My bottom has been mostly glued to the sofa since early afternoon thanks to the two amazing semi finals at Roland Garros. What fabulous tennis.

I take that as a compliment ? (And not a double backhanded one either!) grin

Love your balls Mawwink

Come on Andy! ???
His French opponent looks like he is fresh out of the Foreign Legion! Do you think he could keep his spare ???under tgat beard?

Lucca Tue 15-Jun-21 16:18:41

Oh I don’t like those hipster beards. A short beard yes!
What a great shot Murray just did

Pittcity Tue 15-Jun-21 16:12:06

Andy Murray is playing against a fabulous beard at the moment!

I think Tiramisu means “pick me up” in English
Well Berrettini is my Tiramisu.

And talking of Italians, Fabio Fognini is a lovely player to watch

Talullah Tue 15-Jun-21 16:08:59

Dustin Brown is one of my favourites. An utter delight to watch. He plays some of the most amazing points. And he's rather lovely as well.

Ooh.
Men have bodies like that??

Lucca Tue 15-Jun-21 15:30:36

Ok…

Lucca Tue 15-Jun-21 15:27:55

Well if he’s Italian…..says it all for me ! I’d best google

Puzzler61 Tue 15-Jun-21 14:11:00

Just heard he will play Andy Murray in his next match at Queen’s.

Puzzler61 Tue 15-Jun-21 14:10:10

Move over guys - there is new heartthrob in town at Queen’s. ?
Matteo Berrettini. He has just won his match against a fellow Italian tennis player.
I enjoy seeing tennis played on grass courts.

I know it’s an unseemly comment in a woman of my age…. But tsitipas is rather beautifully put together isn’t he ?

It was a very enjoyable 4hrs ?

Grandmadinosaur Sun 13-Jun-21 20:13:30

He’s maturing beautifully ? and I see his son Leo is coming through the ranks too

Oo yes Henri Le Conte and before that Bjorn Borg

Borg is more attractive as an older man IMO!

MayBee70 Sun 13-Jun-21 19:33:32

So we’ve all just realised that ITV show the French Open. Only to find that this is their last year…..sad

NanKate Sun 13-Jun-21 19:31:56

Q. What does the Queen and my hero Rafa have in common ?

A. The Queen has met 13 Presidents and Rafa has won 13 Roland Garros Tournaments. ?

Arrogant ND will never beat that.

I always found Henri Leconte very attractive. When he was young Nastase was another of mine but I saw him very close up about 10 yrs ago at an exhibition match and he looked drugged to the eyeballs and not appealing in the slightest.

Puzzler61 Sun 13-Jun-21 18:46:03

It’s good that we all differ in our opinions ?

Grandmadinosaur Sun 13-Jun-21 18:41:42

Oo yes Henri Le Conte and before that Bjorn Borg
