Can't hear what was being said between him and the crowd but seemed to be some verbals going on for a while.

[Stan the Bat]

Seems pretty easy to get him wound up--can see people jumping at the chance

He brings the crowd. If the tennis body want to calm him down, simple. 6 month ban and 500k fine. As it’s a gents sports I think he’s going to get his ass handed to him. He is a foul mouthed prick. Needs a lesson in decorum

That ball girl's brave!

Looks like Konta has a decent chance of winning the French Open. If she reaches the final she’d be the first British woman for over 40 years to make a grand slam final.

The semi final lineup:

23yo Ashleigh Barty (#8 in the world) vs 17yo Amanda Anisimova (#51)
28yo Johanna Konta (#26) vs 19yo Marketa Vondrousova (#38)

British-ish.... I wasn't convinced she could hold herself together, but the draw has opened up nicely, so good luck to her.

[Stan the Bat]

Some good viewing tomorrow.

Konta's match and Feds vs Nads.

Why are people calling him Joker?

Listen to how John McEnroe pronounces his name.

Jokervitch.

And I thought it was because he was known for being a bit of a joker (mainly off court) a few years back! Never twigged it was due to how McEnroe pronounced his name!

She did.......

The teenager played some great stuff. Jo really tightened up on the two break points to take the first set. Shame as she was flying at times.

[McGee_22]

Djokovic getting very ratty about the 30 second clock, the ref calling the score so quickly and generally being hurried along.

[NRS]

Good start today.

[chunder27]

Just clicked on to see French Open

Lasted about 2 minutes, two grown men grunting and sighing as if they were on the toilet.
Pathetic, sorry.

[JagLover]

Federer reached the semi finals of the French and just won Halle. Even at his age must be considered one of the favourites for Wimbledon.

Feliciano Lopez deserves an award for the amount of tennis he's played over the last few days at Queens.

[SydneyBridge]

Well done Murray and Lopez for the doubles. Murray looked good

Unbelievable performance by López.
Eight hours on court in 24.
Winning singles followed one hour later by playing in and winning doubles.
Makes footballers who moan about two games in a week look like wimps.

Great to see Murray back and moving so well, he improved as the tournament went on.
Best week of tennis for some time.

[Venisonpie]

Blimey, young girl Gauf has got Venus on the run.

[bitchstewie]

BOOM!

[Blackpuddin]

Wonder if Bernard Tomic's sponsors are regretting having their name on this arrogant tt's shirt. In this third set he's just playing hard enough to not be fined. The really annoying thing is that he's a bloody good player if he can only be bothered.
