The guttural cheer and volley of expletives I let go today, when Thiem converted his match point to send Perry Farrell home...

 

Looking forward to the final now.

Weird stat in the Guardian the other day that this French Open is the first time since 2012 that all 3 of Nadal, Djokovic & Federer were in the semis of a GS tournament.

Would love Thiem to do it but I think Rafa's just too good on Clay

Most likely mate.

 

Expect he’s learnt plenty from last year’s mauling and closed the gap somewhat, but remains to be seen what effect the stop-start nature of his semi final and still being on court this afternoon has had.

[Dr Nowt]

It’s an excellent final already.

 

Both have settled immediately and are playing top class tennis.

 

One sublime rally after another.

 

Can already see the maturation in Thiem a year on.

[Dr Nowt]

Broken Rafa in the first set, 2-3 up.

 

This is mustard.

 

Live on ITV4 for anyone who fancies a geez at it.

[Dr Nowt]

Theim is playing brilliantly but Rafa at an impossible level.

 

Set up.

[Dr Nowt]

A set apiece.

 

Fair play to Thiem, this is a huge effort.

[KMD7]

Excellent end to the set from Thiem

[Dr Nowt]

This lad is going to be a sensation the minute he wins a slam.

 

Definitely getting a glimpse of the future here.

[Dr Nowt]

Rafa laying down the punish fuck here for his cheek.

[Dr Nowt]

2 sets and a break up, Rafa is turning the screw.

[Dr Nowt]

Broke him down physically and mentally in the end, galloping to the last two sets 6-1.

 

Thiem will come again and may well be the future of the sport, but yet again the sheer brilliance of Rafa Nadal keeps this era going.

 

12 French Opens. Unbelievable stuff.

[redheart]

And by sheer brilliance you mean massive drug cheat.

Murray’s doubles partner just won the singles at Queens, and fucking hell...his girlfriend. Work of art.

 

He’s a bona fide dreamboat himself, so they must be one of the most attractive couples around. 

[sir roger]

He's the lad Murray's mum calls Deliciano Lopez.

 

On a separate point , when did Heather Watson last win a match ? I reckon I would beat her playing left-handed.

I like Heather Watson.

 

Johanna Konta however can fucking snort weed killer the horrible bastard

She's fucking scrawny though, needs a good chippy tea down her neck!

[Dr Nowt]

Andy Murray.

 

Whaddafuckingguy.

[Creator Supreme]

His brother will be cursing him if he sticks to doubles from now on!

[bigthrusts]

Wimbledon draw was made today. Looking good for Djokovic in the top half.

 

In the bottom half, if Nadal gets through his first round, he could face Kyrgios, Shapovalov, Cilic, Thiem, Federer and Djokovic on his route to the final.

 

39 year old Venus Williams playing a 15 year old in the women's.

[Dr Nowt]

Meant to be going Friday or Saturday, desperately trying to see Roger while he’s still going.

 

No doubt ultimately be another tedious win for microphone head.

[Champ]

I’m going. Never been before. Cannae wait!

[Dr Nowt]

What day Cath?
