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 might be my new favourite Jane.

I feel really sorry for Arthur. He wants so badly to have a great run at RG, and this is the second year in a row that his body’s let him down. It really is a bummer of a tournament with Carlos, Lore, Holger, Jack all out, and now Arthur as well.

Ice it's rubbish, isnt it? Arthur would have drawn big crowds on home soil, and was starting to do really well recently. I can understand why he doesn't want to make any injuries worse- but he must be bitterly disappointed.

C'est le premier jour de Roland-Garros! Allez!

And I have switched on TNT- to a discussion about Raducanu , and Tim sitil insisting she's amazing.

At least Rachel Stringerdoesn't appear to be there (yet - it's Laura manning the desk- but it doesn't mean she won't be back).

Agassi is involved- that's cool.

I am bracing myself for the TNT coverage being as bad as last year, and a lot of talking when play has already started.

Makes me grateful when we get back to Sky (and I don't say that oftenever).

I'm pissed off already
Matches have started, Laura, Ann and Tim are still bloody wittering.

RB isn’t working

I don't have the 'really easy to use HBO channel' (I refuse to pay for anything else). I do have TNT- which seems to have 2/3 channels for tennis- and a red button thing that can show up to 6 matches- but never does,
So really, it's no different to ITV/Eurosport of old, in that I can probably watch 2 matches, consistently.

We are somehow watching Spanish coverage of ADF/Dzumhur. It looks hot out there.
