TENNIS: Roland Garros rolls on

[JaneJeffer]

It’s raining here too

It’s pouring here as well - I’ve just been to the dentist - today is not a fun day!

I’m not sure what the weather is like in London? Williams and Mboko are still scheduled to play doubles so not sure if that will happen - I’m sure that Laura will be keen for them to play but not sure if Mboko will have recovered fully

I keep seeing Vandewinkel’s name pop up in draws - I’ve never seen her but her name always makes me smile

It's lovely here - 22C & sunny.

(I'll get my coat.................................)

Oh I’ve just seen that they’ve withdrawn - hope that Mboko will be fit for Wimbledon

You don’t need your coat magi

Enjoy the nice weather!

It's not better in London unfortunately, heavy rain and due to continue most of the day. Looks like it's raining in Stuttgart as well.

That's not good- they will be playing catch up , which won't be easy since they don't have any courts. I winder if they will decide to start play early tomorrow (assuming the weather is better)- ddon't know how that works with tickets though.

Play seems to be going on in Stuttgart- Tiafoe and Hijikata are a few games in.

It looks like the rain will probably clear around 5pm, so they might squeeze a couple of matches in. Tomorrow looks better, but it's never ideal when players have to play multiple matches in a day.

Good start for Barbora against Hanne Vandewinkel. 5-0 up already in the first set.

Dan Evans is retiring after Wimbledon - I think it’s probably time but it’s a bit sad - Tim had better give him a Wimbledon WC!

Dan Evans is retiring after he wins Wimbledon
Fixed that for you Fizzy

Simon Reid said there are two versions of Dan Evans and the second one is terrific

Surely this must mean he's getting a wild card!

Zhang has beaten Griekspoor

Didn't see it but happy if Zhang is back and playing well, he's great. Also Griekspoor seems like a jerk.

Just as I read this they showed a replay of him whacking the chair with his racquet

Apparently Jannik’s medical tests were all clear so he’s getting ready for Wimbledon now. Everyone else is probably cursing about this news!

Haha, see!

I'm confused about why we're getting updates about Jannik's medical tests. Did he decide to tell everyone about them or are the Italian tabloids bribing someone?

They’re probably stalking him

I don't know if Dan knows something we don't or is just putting extreme pressure on Wimbledon and one other (Queen's or Eastbourne??) to be given wildcards, by announcing his retirement after Wimbledon He says he has two final tournaments to play
Anyway, glad he's realised it is time to hang up his racquet. I wonder if he'll stay in the game somehow? He was a passionate team player in Davis Cup and the Olympics.

Hope Mboko recovers for Wimbledon.

Bloody awful weather here aswell. Remind what month this is?! February??!!

I think magi has found the only place in Europe where it’s not raining

This game is insane- 7 break points have come and gone for Barbora.
