Boulter/Watson play Errani/Paolini ITA on Court Mathieu at 12noon, 11am UK. Thursday 1st August.
Gosh that’s a big surprise about Alcarez and Nadal - really shocked by that!
Watched Boulter and Watson - really good match with a very noisy Brazilian crowd
I am no fan of Nadal, but you would have to have a heart of stone not to feel for him leaving Roland Garos for probably the last time.
Boulton are in action right now.
Lost the 2nd game for the Italians to go 2-0 up but then broke back.
Serving now at 1-2 on serve.
Zheng took the 1st set 6'2 but Swiatek mounted a fight back in the 2nd
and was 4-0 up before Zheng broke to get on the board. Zheng now serving at 1-4.
Humph. The ITA have broken GBR again .....
C'mon Hev and Katie!
:GBflag:
ITA take the first set 6'2.
Not sure what's up with Swiatek but Zheng has now come back to level at 4-4.
Swiatek serving to stay ahead.
Swiatek out; Zheng is into the Final with a win of 6'2, 7'5.
Errani/Paolini d Boulter/Watson 6'3, 6'1 and advance to the Final.
They have played very well together and Katie will have learnt a lot. Now down to the boys! x
Surprised at Swiatek not reaching final on clay, did not come close today but good run from Heather/Katie!
Alcaraz is fighting back for the 2nd set having won the 1st. Wear Paul out Carlos! x
Alcaraz d Paul 6'3, 7'6(7).
Musetti leads Zverev 7'5 and they're at 5-5 in the 2nd with Zverev serving.
Musetti d Zverev 7'5, 7'5 in a match lasting just over 2 hours.
Ruud v FAA next on Lenglen.
Followed by Dandy v Taymy so probably 6pm could be the time for that.
Olympic sport and weather.
There's a very high chance of a heavy rainstorm in Paris between now and 19.00 UK time.
GOLF
Play has been suspended in R1 because of thunder and and the risk of lightning.
The venue is at Le Golf National out the other side of Versailles and several miles SW of RollyG.
SAILING
Racing has been abandoned for the 2nd time today in Marseille on account of there being no wind.
Golf has resumed ...
FAA takes the 1st set 6'4 over Ruud.
At the rate they are playing it might be 1.5hrs before Dandy are on.
There's me thinking FAA only had to hold serve to win the match.
He's now serving at 5-6 to take the 2nd set into a tie-breaker.
If it goes 1-1 we'll be here for another hour waiting for Andy!
:doh:
And it has!
FAA serving for the match - again...
... and finally makes it through for Canada!
At last the Canadian takes the match just as Novak takes the 1st set against the Greek so very soon now we have what we've all been waiting for! x
I missed whole set cos was out for lunch break and didn't expect Carlos totally destroy Felix that much!
FAA/Dabrowski for Canada have just won the Bronze Medal in Mixed Doubles
after beating NED Koolhof/Schuurs 6'3, 7'6(2)
Musetti was neck and neck with Djoko in that first set but the Serb came through 6'4.
Musetti responds by breaking Nole in the 1st game of the 2nd set.
Ebden/Peers won the Men's doubles.
Djokovic was not too troubled in the end taking the 2nd 6-2, Alcaraz lost only 2 games to FAA! It was tight in the Men's Doubles with Ebden/peers taking the mtb 10-8!
Alcaraz and Djokovic have both held serve so it's a tie-break for the 1st set.
Djokovic takes the breaker 7-3,Alcaraz possibly paying for not converting any of the 5 bps at 4 all. Hopefully Carlos come right back!
Djokovic takes the 1st set 7'6(3).
I wish to announce the unprecedented situation, that I am rooting for the Spaniard…….!!!
Even if Novak wins the Gold here he will never equal Andy's two singles Golds.
True, but I don’t want to him to have even one.
Carlos needs to break right now whilst Djoko is at *4-5 and needs to hold serve to stay in the 2nd set.
Tie-break for the 2nd set and Djoko breaks Carlos to go *1-0 and serving
*2-0 Djoko, c'mon Carlos!
*2-1 break back for Spain, back on serve. Can Alcaraz make it pay?
2-2*
3-2* Nole breaks again ...
*4-2
*5-2 sigh
6-2*
7-2*
Gold medal for Novak Djokoic.
