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 .

I think he would have collapsed if it went to a fifth

Come on Andrey!

Ugh don’t put Djok on when I’m trying to watch Andrey

Well done Andrey. Bit of confusion on match point!

Jelena has gone out. Earlier on she was getting annoyed with people in the crowd clapping so maybe that put her off.

Fran Jones is in a second set tiebreak against Bouzkova (who won the first set 6-0). Would be good if Fran could get through another round but I think Bouzkova may prove too strong.

All the kids crowding round for Andrey’s autograph. I think he should have brought some pre signed cards!

That’s a shame about Jelena

When I posted my comment above Fran was ahead in the tiebreak but I was right about Bouzkova being too strong!

Iga will be happy that Jelena is out - they were on course to meet

That’s a shame for Fran - she did well in the second set - just Katie left flying the flag in the singles

I was going to change channels but Robbie is calling the Humbert/Halys match and I’m delighted to hear him

I think there will be a lot of people who will be disappointed the Iga/Jelena match -up didn't happen- the commentators during the match did warn about getting ahead of themselves .

My dog is now freshly groomed, and my car passed it's MOT, so all is well Chez Raahh.

The day will be complete when Royer beats Djok <fingers crossed>

.

Elena has fallen apart in her second set. Unlike her (the commentators sound baffled!)

I wanted to watch the Jodar match . But TNT has other ideas.
Dh has managed to get HBO max on the tv with tnt(we have it free, apparently)- but the picture quality is unwatchable, really washed out.

Elena is in danger of being knocked out - now 3-0 down in third set.

2 out of 3 ain’t bad according to Meatloaf but he didn’t factor Djokovic into the equation

Elena has now recovered it and is 6-5 up!

Ooh, tiebreak. They’ve helpfully reminded me it’s up to 10 points!

NuRafa has been taken to a tie break in the second set in his match.
Fonseca and Prizmic have just started their match- that could be a bib one, as the winner plays Djok (and Dino beat Djok in Rome).

I got confused, and forgot this was a 10 point tie break in the Rybakina match.

And I set all in the NuRafa match.

Well done Yuliia .

And Elena’s out! That is a surprise. Well done Yuliia.

Your TV must be a bit ahead of me Raahh!

I see Kokkinakis retired. I thought he was looking a bit peaky and seemed to have lost some weight.

Halys is playing some lovely tennis.
