Camara broken when serving at *2-3, Les Bleus now *4-2.

[Sallydaisy]

Les Bleus (Mahut/Herbert) took the first set 6'3 but are trailing 2-5 in the 2nd.
Maybe Norrie/O'Mara can claw this one back in the 3rd?

1 set all then ... the French Open is best of 3 tie-break sets (not a MTB)

[Hawkeye]

3rd set still going? :big grin:

The 6-3 3-6 6-3 defeat was not too bad against such an experienced pair.

[Hawkeye]

Jamie and Bruno are third up on court 13 tomorrow against Marach & Qureshi.

Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram are first up on court 10 against Caruso and Davidovich Fokina

[exislander]

It looks like the top seeds are out due to positive Covid test? Not named but the draw has Andujar/Martinez to play Alternate/Alternate????

Who were the s-f opps? And I watched Elena and Aslan's match yesterday and they are really sharp!!!

[JAMES4578]

Joe Salisbury and Desirae Krawczyk are the Mixed Doubles champions coming from behind to beat Elena Vesnina/Aslan Karatsev 2-6,6-4,10-5. They were up against it in the first half of match with Aslan and Elena being really strong but found their way into it and the better team when it mattered, well done !
:clap::clap:
Joe is the first t Brit to win a French title since John LLoyd won the mixed with Wendy Turnbull in 1982. The walkover in the semis was against Olmos/Cabal who put out Jamie Murray/Bethanie Mattek Sands in the opening round.

[Jan]

Fabulous!! :bravo:

[RoastLamb]

Great stuff! Am just about to watch the match on my PVR. Good to know who won, takes the :sofa: out of it.

[banskogirl]

A great match :cheer: they were so happy.

Joe will be partnering Harriet Dart at Wimbledon, he’s feeling a little guilty now :rolling:

[JAMES4578]

Entertaining Men's Doubles Final,Bubik/Golubev set early pace and served for it but Herbert/Mahut fought back for the win 4-6,7-6(7-1) 6-4. Glad they done it, well done !:clap::clap:
