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 .

Score watching. Never really taken to Fonseca but I hope he wins the 5th!

Can't believe the Demon scoreline!

Completely agree, he’s fantastic

Djok has been gone for longer than the allowed 5 minutes , surely.

Is he still attached to his blood drip Raahh?* *

If Fonseca wins this, I will dance a samba. And will certainly revise my opinion about him

Come on Joao - hope that Djok didn’t have any magic fig juice in that very long break

Video please kazza

I haven't actually been watching , only score watching - but I was wondering why there was such a delay in the scores, so turned over. Nearly 9 minutes between the end of set 4, and Djok starting 5. Didn't hear him getting any warnings .

(Jodar did the other day, for being 30 seconds late back from changing his kit).

He's been shaking his arm about- I predict a riot a physio appearance if Joao doesn't roll over and let him win, soon.

I feel the same- but it will only last if he wins- (and not if he plays Casper next).

Jesper De Jong was nearly in the locker room - he's playing Khachanov.- but that has gone to a 5th. That will be a massive win for the Dutch player, who I think was a lucky loser.

I'm not sure I want a tie break in the Casper match.

I have a horrible feeling it won't go his way- and I'm not sure what he has in the tank , for a 5 set match.

You wouldn't want to see it fizzy (plus, I'd have no idea how to post it. You know what a luddite I am )
Surely he should have been docked 2 games for the delay Raahh It does annoy me how much he gets away with. And he must be getting desperate if he's playing the old injury card

I see Cock is serving first in the 5th, unfortunately!

Fuck it!!

Bloody hell. Casper is about to go 2 sets down.

Blimey! I see Mensik has won!

Since when did TP become a master of the clay?!

I don't know, and I don't like it.

I think I'd rather Casper lost to Djok than bloody TP, to be honest.

Jesper De Jong has raced to a 4-0 lead in set 5, so I don't know what has happened with Karen. But kudos to Jesper.

De Jong is a double break up in the 5th.

Come on Joao!!

On a completely different subject, I'm off to see Take That tomorrow night! Wasn't a fan back in the day, I'm an 80's girl....to which end, I saw Midge Ure on Wednesday, who was fantastic!
Just trying to take my mind off the thought of Djok winning!!

Casper has vanished- and James Keovathong doesn't look like he's going to be lenient like the umpire in the Djok match.

Have a great time kazza- my sister goes to Take That concerts a lot. She always has a great time. Even though there's only 3(?) of them left now?

They are discussing the bathroom break on the Ruud match.

Funny- not so much discussion was had over on the Djok match , when he did it.
Ruud is hardly one known for pushing the rules.
