TENNIS: all to clay for

[JaneJeffer]

sorry

I’ve just seen the tennis pics from the Met Ball - even Rafa was there

I’m not quite sure what the theme was but I think Rafa got off quite lightly - Djok and Carlos seem to be wearing cape type things (Djok looks very Beelzebub!)

Stef is Demis Roussos/Lord Farquaad from Shrek

Roger is in his boring 007 tux!

Oh no I think it was AI generated - oh dear - never mind - I got quite excited there

AI is bloody annoying.

Dd2 is obsessed by the Met Gala and was looking forward to this year's theme, but decided most of them were boring.
Venus didn't look bad( but went dressed inspired by an art piece...of herself, which I think is cheating).
Naomi looked very Naomi. I think she spends more time on this sort of thing than her tennis, imo.
Serena looked like she was wrapped in tin foil . Bet it cost $$$$ though!

I think the AI outfits were more interesting Raahh

I did wonder what Serena was wearing - sponsored by Bacofoil!

I think Roger was there (or somewhere) wearing a tux but I don’t trust anything that I see now

Oh, some of the AI looks were definitely more 'on theme' as DD2 would have it.

I don't know about Roger, I last remember him being there looking very Bond like a few years back, with Mirka dressed in a pink dress that resembled a pink fraggle.

Me and DD2 decided they all should have been made to take the art work that inspired them, like kids have to take their favourite books at Book Day.
There were enough billionaires there for them to take some originals along

Well done Yannick. Hubi was in bad form.

Well done Maria!

Matteo in early action in Rome - it’s always nice to see him

Popyrin has grown his hair and is wearing a nose strip - neither are particularly good developments!

Forza Matteo!

Popy's definitely made some bad style choices Fizzy, the facial hair isn't helping either.

Popyrin has had a tough season.

Oh dear, Matteo looks in pain.

I'm missing a lot this week, dh is in hospital and although it's only a couple of miles away, I seem to be spending a lot of time going back and forth. He's ok. Just bored!
It's a shame Matteo couldn't do better on home turf.

Hope your DH is ok Raahh

Shame for Matteo but well done Popyrin

Shame for Matteo. Hope he manages to get a good run at something soon.

Popyrin has really struggled with burnout and mental health so I'm glad he has had a win.

Thanks Fizzy- he's had a mild heart attack (they think)- he's been in since Sunday. Having a few tests. He's mostly complaining about the food

Was funny on Sunday , because he was in the same resus bit as Sir Alex Ferguson, who wsa taken ill before the match that was played Sunday afternoon. There were 2 Man Utd security blokes sitting in front of the bay. Dh was like a stalker (Needless to say, Sir Alex did not stay in- he's either gone home, or gone private!).

Good to see Jasmine level the match.

Oh blimey Raahh - at least he was in good company (for a while)

I’m hoping for a Paolini win - I don’t like to see her looking sad

GMP won - is he still being coached by Greg Rusedski? I didn’t watch it enough to see if he was in his box

Duplicate

I forgot about GMP and Greg

No, I don't like seeing Jasmine sad- but Jeanjean is not going away without a fight.

I am sick of Jonathan (as usual). He is gleeful at the prospect of an upset.

Forza! Jasmine!

Forza! Jasmine. The previous game took ages!

Well done Jasmine

Yes Greg is there

I hope your DH is ok Raahh. Boredom is generally a good sign

Stef is playing Tomas 'the shorts' Machac.

It's not looking good for Stef, down a set and a break.
