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 .

Cerundolo the elder is also through.

Battle of the name chanting , going on in the Hubi/Big Foe match.

Interesting- tomorrow's Order of Play is out and the Djok/Fonseca match is not the night match- it is 3rd on Chatrier 'not before 3.30'.

The night match is Zverev/Halys. I'm surprised, because it's Sascha's second night match. But I suppose, he's playing a French player.

Big Foe looks great, all in blue.

Hubi is playing a really good tie break.

Well done Frances. He looks like a medic in that kit.

Wispa is going full throttle

Well done Daria, finally

Come on Maria!

Well done Maria

Sherif’s screeching is so annoying. Come on Coco!

Rachel does not believe that Alex and Tim are the same age.

She is so annoying. And shrieky.

They are interviewing Kouame- he is a very confident, self assured 17 year old.

I think he looks a bit like Sinitta

Juan is looking at Rachel as if to say who’s this mad woman

He really did.

JMC has the same 'American Footballer' shoulders as NuRafa.

Matteo in the night match. What a lovely way to spend the evening.

I like Alex Aljoe, the presenter in the stadium with Mats. She's far more likeable than Rachel (and speaks a bunch of languages- Laura is very jealous of how she rolls her 'rrrs').

Jannik losing has certainly made me look at the men's tournament differently. The top half of the draw feels like literally anyone could reach the final.

As for the bottom half, well... I am going to be cheering very loudly for Joao tomorrow.

Someone stole Big Foe’s racquet when he was celebrating. He has offered two tickets for his next match if they return it!

Seriously? What a shit thing to do. I wouldn't be offering the thief free tickets!

No, he's a better man than I would be!

Mac is mangling names all over the place.

He can't his head around the French pronunciation of 'Arthur'.

And the way he says 'Jodar' has definite 'Hodor- Game of Thrones' vibes.

Matteo is doing well.

Collignon has beaten Shelton- another bites the dust.
