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 .

Thank goodness for that! Well done Matteo.

Blimey.

Forza Matteo! Thrilled for him .

But what a way to lose a match.

Let’s hope he’s not too knackered for the next match

Huge chance for Matteo to go deep in his part of the draw- if that match hasn't taken too much out of him (or caused any injuries, since he's so unlucky !).

Just seen Amanda Anisimova got knocked out. That’s a surprise. She was playing Diane Parry so maybe the crowd support for Diane got to her.

If it's any consolation to Matteo- whoever he plays is also probably going to be just as knackered. 4 and 3/4 hours in the match, and it could still go to a 5th, if Landaluce takes this tie break.

I saw the start of that match- a lot was made in commentary (Chrissie was commentating) about her time out with injury, but that she expected her to be able to bounce back. It went to a match tie break though. Not an easy match.

And Landaluce has taken it to the 5th set- so really, the next round will be won by whoever still has anything left in their legs.
