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'm with you too MayBee there's just something about him. I'm sure the crowd will be supporting Tsitipas so hope he wins.

I’m with you there MayBee 70. I’d really love to see a Tsitsipas victory. You could see how much it meant to him in his press conference after the game.

I hope Novak loses tomorrow. I really don’t like him on several levels. I find his whole attitude unpleasant.

It was a splendid battle of the most mighty!
Looking forward to the final at 2 pm tomorrow BST (15:00 hours French time).
I read it will be on ITV3 (not ITV4 where it has been for the last 2 weeks),
so for Grans who want to watch it on ITV channel - please check - don’t just take my word for it.

Was so glad that they didn't stop it to enforce the France curfew time, that really spoilt the match a couple nights ago.
It was a good game, lets hope Tsitsipas doesn't get overawed by the occasion and plays like he did in the semi.

Have been glued to the tennis. Both semi finals were brilliant superb tennis. Was hoping Rafa would win but it was not to be tonight.

What amazing tennis, sometimes so fast I couldn’t follow the ball. Those shots!

I'm worn out after watching that! Another Rafa fan here. Disappointed but the tennis was amazing!

Oh minimoon Shame you missed it. It’s been on for 2 weeks now. Ladies final tomorrow mens on Sunday.

Doh! I didn't know it was being televised on terrestrial TV.
I've just wasted my evening watching
Star Trek! blush

Poor Rafa. What a fight he put up though ❤️

Woe! - there it is!! Thanks.

Think it's Novak's, tbh.

Talullah Fri 11-Jun-21 22:14:48

I just can't watch. I am getting far too stressed and the dog's getting upset. So it's off for now.

Grandmadinosaur Fri 11-Jun-21 22:13:19

Djokovic really is a tennis automaton isn’t he? ???

NanKate Fri 11-Jun-21 21:44:53

Oh my oh my ND won the tie break ?. Come on Rafa ????????.

ixion Fri 11-Jun-21 20:28:52

At least a Rafa win would save us from another of Novak's victory bellows we heard on Wednesday☹️

MayBee70 Fri 11-Jun-21 20:13:23

Another Rafa fan here. Not looking good, though. C’mon Rafa.

Talullah Fri 11-Jun-21 20:12:49
