TENNIS: all to clay for

[JaneJeffer]

sorry

It must be boring for Jannik as well not having anyone to really challenge him in the absence of Carlos.

Yes, it's not even just that he's winning, it's that he's winning so easily.

I don't wish a serious injury on him, maybe just a dodgy carbonara or a tiny wee hamstring tweak.

Come on Daniil, time to wake up.

A 'third man' is definitely needed.

Come on Daniil! Make a match of it!

I’m another one who’s not a Svitolina fan. And I also agree that it’s getting a bit boring watching Jannik win everything so easily (I still like him though).

Don't lose the break!

Whoever is blowing that horn or whatever it is needs a good clattering!

Yes, the horn is annoying, and it's a good thing that Daniil is possibly turning this around, or he might be using it as a weapon soon.

Phew. Level . Come on Daniil.

I don’t know what he was doing there

All our eyes need to get used to it Jamie

All those Italians walking out. Anyone would think Rome was in Italy, Can I be a commentator?

It's going Daniil's way now.

Pablo is funny

Daniil

Well done Daniil!

Well done Daniil

Flavio is in big trouble.

Well done Thiago. Never seen him before but he was unbelievable.

Thiago is having a really good tournament.

Shame we won'tget to see Flavio again this week with his lovely eyes.

I liked Naomi’s orange outfit. Shame it didn’t help her win.

Iga beat Naomi easily .

Rybakina has just bageled Pliskova in the first of set her match.

Could be deja vu for Pliskova, who lost the last final she was in, in Rome (during Covid, was odd) 0-6 0-6 , to Iga. Iirc, it was a really quick final. The previous year, she made the final (playing Halep) and had to retire. having lost the fiirst set 0-6.

She has made 3 finals there(at least she beat Konta ).

It’s nice to see Karolina playing again.
