TENNIS: Roland Garros rolls on

[JaneJeffer]

The ball kids have been amazing. They have had all types of weather to contend with.

How often do we see Alexander senior smiling?

OK I genuinely apologise for any offences that might have been felt

I hope Sascha only gets a trim- and doesn't go to Carlos's barber .

All he needs is a good conditioning treatment

I have visions now of him letting his hair down- and it looking like that wig Casper was wearing in the ATP video - complete with tag. .

I think Craig fancies Flavio

Watching the highlights, I had wondered why Laura disappeared- then I remembered the Queen's women's tournament starts tomorrow. She's probably been busy getting ready for that.

Aww. So many dogs this year! Anne and Rachel will have fit

Can't see that happening on Centre Court, can you? .

I think Clare Balding should present Wimbledon with her dogs. I would like it much better if she did. They probably know more than Isa.

It's always strange, watching the first match on grass, after months of clay.
ADF is playing Bellucci in Stuttgart.

Sound quality on Sky is crap as usual

Mattia is wearing a snazzy purple headband.

Stuttgart grass looks very dark compared to Den Bosch

It's not going well for ADF.

I thought he was going home but he’s decided to stay a bit longer

Well done Mattia. Why do I feel like he has been wearing the same outfit his whole life?

I was thinking the same thing

Bublik is playing doubles with Kyrgios later - why, Sasha? why?

Cilic v Shapo is like going back in time

Typical, the first main grass court tournament in Britain - and it’s raining.

(Yes I know Birmingham was on last week but I’ve been busy watching the French Open!)

Matteo said his scans haven’t shown any significant muscle injuries so he’s hoping to be back for Wimbledon. Yay!

Oh that's good news!

Meanwhile Jannik is undergoing tests at a hospital in Milan which doesn’t sound good.

Fingers crossed for both Matteo and Jannik. I don't wish for them to be injured or ill but there's also the need for ABD at Wimbledon!!
