TENNIS: Roland Garros rolls on

[JaneJeffer]

Harriet probably threatened him
<joke - for anyone who is not on the thread don’t get your knickers in a twist!>

Harriet's career has tanked a bit in the last 12 months since then, hasn't it?

(to be fair, Lois hasn't really built on her success , but she has been injured. Even so -karma Harriet...).

Well done Katerina and Taylor

Well done to Katerina and Taylor for winning the doubles-I managed to miss most of it. I was sad that Katerina and Barbora stopped playing together, but Katerina is definitely the top female doubles player of recent years, imo.

This speech is going on a bit!

#blessed

This pre-amble with Craig wandering about doing strange comedy bits with Anne on an umpire's chair, and Tim in a deck chair, is all a bit cringey.

I hope these two didn’t get the lurgy from Matteo

Rachel is dumb.

Of course it's quiet- it's not starting yet.

They've got you sitting in the stadium over an hour before it' starting. They are probably sick of you in the studio.

I know- it's a bit worrying, really.

Maja is lovely

It's nice that Maja is still around today. A lot of players who have lost a final, would have disappeared as soon as it was over.

it was a lovely interview.

It was funny seeing them harrassing Tim about the Wimbledon Wc- I feel like it has been brought to attention so often now, there is no way she won't get one.

If Sascha wins, maybe Mac will learn how to pronounce Zverev.

Or maybe not.

No chance

Bye Mac!

This build up is far too long. Show us the dancing instead.

Jane I think I would prefer to watch the batshit dancng.

And I hope this build up doesn't end up being longer than the actual match.

I feel like I've been sitting here hours already.

Last year's match was so long! The dog won't wait that long for a walk again.

Nervous start from Flavio.

It’s a bit windy again today

I’m watching Flavio being fussy about which ball he gets and thinking of Sascha saying he doesn’t even look at the ball - he just hits whichever one he is given

They were saying earlier that Flavio is quite set in his ways and superstitious (he always uses the same shower that Rafa used).

How tall is Sascha?

No-one has ever said.

I saw the women’s doubles finals but managed to miss the build up to the men’s final (although I quite like a bit of interpretive dancing )

DS2 says that Rachel is good on the football and can speak lots of languages but I’m not convinced!

Come on Flávio - hope it’s not a one sided final

I saw him telling the story about Rafa knocking on the door and telling him that it was his shower
