

I did not have sexual relations with that woman vibes

Well done Emma, easy win.

I don’t think that red suits Emma

Jiri turned has turned things around. Bagel in the second set, after losing the first. Tomas Etcheverry seems to have fallen apart since the first set.

I am avoiding anything to do with Djokovic until he is playing someone l really want to watch. .

Ooh, Zachary Svajda has taken the first set against Djok. Come on Zach!

Just seen that Svadja took the first set.

Not getting too excited though

I saw some of Djok’s shenanigans the other night against Tien so I don’t trust him one bit (shocker)

Pleased to see wins for Emma and Jacob.

Oh it’s Jim - RB time

I’m watching Joao vs The Shorts
