Fabulous tennis today

Lucca oh yes he certainly is ?
Hard luck on him but I’m sure it won’t be too long before he wins a trophy.

Just going to google Zverev…..

Ah well, but he more than gave him a run for his money. ???

Yesssss Lucca but I find Zverev even more so …. ?

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

MawBe

Am I just perhaps an instinctive “underdog” supporter?
I find Djokovic smug and arrogant (probably neither, just his manner) as if he thinks he is unbeatable.
Time for a shake up at the top perhaps? ???

He’s a great mimic.

We’re both engrossed!

Ditto Grandmadinosaur ? ?

Yes I’m thoroughly enjoying it. Bad news is DH will be home soon after watching the football. Thank goodness just having a cold just assemble it meal ?? it will be eaten in front of tv too

I do too * Mawbe* . Didn’t mind it in the days of Martina, Stefi Graf,Chris Evert etc but Serena and Venus apart they all seem much of a clone of each other if am allowed to say do.

This match is better than I ever dared hope ?
Well done Stefanos Tsitsipas. Keep it up!

I do so prefer Men’s tennis.
The women’s game is always a bit “Pat a cake” in comparison- Venus Williams and Martina Navratilova excepted. Even when the men grunt, it doesn’t grate like the squeals of Sharapova and her like!

Another one here who cannot stand Djokovic. I don’t even watch his matches unless his opponent is one of my favourites.
I agree it’s time for new younger ones to start taking the grand slam titles unless it’s against Rafa of course ?
I hope Tsitsipas can hang on to his lead ????

MawB You are right about Djokovic. He is smug, arrogant and bad tempered.

Tsitsipas has taken the first set and played great tennis. Let’s hope he can carry on and win. He’s the future, along with several others and, although I live Rafa, it’s time for a change.

Happy in the Millie house.

We have 2 much younger men poised to fill the “top guns’ boots” in Tsitsipas and Zverev.
It was a shame they were drawn to play each other and therefore knock one of them out.
They are the future starts of top Men’s tennis I think.

I think it is Tsitsipas’s first Grand Slam final (age 22) and he is not overawed by Djokovic in the first set in Paris today.

The sport needs fresh stars. We’ve been spoilt by having so many top class players at one time but they’re all in their mid to late thirties now.

I’m seated for the Match - let noone disturb me!
Tsistipas is starting well.
I’m just hoping for a stunning display of tennis (and preferably not Djokovic to win).

All settled in for the Men’s final. Doesn’t seem right that Rafa isn’t there and I’m praying that ND gets his a* kicked.

Come on Tsitsipas don’t let ND win. Come back soon Rafa.

I’d love to see Rafa play in person.

I do hope this isn’t his last chance to win another major and I’ll be rooting for Tsitsipas tomorrow but I fear ND will be too strong. Did you see Djokovic’s behaviour against Berretini the other night? It was appalling and I’ve no idea why he gets away with it. He’s unhinged.

My feelings exactly about Rafa too tickingbird I was lucky enough to see him play just the once (a dream come true) but as I was watching last night I was thinking I so hope I will get another chance one day ?.
I was also in tears with Tsitsipas at his interview after his semi.

I’m almost ashamed to admit I was close to tears when Rafa lost. I’ve been a tennis nut since I was a child and he is my all time favourite player. It’s made much worse by the fact I really do not like Djokovic and wouldn’t have been so upset if it had been anyone else.

It was a fantastic match but dear Rafa looked tired towards the end, bless him. There’ll never be another like him.
