TENNIS thread- We're saying good bye to Rome, and counting down to Roland Garros.

[Raahh]

Looks like the old thread is ending and I had a Jannik-panic .

Thanks Raahh.

Funny that the kid insisted on being next to Jannik for the photo

Here we go.

Come on Casper. Prove everyone wrong!!

I know- bless!

All Casper can hope for here, is that Jannik has had a dodgy lunch. Or suddenly gets a bit woozy from the sun.

Great start Casper!

Good start- not going down a break from the off against Jannik, is very important.

Ooh...

Go Casper! Don't lose your own serve.

Thanks Raahh

Pfft.
Well, that was inevitable.

This is a good start from Casper- I hope he can keep it up.

He's already doing better than his match last year.

Thanks for the new thread Raahh* *

This may be where Jannik kicks up a gear.

Casper had to work hard for that one

Bit early to be hanging on in there after breaking Sinner's serve. Come on Casper, at least take it to 3 sets.

It's a big ask, since he's never won a set against Jannik- but it would be nice if he could!

Aargh

And here's where Jannik takes the set, probably.

Come on Casper!

Damn Casper.

Oof.

It was a longer set than I expected.

Damn.

Oh.

Casper seems a bit rattled now.

Come on Casper- at least get this game (because it feels like it 's all slipping away now).

I'm glad he made the final, though, since Madrid didn't go to plan.
