Lets be honest lads, I am not the first person who thought this was a "Cilic withdrawal"

Elina Svitolina (UKR) [18]
vs.
Ana Ivanovic (SRB) [14]

As tight as the seedings suggest? Might just catch some of this match today.

^ Worth watching just to perve at Ivanovic anyway.

Go to your local high street and you'll find a better sort

Perhaps from a male perspective .. From a female one there's little to perve at at this point in time,have to be satisfied with the game not the players overall attractiveness quotient...

You not seen where I live.

Tramp stamps galore and bigger beer guts than most men.

Ivanovic is sadly useless these days. Enjoy her in the early rounds while you can.

Did anyone watch Naomi Osaka BTW?

 

[Jono]

Yeah Osaka is awesome.

Ahh, a classic internet comment of the worst kind.

Was a terrible match between Ana and Elina, but expected from those two.

Just retire Ana, it's pretty sad watching you despite the aesthetic benefits.

Bit raw but can bash a good ball. Hope she doesn't flare out.

Well timed rain, it stayed away when I was in Paris

Glad I missed the ivanovic match...
Must try and see Osakas next match it seems...

 

[Cabinet96]

Don't understand how Tsonga retired after one set and they still almost couldn't finish a straight sets game on the main court.

Spot someone who's never been to Shrewsbury!

hahah, so good.

Man, gutted about Rafa. We are getting a bit more used to a second week without both Rafa and Fed in a Slam nowadays.

Gasquet vs Nishikori will make interesting watching today..and Murrays game against Isner..
Good Sunday morning viewing...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Kuznetsova - Muguruza also entertaining. Garbi up a set and a break, brute force stuff.

 

[Jono]

In my view Nishi will absolutely destroy Gasquet. Comfortably won the last two matches during the clay season.

See Raonic is struggling..despite having a new coach..McEnroe ..one set down already and the second going same way

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Raonic is never going to be a thing on clay though, coach or no coach.

Also wondering whether McEnroe will last longer than Wilander (8 days)
