Great match on SKY 407

As a great Rafa fan I felt that Carlos was the weak link yesterday in the Men’s Doubles. I still think the Winners were well deserved and wouldn’t be surprised if they got Gold.

They put up a good fight, but were sadly beaten by a better pairing. At least we still have Carlos in the singles to enjoy.

Not looking good for Spain.

Rafa AND double Carlos today. Doesn’t get much better 🤩

My grandfather who I never knew was Spanish, so I’m claiming the grandparent rule 😃

Don’t forget Dan!

Yessssssssssss! 🎾

NotAGran55 Tue 30-Jul-24 18:28:03

I’m watching through my fingers 🖐️

Grannybags Tue 30-Jul-24 18:12:49

Love the name! Good match so far 🤞

Vamos Nadalcaraz !

I’m sorry to see Rafa go out of the singles, but he was outplayed to be honest.
He can use all his energy for the doubles now, on a positive note 🙂

Poor Rafa. He’s been such a warrior but his body’s let him down.

I watched the doubles match until the tv coverage stopped abruptly just before the final set.

Watched the singles today but felt very sad to see Rafa go out in straight sets. Hoping he and Alcaraz have a better run in the doubles.

Watching in IPlayer.
Sorry !!!

tickingbird Mon 29-Jul-24 15:34:49

How do you watch the tennis. I keep trying iplayer but no tennis.

Labradora Mon 29-Jul-24 14:11:12

Novak is winning 6:1 second set 4:1.
Novak fitter and more match fit having reached Roland Garros finals although Alcaraz beat him there.
Glad our wonderful champion Rafa retiring this season : don't want to see him trounced like this.
Novak ( our other wonderful champion) just winning 'cos he can. Rafa would expect and has got "no quarter".
Always a privilege and a pleasure to see our great champions in action.
Let the wonderful youngsters start to take the Torch now........

It's a bit warm at Roland Garros 🥵

NotAGran55 Mon 29-Jul-24 06:40:10

I’m going to miss the Rafa/Novak match today because I’m at work 😩

Pittcity Sun 28-Jul-24 19:41:22

OMG!!!!

Grandmadinosaur Sun 28-Jul-24 18:37:59

I missed seeing him today. Love the name suggested for the doubles Nadalcaraz - brilliant!

Andy Murray putting us through the wringer as usual at the moment. !

NotAGran55 Sun 28-Jul-24 14:44:45

He’s off to a flying start again today after yesterday’s fantastic performance.

tickingbird Sat 27-Jul-24 20:25:35

Yes

Grandmadinosaur Sat 27-Jul-24 20:05:43

NotAGran55 Sat 27-Jul-24 18:58:59
